If that is the yahoo tool bar that you speak of, look for the (pencil over to the right on the tool bar) right click the pencil and there is the uninstaller. Yes it does not show up in add/remove programs.

Safari Browser from Apple Available for Windows

Comments (5)

I've used Safari for a couple of days and here are my impressions. It downloaded, installed, and loads without any problem. With it you also get "Bonjour Service" which, I think, is used for local networks, and connecting devices. Upon my second day of starting Safari, the Bonjour software again wanted access past Zonealarm. At that point I decided I did not want to see Bonjour anymore, did a file search, and deleted files. It had not appeared in Startup files. As to a browser, it is a little faster than Firefox, IE, and Opera in opening new pages. I did not like the browser appearance as I am accustomed to others. Its opening page contains "advertisement" buttons that include Apple, Store, Mac, iPod, iPhone, Downloads, and Support. It also has a bar with buttons for YouTube, Apple, Amazon, Ebay, and a button for several News sites. I have read that the advertisements are paid by the companies. The few News sites that are there are either paid for by the news companies or are "associates" of Apple but I classify them as "liberal" and I don't need politics on my browser. The browser appearance is slightly dull looking in one sense but the websites that are found seem to have a little more vivid color than other browsers. The box on the browser used to input a word or site to search for is smaller than on other browsers and a little more difficult to manipulate, i.e., more difficult to erase and type in something different. Summing: as a browser, it works as well as others but it is a little different. I see no advantage for me to use it versus Firefox, and after a couple more days, I will probably remove it.

How to send email - from Firefox

Q

Comments (4)

Thanks Raven. Setting up the email helped - so easy and works great. I'm having more trouble with the tabs. I went to tools, options and tabs - but no matter what I choose, I can't get the tabs to stay there. I think I'm not quite clear on using them. I noticed that if I have a webpage open, and I click a link within that webpage, then it opens up the newly linked webpage - and retains the original webpage in a tab. At least I think that's what's happening - am I right? But what I was also hoping to do is if I'm on one webpage - say computer forum - and I don't want to close it - but then I want to go to my AOL mailbox - if I click on my AOl mailbox (or any other bookmarked page) - that new page opens - but I get disconnected from the other page I had opened. Is there a way to keep the former page open as well - until I close it - and have it display as a tab? I'm talking about opening up separate websites - not going from within one page and clicking a link to another. When I was using my AOL browser (which I gather is similar to IE), if I had a page opened - and then opened another - they would both be open. I'm assuming that isn't how firefox is set up by default. In which case, is there a way I can set it up like that? I did do the color tabs (I think I was looking on a link you provided in another thread for some cool add-ons and things for firefox). It's the only plugin or add-on that I got from the beginning bc. I knew I'd like that. Thank you. Lynn.

Kath, glad you got your email back. About Firefox 10.0.2. Is that what you had, or did you update it along with Thunderbird? Wondering what caused your problem. I don't know whether to get the update or not. I'm sure Alex will do well on the test. OJ, I had that same problem with Gmail. I use Yahoo now. There is a definite Love-Hate relationship with our computers. Sue

To uninstall the Yahoo Toolbar from Firefox, go to Tools, then Addons. It should be listed there and you can select Uninstall there.
