- by Firefox user 12477103, 4 years agoRated 1 out of 5Good tool absolutely useless to me now
was so handy to have the Apps. I CHOSE and to just click on and go now I just deactivated it because of no use to me at all....(don't break what was not broken) - by Firefox user 12476947, 4 years agoRated 1 out of 5Please go back to the previous Toolbar. I lost all of my shortcuts on the toolbar. This is a useless toolbar now.
- by thundervoll, 4 years agoRated 1 out of 5I spent years adding bookmarks that were important to me and now they're completely gone. Where in this new "improvement" is there actual improvement? Is Verizon's goal to completely destroy Yahoo? Because that is exactly what's happening. Read your reviews!!! Change it back!!!
- by DJ-Wolfman09, 4 years agoRated 1 out of 5For everyone complaining they can no longer access their bookmarks I just looked in their FAQ and found out you can access it through My Yahoo by clicking the "Add Content" button and manually adding the bookmark section there, so fret not fellow disgruntled yahoo patrons, your bookmarks are safe. Still, that doesn't excuse this bass ackwards toolbar that you crapped out at us Yahoo! The only thing of use on this stupid toolbar to me is the mail icon, which for me (don't know if for anyone else) doesn't even work, none of the icons work! The freaking search bar still doesn't work!!! Can't add any icons to it (again, maybe for me but I doubt it...) and it just looks out of place on my browser! Yahoo, you screwed up, GET IT FIXED!!! NO ONE CAN USE THIS STEAMING PILE OF FECAL MATTER!!!

- by Firefox user 12476047, 4 years agoRated 1 out of 5This is the most ridiculous upgrade ever. NO way to customize. Then, Yahoo REMOVED the previous 2016 versions from their old versions page forcing this crap on us.
- by Asvin, 4 years agoRated 1 out of 5Is this is what and upgrade is, it is actually downgrading the yahoo toolbar experience..if there was a negative rating I would have given that for ruining the experience of millions of people. After using yahoo toolbar for more than 8 years I uninstalled it recently (like many others ) because you didn't add the features which was so desirable. Though picture looks pretty..it is useless for surfing.
- by burgerman, 4 years agoRated 1 out of 5You Can't add or remove buttons Going back to old toolbar Don't install
- by Firefox user 12472973, 4 years agoRated 1 out of 5this so called update completely messed up my firefox screens opening all kind of new windows, always leaving me at a new window instead of going back to email or wherever i clicked a link from. i couldnt move a tab from one window to the other, it turned my favorite tiles into dots on a screen with screen saver photos. it also disabled my options tabs..i was finally able to disable this extension and am more or less back to normal. if i couldnt have fixed this i would have had to go to chrome exclusively.
- by loner, 4 years agoRated 1 out of 5i have had yahoo toolbar forever. but this new tab thing? i got tabs coming out my ass. goodbye yahoo toolbar.
- by jmnovey07, 4 years agoRated 1 out of 5Why would you update a toolbar that takes away getting to customize the buttons I want to use and give me buttons I have no use for. This sucks. I give you a minus 5 stars.
- by wattsy, 4 years agoRated 1 out of 5Big Thank You to SicilianQueenV followed your instructions worked a treat. I was about to uninstall the useless toolbar Yahoo deem fit to inflict on it's loyal customers. Just hope they see sense and take note of how many customers loyalty they have lost. The toolbar was the best feature of Yahoo.
- by BryanPopp, 4 years agoRated 1 out of 5Really. NO customization! No Favorites! Useless shortcuts (except mail). Get rid of this and go back to the old style, at least it was useful. Shoot yourself in the foot again and again.
- by Billie, 4 years agoRated 1 out of 5This so called is a horrible "Downdate" (I know I just made up a word) not an Update" Worst toolbar Yahoo/Firefox has ever come up with!! Totally useless to me. Lost all my hard worked at bookmarks. (Thankfully they are still there when I do this suggested rollback - for now anyway). I'm reposting the below for mine as well as others use!
Easy FIX for this MISTAKE!!! For Firefox! Rated 1 out of 5 stars

Less than zero for this new toolbar. Please re-post this!
GOING BACK TO THE OLD VERSION, WITH ALL YOUR FAVORITE SITES STILL THERE!
To go back to the old version of Yahoo Toolbar, go to: (copy and paste)
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/yahoo-toolbar-and-new-tab/versions/?page=1#version-3.2.17.20160518035017
I chose
Version 3.2.18.20160725095733
Hit the add to Firefox, and install it, as soon as you restart it, you will have ALL of your old sites, (buttons) that you had before this update, BACK!
VERY IMPORTANT: Go to "Add-ons Manager" and in the upper right corner, you will see the gear sign, (next to the find add-ons search bar) click on the gear sign, and where you see, "Update add-ons automatically" UNCHECK IT. That way it will not update it, the next time you sign on. You will have to check with the other add-ons to see if there are updates for them, since you will now be doing it manually. It is definitely worth it, to have your old toolbar back! Also, when you do sign back on, you will see the "coming soon new yahoo toolbar" Just close it every time. No big deal.
I swear all of your old sites will be back!
RE-POST, RE-POST, RE-POST, THIS PLEASE! - by m411b, 4 years agoRated 1 out of 5Does not allow you to have access to your favorite sites. Doesn't allow you to even edit the buttons. Totally sucks! This is yet again one more reason to dump Yahoo. No matter what you do they force you to update the toolbar to their "New, and Improved" garbage. There are 6 buttons on the toolbar, and 5 of the 6 are useless! Give us the old toolbar back, and come up with a way to stop the forced update. Or lose!

Select Version 3.2.18
Tools>Extensions>(Click on gear)>un-tick>Update Add-ons Automatically - by Videot7, 4 years agoRated 1 out of 5After years of using the toolbar, I have uninstalled after experiencing this version. For some reason, they decided to take over my browser and make it do things differently in ways I did not like, such as opening a new window when I want to tab; or opening a new window if I drag a tab. If it wasn't bad enough that they programmed my book marks out of existence. I have never given anything 1 star. This version deserves it! Goodbye, Yahoo Toolbar!

Tools>Extensions>(Click on gear)>un-tick>Update Add-ons Automatically - by veronica, 4 years agoRated 2 out of 5This is ridiculous!
there is NO options or settings button and no way of changing the toolbar 'add ons' at all.
I liked the previous toolbar better though I miss the Netflix add on!
