Yahoo Toolbar for Windows

User Reviews

• Getting worse all the time!!!!!

  4/10/2015

  Pros

  I used to LOVE this toolbar...... anywhere I opened up my Firefox browser, I had access to my favorite pages..... But now IT SUCKS!!!!

  Cons

  EVER SINCE THE LAST TWO "UPDATES", IT SUCKS!!!!! no matter what I do, my page links disappear, and the default pages come up (surprise, surprise... they are all Yahoo links)

  Summary

  I had to uninstall this old friend....... maybe someday I will try it again.

• Unresponsive and slow

  bobkilmer6/20/2014

  Pros

  Holds potential.

  Cons

  Doesn't realize it.

  Summary

  A Web browser is the worst of all possible application hosts and Yahoo! toolbar makes the absolute worst of it. Interface is very slow to respond; so much so that you can't remember what you were doing. Yahoo! used to specialize in minimalist, functional Web pages but it's been a long time. Very disappointing app.

• Not nearly as good as the previous versions

  alf49074/16/2014

  Pros

  Keeps my bookmarks available across all my computers

  Cons

  Did not keep my previous settings and I had to set it up again. I can not choose my own buttons or names... I have to use what yahoo thinks I should have for buttons and labels which means that I have a few used again.

• NO THANK YOU

  mzqstorm1/27/2014

  Pros

  It's free to use

  Cons

  Not to thrilled with a program that only works when it wants to. It could be that it is incompatible with my add-ons or my themes in firefox, or maybe it doesn't like firefox. Who knows? Or maybe it is just as lame as the new yahoo home page is, that I no longer use. All in all, if it ain't broke then don't try to fix it. BIG THUMBS DOWN ON THIS ONE AND ANYTHING YAHOO!!

• More like a Trojan or Virus than a Toolbar

  Fakezekial10/19/2013

  Pros

  Nothing Good

  Cons

  Installed without me knowing. Took over my browser, changed my home page, loaded a bunch of other stuff. Worst part is: I attempted to completely remove it from my computer, and I can't locate it anymore, but when I open a new browser window "Yahoo! Toolbar" momentarily appears in the tab, so it is still hiding on my machine somewhere.

  Summary

  BEWARE Yahoo! Toolbar

• This is terrible

  GERRY RAINS4/10/2013

  Pros

  Nothing good.

  Cons

  The toolbar has only five icons (I use Firefox)

  Summary

  This is a horrible mistake. Please go back to the old toolbar!!<br /><br /><span class='notifyMsg'> Updated </span>on May 5, 2013<p/>Inaccuracies still plague the toolbar. If you click on their basketball icon, you get good old error 404. Fortunately this can be rectified. All-in-all the smaller icons give the user room to enter more icons and that is certainly for the best and can read them even though I am extremely near-sighted. I'd say it's a change for the better.
