I Restored my PC but IE7 nor Firefox would restore nor connect.

I Down loaded & installed Firefox 4.0 but it does not give me the old Yahoo Tool Bar NOR the Book Marks in my old Firefox.

How Do I make Firefox with the Yahoo Tool bar my default Browser?

Can you explain what you mean by you restored your PC? Did you run a Windows System Restore? Usually that won't have any direct effect on Firefox (it won't help, but it won't hurt).

Before proceeding further, I recommend backing up your Firefox settings (including Bookmarks) in case something goes wrong. See Backing up your information. (You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder.)

This article describes some solutions when it appears that Bookmarks are gone: Lost Bookmarks | Troubleshooting | Firefox Help.

If you prefer to reinstall Firefox 3.6, you can download it here: http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all-older

You could install Firefox 3.6 over Firefox 4 (many have reported success) or you could uninstall Firefox first. If you uninstall, do not remove your personal data and settings, just the program.

Unless you have installed an incompatible add-on, Firefox 3.6 should pick up where you left off. If there are serious issues, please post back with details.

Note: I haven't actually tried this myself!

Firefox 4 works really well for me (although the fonts can be a little off on Windows 7). Everyone's configuration and needs are different, so some people are going to have a hard time with their add-ons and important sites. Unless you put some energy into troubleshooting, I don't think you can fairly judge whether it sucks.

Hi HMcDuk - I'm really not computer savvy - so can you tell me exactly what you did to reinstall Firefox 3.6 - step by step I'm using Windows 7 - which I also hate. XP was so fun Thanks
