3. You're right, Yahoo tool bar
Can't get it to show any book marks. It pops up, but no bookmarks. It used to happen every so often, then I would re-boot and they would come back. Now, that doen't even work, now.

2. I believe that the AT&T Yahoo! browser is just a rebranded version of Firefox
If that's the case, then this might be helpful: http://support.mozilla.com/en-us/kb/Profiles

This issue, in light of the previous issue you asked for help on, seems to point to you being infected with a virus or some piece of malware. You might want to download Malwarebytes and SuperAntiSpyware and run those to see what they find.

4. Can't open up IE or Mozilla either, I've just been using Yahoo, only. It works fine, but
no bookmarks. I guess thats what I get for not "leaving well enough alone."

5. Mozilla is Firefox
Edited on Fri Mar-05-10 04:50 PM by EvolveOrConvolve
Mozilla is simply the formal name for the rendering engine/browser combination. That's why I thought that that link would be helpful for you (since the AT&T Yahoo! browser is built on the Mozilla engine).

8. Oh man, I should have thought of that first!
Sometimes the hardest troubleshooting problems have the simplest fixes. I should've stuck to the old K.I.S.S. principles.

Glad you got it working now. :hi:
