I had to install Yahoo Toolbar for Mozilla for each user separately.  

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create separate user account in Windows Xp/2000
2. Login and install the Yahoo Toolbar for Mozilla/Firfox with the first account
3. Login again using second account.\
4. Start Firefox application
5. The Yahoo toolbar is missing. 




Anyway to avoid this. I had to install this for each member of my family separately.

It was marked invalid because Firefox already has the feature you requested. Out
of the several options given to resolve a bug invalid is the one that makes the
most sense. The page I linked to in comment 1 explains how to globally install
extensions.

Are good places to check if Firefox has a certain feature.
