BT Yahoo Home Page - advert coming up in wrong pla...

I have a Dell Inspiron N7010 lap top (64 bit) running Windows 7 and Internet Explorer 9. I haven't upgraded to the all new BT Yahoo Beta mail yet. Until recently everything was fine and then a few days ago the advert now comes up in the top left corner of the main part of the BT Home page instead of the box on the right hand side where it is meant to be! Everything else works OK but it is very off putting. I tried using the 64 bit version of Internet Explorer 9 and it works OK except when I go to open e-mails it says Adobe Flash is out of date. When I go to update Adobe Flash (it is offering 10.1 version) I am told it doesn't work on 64 bit!!!
I have thought of uninstalling IE9 and reinstalling it - or maybe the IE8 BT version....
Does anyone have any thoughts about this?
Any ideas gratefully accepted...
STILL LEARNING!!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I thought I'd solved this problem, but after reverting to IE8 yesterday Windows wanted to update to IE9 for 64 bit. I waited until this evening to do it, because I wanted to make sure my Windows Backup had gone through OK (with IE9 it wouldn't complete). Now I am on IE9 for 64 bit and the advert is back in the wrong place!
This is really frustrating
Also, I thought I'd solved the problem of blank calendars on the gadgets platform by turning it off and on again - that is now blank again and turning it off and on again now doesn't work!!!
Doubly frustrated!!!
I just thought I'd let people know what is happening - in case someone might have the same problem or maybe BT can take a look at their home page and tell me what is wrong with it!!! It is only happening on their website!!
STILL LEARNING!!

How do I get back my AT&T Yahoo Home Page and Tool Bar?

I am a senior citizen with little computer knowledge. I cannot cope with changes to my home page because I do not have the knowledge/skills to undo the changes your program has installed.
AT&T is my Internet Service Provider. Firefox is my browser. Right? When I installed the newer version of Firefox it usurped my AT&T Yahoo Home Page and Task Bar. I want my old home page and task bar back.
I used system recovery to go back a couple hrs. prior to when the new Fire Fox was installed and lost Firefox & At&T. Was in a great state of frustration when I couldn't get system recovery up after going to control panel. System recovery finally popped up again and I went forward to after installation of new Fire Fox and have system up again.
I am unable to read up on new Fire Fox program now. All I want is my old AT&T Yahoo Home Page back with their Task Bar. I can learn new Fire Fox as time permits.
For a non-profit organization I find Fire Fox quite aggressive. That is good when mobilizing us to write or call Congress but not to take over my Home Page.
Will have to admit new Fire Fox sure is faster.
I do want to commend you for taking a stand against what Congress is trying to do and also for your non-intrusive, not obnoxious way of asking for donations. You help inform us and let us know of your need and anyone that is not a free loader with a conscience, I think, would make a donation according to what one can afford. Keep up the good work and the good fight..........please do help me restore my home page back to AT&T with the old task bar.
I appreciate all the help you can give me. Please excuse this long note.
Blessings, Helen
Added Note: AT&T home page returned. Still need Tool Bar. Troubleshooting information from Firefox help for Tool Bar below. Also info to restore Refresh and Home icon below.

This is the answer from Firefox Help to get Tool Bar back up:
Why are the menus (File, Edit, View, etc.) missing?
If you're using Windows 7 or Windows Vista, you now have an orange Firefox button that takes the most common functions and puts them in one menu.
To temporarily show the old style menus, just press the Alt key.
To have them shown all the time, right-click on an empty section of the Tab Strip and check Menu Bar in the pop-up menu.
Menu Bar - Win
Pressing the Alt key didn't work for me but the latter instruction did the trick.
Check the Navigation Bar too on the pop-up menu if you want your Refresh and Home Icons to show. It took quite a few right-clicks for me before the pop-up menu I needed came up so keep trying until the right menu comes up.

Why is my iPad suddenly not opening the Yahoo home page? I get a message saying Safari can not open the page due to too many redirects. This started yesterday. I shut my iPad down and still no luck.

Why is my iPad suddenly not opening the Yahoo home page? I get a message saying Safari can not open the page due to too many redirects. This started yesterday, and I have already tried shutting off my iPad.

When I open my safari it will no longer go directly to my yahoo home page, says..Safari cannot open page because too many redirects occurred, Can some one tell me how to fix this, I have tried bookmark but won't open from there.

How do I get news stories I click from my Yahoo home page to open in a new tab?

At one point, whenever I clicked on a news story on my Yahoo home page the story would open in a new tab, leaving the home page unchanged. When I updated Firefox, this feature was eliminated. Is there a way to turn it back on?

Hmm, this isn't a built-in feature of Firefox, but here are a couple possibilities:
(1) Maybe Yahoo has a setting for this, but it is stored in a cookie and the cookie got wiped out somehow?
(2) Maybe one of your add-ons has a setting for this, but the add-on was disabled during the update because it needs to be updated for Firefox 30?
You can check whether any of your extensions are disabled or need updating on the Add-ons page. Either:
* Command+Shift+a
* "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Extensions. The disabled ones appear toward the bottom on a gray background.
To check for extension updates, at the top above the list, click the "gear" button, then Check for Updates.
Anything relevant there?
The "manual" methods for opening a link in a new tab are:
* hold down the Command key while clicking the link
* "middle-click" the link with a mouse scroll wheel
* right-click the link > Open Link in New Tab
If command+click doesn't work, this can indicate that a script attached to the link and is overriding normal Firefox behavior.

I would like to delete this program and go back to yahoo home page.

I just want to delete firefox and go back to my yahoo home page. I cannot understand this program and I cannot get my bookmarks back that have all my bill information.

In order to set up your Yahoo page as your Home Page, refer to this help article on "[https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/How%20to%20set%20the%20home%20page?s=home+page&r=0&as=s How to Set Up a Home Page]".
Not sure how you lost your Bookmarks, but this help article on "[https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Lost%20Bookmarks?s=recovering+bookmarks&r=0&as=s Lost Bookmarks]" may help.

Having trouble with Yahoo home page sign in. Some time it brings up my wife's Yahoo log in instead of my log in how can I fix this?

When I open Firefox it is suppose to take me to my Yahoo home page. But it opens up showing my wifes Yahoo sigh in page in stead of mine. Having trouble with Yahoo home page sign in. Some time it brings up my wife's Yahoo log in instead of my log in how can I fix this?

Did your wife tick the box on the Yahoo sign in page to remember her for two weeks?
It would be best two have two separate Firefox profile folders, one for each of you to prevent such problems.<br />
Then you also do not have problems with deleting or changing bookmarks.

Can't stop Pop up ads on yahoo home page

Hi,
I have 3GS with latest 4.3.3 os. Last couple of days, every time I open yahoo home page (uk.m.yahoo.com) I get pop up ad at bottom of the page. Clicking on the close button only removes it to a tap that appears at edge of screen. If I open the ad to full page and close the ad it doesn't disappear but goes back to sitting at the bottom of the page again. The ad is for the 'green lantern' or 'lynx body spray'. I've been into safari settings and the block pop ups is on. I've cleared history, cookies and cache, Rebooted iPhone but it keeps appearing.
This pop up is really annoying and blocks the view of the bottom of the screen! Never had this problem til couple of days ago. I'm on a data plan so it's not because I'm pay as you go.
Any help would be appreciated as it's driving me nuts!

Update-
If I select an article from yahoo's home page and then use the 'back' button at the top of the articles page, when returning to yahoo's home page the ad dissapears. If I use the iphones 'back' button to return to yahoo's home page then the ad returns!
Not a fix but a work round to not have annouying ads filling bottom of yahoo's home page!

BT Yahoo Home Page access

Now that the Bt Yahoo login has now changed to BT.com I have lost access to my old BT Yahoo home page.
This was a useful home page which was customisable with feeds etc.
Now it just re-directs to the BT.com portal home page instead.
Is there any way I can still get back to my old home page as I had a lot of useful stuff on there.
Yesterday I could log in via Yahoo but today that's been redirected too.
Does this mean that all BT Yahoo people will be booted off Yahoo completely...?

Use
Access your old Yahoo Notepad - e-mail and calendar
Some Yahoo stuff will be moved across, the rest will be deleted.
If you still want Yahoo, they you will have to create a new Yahoo normal account.

Firefox icon disappeared, have to use Internet Explorer to access web sites. Although I can get into Yahoo home page, am unable to open e-mail account.

Turned on computer this am and firefox icon not there. Used Internet Explorer to access web sites. Was able to access my Yahoo home page but not able to open my e-mail account. I am not savvy enough to change settings by myself, so I really need help.
Thank you

Hi--I tried your suggestion and no dice. A window came up with the following:The item 'Firefox.exe' that has this shortcut will no longer work properly. Do you want to delete?
Another window said 'C:Program files (x86) Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe' specified in the target box is not valid. Make sure the path and file name are correct.
I have no clue as to what that means. I did delete the shortcut.
Finally went into our Kaspersky virus protection and found Firefox is in quarantine and that is probably why I am unable to uninstall and reinstall.
Any ideas????
Thanks, Ginny

Why did firefox change yahoo home page. Now different from IE

For some reason the Yahoo home page which I always use has been changed on Firefox. On IE it is the good old home page that I not only like but was used to. I prefer Firefox as my browser but would like the regular Yahoo home page back. Any ideas?

I have the same problem too. I had the same problem about two months ago and someone on here told me what to do. Unfortunately I did not write it down so i don't remember. I've tried, tools-options - advance - general - unchecked use hardware acceleration when available...it did not work. Yahoo main page looks perfect on IE, on Firefox it's a mess. Someone please help.

Can't open Yahoo home page but must put in password

After downloading 4.0 firefox, my yahoo home page will not open. I have to keep putting in password. I've moved "Y" icon to house but to no avail. Tried everything.
Thanks!

Please do the following.
Press CTRL+SHIFT+DEL, change the setting at the top to '''Everything '''and then in the menu below, checkmark "Cache" (uncheck all the others). Then click the "Clear Now" button.
Next go to Tools | Options | Advanced | Network (tab) and in the Offline Storage menu, click the "Clear Now" button.
In the Tools | Options | Advanced | General (tab) menu, uncheck "''Tell websites I do not want to be tracked''" if it's enabled.
Next, go to Tools | Options | Privacy and then click the "Show Cookies" button. Then delete all the Yahoo cookies.
Finally, go to File | Exit and then restart Firefox again.

Yahoo Home page - change to original from optimized format.

With the recent upgrade to 17.01 my Yahoo Home page has changed to the "yahoo optimized?" format. It is so awful, that I am considering changing default browsers!! How do I get rid of it and just use the standard Yahoo format? I clear the cache upon closing and cookies. I suppose I could also clear the flash cookies (have the Yahoo one not being deleted - most others are also cleared upon closing.) Any suggestions?

Many site issues can be caused by corrupt cookies or cache. In order to try to fix these problems, the first step is to clear both cookies and the cache.
Note: ''This will temporarily log you out of all sites you're logged in to.''
To clear cache and cookies do the following:
#Go to Firefox > History > Clear recent history or (if no Firefox button is shown) go to Tools > Clear recent history.
#Under "Time range to clear", select "Everything".
#Now, click the arrow next to Details to toggle the Details list active.
#From the details list, check ''Cache'' and ''Cookies'' and uncheck everything else.
#Now click the ''Clear now'' button.
Further information can be found in the [[Clear your cache, history and other personal information in Firefox]] article.
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!

It may not be a good soloution for a novice, but I have been using hosts files to block unwanted URLs for many years with zero disasters and lots of positive results.
As I noted, whenever I find a new "bad" site, I simply add the name to my hosts file. It takes a few seconds and then it's gone forever. I find no difficulty whatsoever.
No, it's not for everyone, which is why I gave no specific details; but for those who are interested and have the desire to learn about these hosts files, it is a very good way to avoid "bad" websites.
I also enjoy the "clean" view of a webpage when there are no ads showing at all. The page loads faster and the distractions are gone.
I never realized how much junk I am supressing until I got my iPad and saw all those horrid ads that are blocked on my other computers.
Here is a typical result of properly using a hosts file:
