Can't open Yahoo home page

Since updating to 10.4.6 a few days ago, I cannot access yahoo.com with Safari. I'm not even sure the events are related. All other sites work fine & even all other pages on yahoo work fine just yahoo's home page will not load. Safari stalls & displays "Server could not be found". I have also tryed IE with exactly the same results. I am on Earthlink DSL wired direct to my G5 through an Airport Extreme. Also very strange is that I have not updated my other computer (iMac G5) to 10.4.6 yet, it's still on 10.4.3 & is wireless to the Airport but that computer cannot access Yahoo.com either, all other sites work fine. We lost the access at the same time. Is it possible that it is a problem with my ISP? It's been about 5 days since the problem first started. I reset Safari, emptied the cache, cleared the history, deleted the Icon folder; all this did not help. I did "ping" the site & it's there. Any ideas? I've read here of similar problems & folks report that the problem just corrected itself after awhile. Maybe I should just wait & my day will come too.
G5 (1.8) Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Yahoo has just recently changed their homepage, here is one of
the news storiesTaking a peek at the revamped homepageand A look inside the world of search from the people of Yahoo!
I am on Earthlink DSL wired direct to my G5 through an Airport Extreme. Also very strange is that I have not updated my other
computer (iMac G5) to 10.4.6 yet, it's still on 10.4.3 & is wireless
to the Airport but that computer cannot access Yahoo.com either,
Close to what we have for a set up, Elink DSL, w/AEBS wireless iMac intel &
PB Tiger (10.4.6) & Panther10.3.9 w/ ethernet connection , all 3 can
access Yahoo, Did Yangs link work for you, if not perhaps you need to
check your connections, in Network Setting in Sy.Preferences.
The 2 wireless & ethernet computers connected have these settings below.
DNS # values entered in the Network settings->Show:Build-in Ethernet
TCP/IP Tab #s 1st 207.69.188.185/ 2nd # 207.69.188.186.
Same in Show: Airport -> TCP/IP tab on the tab. We have: Configure
IPv6.. ( pill shaped button) set to Automatic
Configure IPv4: Using DHCP, Click the Renew DHCP Lease button click
then click save, sometimes it loses the lease. I do not have a client id #
entered seems not an issue. perhaps it lost it after the updates ?
Good Luck, hope you get into Yahoo.

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.

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

When I left-click the home button, how can it open my home page in a new tab?

I thought it used to do that. I had to do a clean install of Windows, I believe I was only on FF 22 or 23 when this happened. Now I'm on FF 26 and obviously all my settings are gone.
I'm 99% sure that when I left-clicked on my home button, it opened my home page in a new tab. I know I can middle-click to get that affect, but it used to be left-click and I do that automatically now. But I don't want to lose the current window I have up, so something's wrong.
Anyone know how to fix this? Or an add-on to do this?

If you hold down the Ctrl key while left clicking the Home button then the home page opens in a new tab. 
You can also middle-click the home button like you can with any other link

Safari 4 can't open Apple Home Page?

Starting yesterday when Safari 4 top sites page showed me a star on the Apple Home Page thumbnail, I go to www.apple.com and get a "Slow Script" error message telling me that S4 is no longer responding for that reason. What's up with that?

Several times a day I get this message "Safari can’t open the page “http://www.apple.com/” because the server where this page is located isn’t responding."
Is it me, or is there something horrifically wrong with Safari? And before anyone asks, yes, I did restart/update/reload/redownload/delete cache/toss plist/start completely over...
...I've had so much trouble with this computer it's ridiculous. I've wiped it clean and restarted from scratch so many times it's wrong...

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!

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.

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.

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. 
Then you also do not have problems with deleting or changing bookmarks.

Recently my itouch will not fully open articles from the yahoo home page. The article starts to open but as I scroll down the page there are blacked out and whited out sections. Te "reader" option opens the full article.

I can look at the yahoo home page and open the links to articles, but the articles do not fully open unless the reader option is available and I use it. So far this has happened only from yahoo or some links emailed to me. I have done a hard reset but not a restore.

- Double click the home button and close all the apps in the recently used dock. Then power off and then back on the iPod. This frees up memory. The 3G 4G only has 256 MB of memory.
- Next try going to Settings>Safari and Clear Cookies, Data and History
- Have you looked at the previous discussions listed on the right side of this page under the heading "More Like This"?
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Netflix just 'hangs' and won't even open the home page, although if i log in as a guest then I can access it.

Netflix won't even open the home page to let me register and just hangs for ages. I have the same trouble on both safari and firefox but have updated both anyway. I'm guessing this is an 'identity' issue because if I log in as a guest on my own laptop I can open the netflix site, although there are all sorts of parental controls on there that I can't seem to override!
I have un-installed silverlight, tried again but no luck.
I re-installed silverlight. Still no luck
It's not a disaster as I'm still able to watch on my ipad, however it's annoying me and I like a mystery to solve!
any ideas?

A password reset would certainly be a good idea. However, it could be an iCloud issue. If you Mac matches your user password to your Apple password, it could be that when you initially start up, you don't have an internet connection...
Logging in as guest gets you connected, thus being able to authenticate. So when you change it, either make sure it's stored locally, or run some diagnostics on wifi connection upon startup. Out of interest, are you connected at the login screen (top right next to the time will tell you)?

How can I set home page for a new tab? how can i get firefox to open the home page every time i open a new tab in Windows vista home basic??

How can I set home page for a new tab? how can i get firefox to open the home page every time i open a new tab in Windows vista home basic??
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened

Firefox can have multiple home pages if you wish. Each home page that will open when starting Firefox is separated by the "|" character.
See: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/How+to+set+the+home+page
To have new tabs open a specific web site, add one of the following extensions:
