New Yahoo Home Page Looks Awful!

After having an email account with them for years, I am considering deleting it althgether. Today I noticed Yahoo changed its home page, leaving too much up to the user to redesign it with too much of his own personal information. In some places the words on the page overlap with one another. It is too much trouble to search through their groups to find an appropriate one to post a question. Since I use Firefox to access Yahoo, I thought that the moderators or users would know of a solution if there is one since I am inclinded to quit using Yahoo if it cannot provide a presentable home page, which was my default under Firefox.

If you have increased the minimum font size then try the default setting "none" as a (too) high value can cause issues.
*Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced > Minimum Font Size (none)
Make sure that you allow websites to choose their fonts.
*Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced > [X] "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above"
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Changing+fonts+and+colors
Reload web page(s) and bypass the cache.
*Press and hold Shift and left-click the Reload button.
*Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
*Press "Cmd + Shift + R" (MAC)
Clear the cache and the cookies from sites that cause problems.
"Clear the Cache":
*Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Offline Storage (Cache): "Clear Now"
"Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:
*Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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:

My firefox home page looks different from your tutorial

I am trying to learn to use firefox. Sometimes the firefox home page looks different from the one in your tutorial. Fox example, now I am looking above and the "plus sign" symbol to add a new tab is not there. Please advise me. Thank you.

You can find the New Tab button showing as a '+' on the Tab bar.
You can open the Customize window and drag the New Tab button that shows as a plus sign (+) from the Tab bar on another toolbar and it will become a regular toolbar button like the New Tab button that you have in Firefox 3 versions.
If you can't find the New Tab button then click the "Restore Default Set" button in the Customize window.

If you want the New Tab button at the far right end of the Tab bar then place a flexible space to the left of it.

Flash ( Player doesn't work - Yahoo Home Page under Vista

suggestions - have tried turning off Firewall, Spyware, Anti Virus,
UAC, etc - no luck - Thanks

Hello, Since you have uninstalled and reinstalled, the first thing I would do is go to www.adobe.com/software/flash/about. Adobe will tell you if F.P. is installed and what version you have. The next thing, is if it is indeed installed, is go to Tools>manange add ons, find Shockwave Flash Object, hi light it, and on the bottom right you should see "Update Active X". Click on that and when the update is completed, Reboot. Then see if that solves your problem.

Where is my yahoo home page

updated my IPad 4 with iso7.1, lost my yahoo home page, i do have the yahoo page but have to log on every time I go to this page, how do I fix this is is it lost forever?

Sorry, my "myyahoo" page changed after I updated to7.0, but after working with it since posting I think I figured out the new version, I didn't have everything on my homepage as I did before, maybe not a apple thing, I have had my IPad for a little over a year and still think I need to use a home page instead of apps for different things, so maybe this new apple update will force me to use apps when needed. but I think this updated 7.0 has slowed my IPad down. thanks for your return answer.

New BT Home Page

Is anyone else finding the New BT Home Page and most others on the site very very slow to load. I’m using a Mac with OS10.9. Safari, the native browser is what I use mostly but Firefox and Google Chrome are almost as bad. I’m having no problems at all with any other site. I’ve done the usual resets and emptied caches etc. Makes no difference. The BTYahoo site is fine. Has anyone else found this.
I’ve flagged it up on the survey box I keep getting pestered with.

Hi Dode
I have just posted a similar question. And the answer is yes I am having the same problem and I am operating on a iMac
OS X 10.9. It seems to me, looking at your post replies that they are all operating with Microsoft.
From what I have found out BT seem to be more Microsoft friendly than Macintosh. You can't even download "Desk Top Help" because its not Mac supported.

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.

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.
