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.

  • 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.

  • Why did my Yahoo Home Page layout change on Firefox?

    Yahoo home page layout changed on Firefox but it's the same if I use Explorer. Why?

    Reload the webpage while bypassing the cache
    *Hold down the ''Shift'' key and click the ''Reload'' button with a left click.
    *Press ''Ctrl'' + ''F5'' or ''Ctrl'' + ''Shift'' + ''R'' (Windows and Linux)
    *Press ''Command'' + ''Shift'' + ''R'' (Mac)

  • 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 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.

  • 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 did my yahoo mail page change? it goes toASK, why, I don't like it

    When I log on I used to get my yahoo home page, now I get ASK and I have to click on a choice
    of icons. So, when I click on yahoo, everything is different and I don't like it. All I want
    is my former e-mail and home page to return.

    hello ksbrzy, i don't use yahoo mail myself so i don't know if this is a general change. you could go through all the steps described at [[Websites look wrong or appear differently than they should]] to make sure the problem isn't at your end & else contact yahoo's support if you're still having issues with their site
    ''edit: sorry, my original reply was meant for another question.''

  • My home page changed and now I can not print . i need to do this now I have been trying to print since last week fire fox is block

    I can not print from my emails, since my email page changed fire fox is blocking them Please call and fix this I have not been able to print since last week i have business paper work I need to finish I can not spend any more time on this I have also been on the phone yahoo
    <sub>edit: removed personal information for your protection. please note that we cannot offer support via telephone, so please continue in the forum. thanks for your understanding! (philipp)</sub>

    Hi Vicki, you also mentioned your home page changing. If Yahoo is your home page, this is normal as they keep updating things.
    In some cases, if your home page is a specific server address instead of a more general address like
    * http://www.yahoo.com/
    * http://my.yahoo.com/
    * http://mail.yahoo.com/
    then Yahoo will need to redirect your browser to a different server.
    Users have reported on this forum that this can lead to email problems like broken features as well as display glitches.
    To make sure you get the server that Yahoo intends for you, please go to one of the above Yahoo addresses and follow the link to your email. Hopefully this will resolve any problem with the redirection and you can save the new address in place of the old one (home page, bookmark, etc.).
    Also, when you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site. If Yahoo support did not already recommend this, here are the steps:
    (1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
    Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
    Alternately, you also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
    "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
    On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now"
    If you have a large hard drive, this might take a few minutes.
    (2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first). While viewing a page on the site, try either:
    * right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
    * Alt+t (open the classic Tools menu) > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
    In the dialog that opens, you can remove the site's cookies individually.
    Then try reloading the page. Does that 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.
    There are some useful help pages here, for BT Broadband customers only, on my personal website.

  • 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
