I have Firefox 23 and just reinstalled adobe flash but most of the pages/videos that I try to open from Yahoo (i.e. news articles) won't display. Either it's a blank page or the video won't load on the page. Every other browser (Safari, Chrome) that I've tried works just fine. It would be nice if Firefox stepped up and decided to work.

Hello,

The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information. Note: This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.

To Reset Firefox do the following:

  1. Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
  2. Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
  3. Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
  4. Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.

Further information can be found in the Refresh Firefox - reset add-ons and settings article.

Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!

Thank you.
