just installed chrome and opera browsers ...they behave the same way... yahoo hijack the finance usa link and send me to finance australia..... other yahoo pages work ok ......its only the finance page ..its impossible to go to yahoo finance usa .... without going to finance australia first....then clicking the usa flag.. not a firefox issue ..its yahoo deciding where i should go ...so i decided to go google finance instead. thanks for your effort to get this sorted ..
