I have a shortcut icon set to connect to my Yahoo home page using Firefox. When I shut down the day before yesterday it was working fine. Yesterday afternoon when I tried to connect I got a message "waiting for my.yahoo.com", and sometimes a message comes up that Yahoo engineers are working on the problem. I can connect and sign in to my Yahoo!Mail thru the Mail icon on the toolbar.

"Clear the Cache":

  • Firefox/Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"

"Remove the Cookies" from websites that cause problems.

  • Firefox/Tools > Options > Privacy > "Use custom settings for history" > Cookies: "Show Cookies"

You may have to repeat clearing the Yahoo cookies if it isn't working the first time. --- You can reload web page(s) and bypass the cache to refresh possibly outdated or corrupted files.
