User Agent caused Yahoo email problems

more options

I downloaded User Agent Switcher. I switched to iPhone and visited Yahoo email. Now I can't get email to go back to the original format even after switching User Agent back to default. Using Firefox 29.0.1 on Mac OSX 10.8.5. I had a similar problem with youtube and deleted my youtube cookies which fixed the problem but this has not worked for yahoo.
