The "classic" yahoo home page has disappeared on my laptop, and a new version that I don't like is there as my home page. I thought at first it was yahoo.. but this ONLY does this on my laptop, and if I open yahoo in IE, it has the classic look. Not sure what I changed. I did a reset, but no good. Anyone else having this?

I have exactly the same issue. IE V8 works fine. Firefox V19 works fine on my Win 7 64 bit pc. This issue is on my Win XP Home SP3 pc and is driving me crazy.

This occurred after my updating to Firefox 19.

Please give this attention and give us a solution.
