Why does the Yahoo finance link only show up sometimes?
Recently when I open or navigate to the Yahoo main page I may or may not see the Yahoo Finance link. Then I have to play the razzle dazzle game to get the Finance link or Finance screen. This started about 2-3 days ago. Sometimes the Finance link is right there where it should be, and sometimes it is a safari to make it appear. Hope you / we can whoop it. Thanks.

I didn't know they customized their headings. That's annoying.
You could consider taking matters into your own hands by bookmarking https://finance.yahoo.com/ and then assigning a keyword to it, such as yf. Then when you type yf in the address bar and press Enter, Firefox will load it directly, no link required.
To assign a keyword to a bookmark, you need to call up its Properties in one of these ways:
- On the Bookmarks Toolbar, right-click the bookmark > Properties
- On the Bookmarks Menu on the classic menu bar, right-click the bookmark > Properties
- On the Bookmarks Menu button (
) drop-down, right-click the bookmark > Properties
- On the "Library" button (
) > Bookmarks > Recently Bookmarked, right-click the bookmark > Properties
In the Properties dialog, type yf in the blank box next to Keyword and click OK to complete the edit.
