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.

A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh). Is the problem still there?

Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration in Firefox. Since this feature was added to Firefox it has gradually improved but there are still a few glitches.

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.
