My.yahoo homepage is not displaying properly all of a sudden in windows 8
I don't think there was a change to my system unless it was a windows 8 update recently but my homepage, my.yahoo.com which I have been using for years is not displaying properly in Firefox oth 17.0 or beta release.
It works fine in chrome and IE on the same system.
Is this a issue with yahoo or Firefox? Any ideas on how to fix?

When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
(1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
(You also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
orange Firefox button or Tools menu > Options > Advanced
On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now")
(2) Remove your yahoo.com cookies (save any pending work first) using either of these. While viewing a page on the site:
- right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
- Alt+t (open the classic Tools menu) > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
Then try reloading the page. Does that help?
