Why is Firefox continuously defaulting to Yahoo 404 while I'm on a selected site and haven't directed any action?
Whenever I use Firefox and open a selected site (CNN, MSNBC, Sports Illustrated, etc), without any prompting on my part, Firefox defaults to the Yahoo 404 page. I go back to my desired page but an continuously redirected to the 404 page. I have cleared my cache, my history, and even reloaded Firefox (I'm using 6.01) but the results are the same.

I would try the safe mode with extensions disabled.

Check and tell if its working.
In the safe mode, my browser works fine on all of sites it was defaulting on in normal mode.

I've disabled all add-ons and disabled the acceleration and now things seem to work fine. Thanks for the assist!
