This just happened a few days ago - it is as though once the BBC page is put up bt Firefox as my homepage then it is not updated and I can't edit it - for example hit edit on Weather and enter a new postcode. I wonder if I have accidentally done something to "freeze" the page. If I go away from the home page and back it jumps to the new current clock time.
