Firefox 9 is default browser. With yahoo as home page, if I load a news item I get nginx error 404. When I switch to IE (which I seldom use) using yahoo homepage the news items are different and they load correctly.

Back at firefox 9, when I get the 404 error, the address in the navigation window will display as news.yahoo.com/xxxx. I change the news. to gma. and voila, it works!

I use microsoft security essentials and ccleaner weekly. I ran Superantispy and ComboFix this AM to no avail. Plugins are weatherbug and bitdefender.
