Yahoo Home page - change to original from optimized format.
With the recent upgrade to 17.01 my Yahoo Home page has changed to the "yahoo optimized?" format. It is so awful, that I am considering changing default browsers!! How do I get rid of it and just use the standard Yahoo format? I clear the cache upon closing and cookies. I suppose I could also clear the flash cookies (have the Yahoo one not being deleted - most others are also cleared upon closing.) Any suggestions?

May have resolved the problem after putting it up on Bugzilla yesterday and getting some feedback. Restarted Firefox in "safe mode" and that cleared it up at least for now. This can be done in tools - restart without addons...-- it reverted back to the original version.
Yahoo format changed because of Firefox 20.0 and I hate it so much, that like others, will consider leaving the browser over it.
Many site issues can be caused by corrupt cookies or cache. In order to try to fix these problems, the first step is to clear both cookies and the cache. Note: This will temporarily log you out of all sites you're logged in to. To clear cache and cookies do the following:
- Go to Firefox > History > Clear recent history or (if no Firefox button is shown) go to Tools > Clear recent history.
- Under "Time range to clear", select "Everything".
- Now, click the arrow next to Details to toggle the Details list active.
- From the details list, check Cache and Cookies and uncheck everything else.
- Now click the Clear now button.
Further information can be found in the Clear your cache, history and other personal information in Firefox article.
