Using Yahoo.com the local news is always defaulted to Denver Colorado. I keep changing it to Tucson AZ, but it goes back to Denver every time I relaunch. I set history to delete when closing Firefox

I have always set my options to delete history when closing Firefox. Lately however when I relaunch firefox (Homepage: Yahoo), when I go to "Local" tab in news I get Denver Colorado. No matter how many times I change it to Tucson Arizona, and tell it that this is my default, the next time I launch Firefox, it goes back to Denver and shows no other recent places. How can I permanently change my Yahoo news 'Local' tab to be Tucson without changing the setting of delete history when closing Firefox?

That's probably an issue with cookies rather than with clearing browsing history. Are you clearing your cookies, too?

If you want to continue clearing your cookies when Firefox closes, look for an extension that will save the cookie for a preference like that one
