Hi arnold_martelli, There are a lot of autoplay videos on the homepage which load up simultaneously along with everything else.

Check that your graphics drivers are up to date and take a look at Firefox's performance settings

Alternatively, if you only use Yahoo for your mail account you can go straight to the log in: Yahoo - login
