Yahoo Mail opens in basic with Firefox and wants me to update. When I update, Firefox won't open any web pages. Once I close Firefox, Yahoo Mail looses its update.

When I open Yahoo Mail in Firefox, it is basic and wants me to update. When I update, Firefox will no longer open web sites. Also, once I close Firefox, Yahoo Mail looses the update and goes back to basic. I am going crazy with this.

Do you have enabled "Resist Fingerprinting" if you check ‘’’Resist Fingerprinting’’’ on the ‘’’about:config’’’ page as this affects the user agent?


’’’Avast AntiTrack’’’ is also known to cause this issue.
