I click on a yahoo news item in firefox and I get bad syntax on top of page. Chrome works perfectly. What is going with Firefox? I also had a problem with Adobe flash drive which was solved with the help of Mozilla by load an earlier flash download that was finally provided. Why all these problems that never occurred in the past? HOW DO I GET FOXFIRE TO DOWNLOAD YAHOO NEWS PAGES CONSISTENTLY WITHOUT GETTING BAD SYNTAX?

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:


  1. Go to Firefox > History > Clear recent history or (if no Firefox button is shown) go to Tools > Clear recent history.
  2. Under "Time range to clear", select "Everything".
  3. Now, click the arrow next to Details to toggle the Details list active.
  4. From the details list, check Cache and Cookies and uncheck everything else.
  5. Now click the Clear now button.

Further information can be found in the Clear your cache, history and other personal information in Firefox article.
