For years My Yahoo was my start page on Mozilla. But when I open 4.0Mozilla, a generic My Yahoo page opens instead, requiring me to log in each time to my original, already-set up My Yahoo. After I do log in to My Yahoo, my original opens properly. At first I thought it was a change in My Yahoo, trying to get me to use their new format. Then I discovered that Google Chrome, which a repair shop had installed on my computer, allows immediate opening of my original My Yahoo page. I want Mozilla to let me have the original My Yahoo page as my automatic starting page, as I used to with the earlier version of Mozilla Firefox. When I indicate to Mozilla that I want it as my start page, it still comes up with the generic form of My Yahoo, demanding log in. What's up and why can Google Chrome do it? Thanks for info.

I am one of those who has recently started having this problem. I am now using Firefox 5.0 and the only change that I am aware of is that I installed Picasa yesterday. I noticed that Norton toolbar had also sneaked onto the scene, but was able to get that turned off to no avail. The Norton folks demonstrated that the problem wasn't theirs by showing that the scenario works just fine if I use (gag) Internet Explorer. The original poster expressed my frustrations perfectly.
