Firefox was just updated on my system and now my.yahoo.com won't load as my homepage. Explorer will load it.

The message I get is: The page isn't redirecting properly

Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete. 

   This problem can sometimes be caused by disabling or refusing to accept cookies.

    Try again

If I enter the same link - http://my.yahoo.com in the line at the Explorer browser - the Home Page opens properly.

I guess FF updated meto 44.0.2 - which has caused problems making it unusable for me. How do I go back to the previous version?
