What does the hand icon mean when it has a red line through it?
Example: When I place the cursor on "extended forecast" on one of my selected weather locations on weather portion of Yahoo, a hand with a small red circle with a diagonal line through it appears and will not let me access that feature. It happens on other sites also and will not let me access some things.
