Yahoo is my home page. For the past three days when I open Firefox, the page format no longer resembles the normal Yahoo home page. It is unusable. This occurs in Firefox, but not in Chrome or IE.

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
