Since updating Firefox, the yahoo main page will no longer load correctly. It has become a single column of icons, with some oddly formatted/overlapping text interspersed. Only happens with Firefox, and only happens on yahoo's main page. all sub-pages (groups, email, etc) work fine.

Hi,

Please try a Ctrl + F5 refresh of the page. This helps to bring in the page contents afresh. If the problem persists please check if this happens in a new profile. If it's okay, you can later copy the needed personal data from the old profile. Firefox stores your personal data and settings in another location separate from its files/folder. A new profile would have the default Firefox settings (Tools (Alt + T) > Options, and about:config ), and usually would also be empty of any Extensions and themes (Appearance) in Tools > Add-ons) and their settings. Also, a new profile would have no previous stored website data/settings etc., (Tools > Clear Recent History).

Thank you. Used the "refresh" icon at the top of the page and it never made the difference. The "alt/F5" did the job.
