Some websites automatically redirect you to a local page. You probably need a special cookie to prevent Yahoo from redirecting if you can make that choice on the yahoo.ca website. Because PB mode doesn't retain cookies this means that you will have to repeat this every time you start a new PB mode session. otherwise you need to use a more specific Yahoo link (https://us.yahoo.com)
