Windows 10 did major updates Fri., 12/4/15, and ever since my Yahoo email page is like a skeleton page with the directions for how page is to be laid out, etc. It's a blank white page with a list down the left-hand side of page: Home, Mail, News, Sports, etc. etc. As you scroll down, you see directions for everything. It is completely unusable in Firefox. I am able to access my normal Yahoo email page in Edge, but not in Firefox, which is what I predominantly use. HELP!

Refresh Firefox {web link} is a LAST RESORT ! !

Refresh Firefox - reset add-ons and settings

If you're having problems with Firefox, refreshing it can help. The refresh feature fixes many issues by restoring Firefox to its default state while saving your essential information like bookmarks, passwords, and open tabs.

If you have problems with current Shockwave Flash plugin versions then check this:

  • see if there are updates for your graphics drive drivers

  • disable protected mode in the Flash plugin (Flash 11.3+ on Windows Vista and later)
