Home page doesn't load on startup
When my wife opens Firefox on our laptop computer her home page doesn't load. Mine works fine, and when I switched her home page to a different site it loaded. Its only when her home page is set to Yahoo news. And when she clicks the home page icon it does load. Have tried deleting and resetting home page.

If there is still a problem, Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link} by holding down the <Shift> (Mac=Options) key, and then starting Firefox.
A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh). Did this help?
While you are in safe mode;
Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration in Firefox. Since this feature was added to Firefox it has gradually improved but there are still a few glitches.

Hello bill137 ,
Just to make sure : Would you please go the 3-bar menu => Options => General Under 'Startup' make sure that 'Restore previous session' is unchecked.
