Nine times out of ten when I attmpt to access my home page (my.yahoo.com) I get a message saying I am forbidden access to this URL. I also get a 403 error message. Before all this started I was receiving a message saying my home page was an Untrusted Site. I have cleared my cache and all cookies. It didn't help. Internet Explorer functions.

Chosen solution

Clear the cache and the cookies from websites that cause problems.

"Clear the Cache":

  • Firefox/Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"

"Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:

  • Firefox/Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"

If you are using a bookmark then try to go directly to the main Yahoo site (www.yahoo.com) and navigate from there to this page.
