Cannot access my.yahoo.com

Recently my.yahoo.com changed. I can access it on my android browser, but not on FF. FF keeps saying the site is trying to redirect in a way that will never end (or similar). Any idea what to do?

Thanks Mitch

Hey Mitch,

my.yahoo.com loads fine for me. Can you take a look at this and see if it resolves your issue?

You also might want to clear the cookies only for that site. Follow the steps below:

  • Firefox button > Tools > Privacy > Remove individual cookies
  • Remove the yahoo cookies.

Sorry, I was not clear. The problem in on my phone, using FF for android. On my phone I can access the website if I use the stock android browser, or chrome. Not FF though. I have cleared the cache and all data, and uninstalled and reinstalled. Still not working.

Oh, okay.

Can you shoot over your troubleshooting information by going to about:support and clicking copy raw data to clipboard then pasting it here?

This information will list all of your extensions, modified preferences etc.

makman, yes troubleshooting information can be accessed from Firefox for Android by navigating to [about:support]

Here you go, thanks:

It is an issue with Yahoo's website.

I have opened a request with our mobile site compatibility team. They are unable to directly fix the issue. However they will contact the site administrators to request a fix.

Thanks for the reply. Why doesn't this happen with my other mobile browsers?

Mitch

Only Yahoo knows what their server code is. Though it is likely the result of poorly designed user agent sniffing.
