Why does Firefox 35 take over 1 minute to access yahoo.com and specifically its mail?
I have my yahoo.com email as my default/start up address when activating Firefox. Since I installed Firefox 35 on my Macbook Pro, it takes over 1 minute to load this screen. Moreover, it takes over 1 minute if I try to simply load the base page, yahoo.com. Suggestions are appreciated.

Hi xisthenew,
It could be that there are a large number of visit records to that site. Sometimes clearing the cache of the site and resetting the homepage can reset the performance of the page load.
Try this:
- Go to about:permissions
- search for all entries of yahoo
- Click "Forget this Site"
- Restart Firefox
- Reset your homepage by deleting the saved pages from Options > General > homepage
- And refresh the bookmarks by click on them in new windows.
I hope this helps.
Try to disable IPv6 (check for other possible causes as well).
I want to express gratitude to the answers. Ironically, the very next time I used the program, it worked as before. And it has worked with normal load times ever since.
So, on my end, it is resolved.
Thank you!
