Have you tried accessing the website using Internet Explorer, If so did it have any issues loading and viewing the website?<br />
<br />
I would suggest updating Flash and also updating Firefox on the computer you are having issues on. Also you may want to try deleting your browsing data.

Yahoo.com works fine with IE, just not with Firefox (my preferred browser). Have cleaned out the cache many times, does no good. Will try updating Flash right now. I'm running Firefox 3.6.2. Have seen the new Firefox 4 and don't really like it as much, so don't want to move up to that.<br />
<br />
Thanks<br />

Just installed latest Flash... no difference.
</div>


<div>
can you check if Yahoo is in your HOST file ? It could be that is redirecting everything to the wrong IP
</div>


<div>
Then I'll have to download the latest v4.0, won't I?<br />
<br />

</div>


<div>
thanks vguzman - but what and where is HOST file?<br />
<br />

It does seem like the host file may have been changed. Please run this to reset it<br />
<a href="http://support.microsoft.com/kb/972034" rel="ugc">http://support.microsoft.com/kb/972034</a><br />
<br />
After doing that, if it does not show up, please check any add-ons you may be running, disable them, and use the process of elimination. 
</div>


<div>
OK thanks vguzman. My HOSTS file contains just this:<br />
<br />
127.0.0.1 &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; localhost<br />
::1 &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; localhost<br />
<br />
<br />
Thanks<br />

Walrus - how do I check which addons I am running?<br />
<br />
Thanks<br />

<div>
In firefox, it is the orange button in the top left, and then click Add-ons. In Internet explorer, you select tools (the cog wheel) and then click manage add-ons. Also, please check your blocked websites. Go to internet options (start -&gt; run -&gt; &quot;inetcpl.cpl&quot;) or tools -&gt; internet options. Go to security, and click the red circle with the dash. From there, click sites, and make sure nothing yahoo related is listed. Look for yahoo.com, or *.yahoo.com. <br />
<br />
Let me know what you find. 
</div>


<div>
Sorry but I don't see any orange button at the top left
</div>


<div>
@Shawn226<br />
<br />
My mistake, you might have not updated to the latest version. I believe that it would be under tools -&gt; add-ons. Please check both add-ons and plug-ins and disable everything so we can ensure nothing is blocking yahoo from loading.

Yahoo is a messy site anyway ;-)<br />
So, host file is fine like it is (only a question, who normally changes the host file even in a bigger network? I needed that only for hidden servers)<br />
Missing Flash would still show you the yahoo page, but not all (Flash) content.<br />
To stick with the old version will get a problem anyway, because after a time you will not be able to see all new contents in websites (try to open myspace with IE6 or 7 ;-))<br />
The routing table can't be the problem either, otherwise IE couldn't also open Yahoo... Btw, with a wrong entry in the Hosts file, IE wouldn't also be able to open Yahoo. These settings are OS network settings and concern any browser ICMP etc.<br />
Try following:<br />
Go into the network settings, have a look if any proxy settings are activated. I think you have a standalone machine, so set to &quot;no proxy&quot; (even not &quot;IE settings&quot;).<br />
Set &quot;override automatic cache management&quot;, set to something like 300 MB (you can set this back to default again later).<br />
In &quot;general&quot; Java Script and &quot;load images automatically) should be activated.<br />
Deactivate (as others said above) all addons.<br />
Did you install any new antivirus, malware remove, whatevertweaknonsense software short before that problem occured?<br />
If you are connected directly, check the DNS settings (I know, that also would affect IE).<br />
If you're connected through a router, check the DNS settings there (get the correct DNS settings from your ISP)<br />
Open a command window, and try:<br />
ping <a href="http://www.yahoo.com" rel="ugc">www.yahoo.com</a><br />
If you get results ((other than &quot;timeout&quot;), try:<br />
tracert <a href="http://www.yahoo.com" rel="ugc">www.yahoo.com</a><br />
Then you see which way your network takes.<br />
Try to clean IE cache as well, maybe you see only a cached version of yahoo.<br />
Firefox 3.6 download:<br />
<a href="http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html" rel="ugc">http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html</a><br />
But if you reinstall it, I recommend to completely uninstall the current version, delete all folders and clean the registry. Otherwise it doesn't overwrite the old files.<br />
Cheers<br />

.... Here some other ideas:<br />

Btw, just had a user here with a simolat problem, but another website and Firefox 4.<br />
Only white. But when I looked at it, under the address bar was a notification bar which asked to approve a redirection.<br />
Maybe this helps...<br />

Just upgraded to v4 (just the upgrade, I didn't completely uninstall the old version). Still same thing. Going to start reading through this big list of possible things to do.<br />
<br />
I have the feeling it's just some little setting in &nbsp;the Options that ain't right.<br />
<br />
When surfing, I get the following now and then also (but not with IE):<br />
<br />
&quot;Not Acceptable<br />
An appropriate representation of the requested resource could not be found on this server.<br />
<br />
Available variants:<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; tag.php , type application/x-httpd-php &quot;<br />
<br />
Thanks<br />

Hi Shawn,<br />
that's why I said clean out everything of the old installation and registry files. Upgrading keeps the settings, as well as just a reinstall (and that on purpose, because you wouldn't like to always configure your settings after each update).<br />
That sounds like FF just can't connect to the internet, because of a firewall, virus scanner etc, or simply because it's in offline mode.<br />
If the link with the list doesn't help, try to complete clean uninstall as I recommended and then install again.<br />
Of course it's only a small thing, only one tick in the wrong box, it's always something like this ;-)<br />
Cheers<br />
Indi

Well, I just tried disabling all the add-ons, no help. Under &quot;Plug-ins&quot;, found 2 that were associated with Yahoo:<br />
<br />
(1) Yahoo Application State Plugin<br />
(2) Yahoo ActiveX Plugin Bridge<br />
<br />
Disabled them both, still no help.<br />
<br />
Indi, if there is a way to save all my Bookmarks, then I'd have no problem completely UNinstalling Firefox and reinstalling. Do you know if there's a way? <br />
<br />
(I have a lot of important bookmarks and don't want to lose them)<br />
<br />
Thanks<br />

Hey Shawn,<br />
If you want to backup your bookmarks follow these instructions:<br />
1] Open Mozilla Firefox.<br />
2] Click Bookmarks and then Organize Bookmarks.<br />
3] Click Export HTML or Click Import and Backup and then Backup. We suggest Exporting to HTML since all browsers support the ability to easily read these files.<br />
4] Type the filename you wish to save the file as and the destination and then click the Save button.<br />
<br />
Then to restore the backup you created follow these instructions:<br />
1] Open Mozilla Firefox.<br />
2] Click Bookmarks and then Organize Bookmarks.<br />
3] Click Import and Backup.<br />
4] If the file is a JSON file click Restore and choose file. If the file is a .HTM/.HTML file or other browser file click Import HTML and follow the import wizard.<br />

@Moraldk, shawn has updated to FF4 now, there's no more &quot;Organize Bookmarks&quot;, only &quot;Show all Bookmarks&quot; ;-)
</div>


<div>
Thanks to MoraldK and Indi - I exported my bookmarks, then completely uninstalled and reinstalled the new Firefox 4.0 and now Yahoo and everything is fine! I imported my bookmarks back in and I'm good to go.<br />
<br />
Thanks to all<br />

Just a blank white page comes up

Web browsers are applications used primarily to display documents, files and media from the Internet, identified by a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) that can be a page, image, video or other file. Some browsers require the use of add-ons or extensions to safely render the information they receive; others have systems built into them to perform the same functions.
