I login to my.yahoo which I use as a home page. The page loads and all works well for a period of time and then you click on a URL on the page and it just spins and never delivers requested page. If I leave my.yahoo and select another URL within Firefox, it connects with no issue. If I then go back to my.Yahoo and try a URL again it might load and most of the time closing Firefox and reopening it corrects the problem.

I have had this through several versions of Firefox and it only happens when launching a URL from my.yaoo

thanks

Thanks for the info I tried several of the steps including turning off hardware acceleration and smartblock. Things are looking much better today and I will continue to monitor for rest of the day. If no re-occurrence, I will mark this as solved and close it out

thank you
