My email is yahoo. When I use Firefox I cannot access it. It gets so far and then says 404 Not Found. But I can access it in Explorer. Hence I am no longer using Firefox.

I did what you suggested asnd Cleared the Cache and Removed all Cokkies, but nothing has changed. It still stops at 404 Not Found. I didn't understand the bit about bypass the cache as I can't see anything that says Reload.

Thanks anyway

Firefox 4 uses a combined Stop/Reload/Go button that is positioned at the right end of the location bar.
During the page load process it shows as a Stop button and after the loading has finished the button is changed to a Reload button.
If you type in the location bar then that button becomes a Go button.
Middle-click the Reload button to duplicate the current tab to a new tab.


Are you using a bookmark to go to that page or are you typing the address (URL) in the location bar?
