https://my.yahoo.com/ is not working in FF. it works in chrome and vivaldi so it is a FF problem. Yahoo.com works, yahoo mail works. I have tried safe mode with same results Sometimes I get but not always.


The page isn't redirecting properly Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete. 

   This problem can sometimes be caused by disabling or refusing to accept cookies.

I have run out of ideas. TIA

Clear the Cache and remove the Cookies from websites that cause problems.

"Clear the Cache":

  • Firefox/Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"

"Remove the Cookies" from websites that cause problems.

  • Firefox/Tools > Options > Privacy > "Use custom settings for history" > Cookies: "Show Cookies"

You can reload web page(s) and bypass the cache to refresh possibly outdated or corrupted files.

  • Hold down the Shift key and left-click the Reload button
  • Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
  • Press "Command + Shift + R" (Mac)

Cleared cache and deleted cookie. Still will not connect. Nothing to refresh.

Try to remove the cookies another time and reload web page(s) and bypass the cache to refresh possibly outdated or corrupted files.

Cookie is removed. Can not load or reload. The "connecting" in the tab just goes on and on. Cache has been cleared.

You can remove all data stored in Firefox from a specific domain via "Forget About This Site" in the right-click context menu of an history entry ("History > Show All History" or "View > Sidebar > History") or via the about:permissions page.

Using "Forget About This Site" will remove all data stored in Firefox from that domain like bookmarks, history, cookies, passwords, cache, and exceptions, so be cautious. If you have a password or other data from that domain that you do not want to lose then make sure to backup this data or make a note.

You can't recover from this 'forget' unless you have a backup of the involved files.

If you revisit a 'forgotten' website then data from that website will be saved once again.
