Yahoo coming up in a foreign language
When I open Firefox it automatically opens Yahoo. On many occasions it opens up into a foreign language which is usually Spanish. All may settings are set for English everywhere! So why does this happen? If that is not bad enough, sometimes there is some kind of verification message that must be clicked on (choice of 2 boxes) Since I cannot read it I am not clicking on anything. I have to totally restart my computer to hopefully get things to work normally. I rarely have this problem with the the other browser...the one that comes with the computer. It did happen once.. Thanks..
