Yahoo Finance will not allow me open stories with Firefox
When I go to www.yahoo.com and click on Finance, it takes me a a page showing the stock market results and stories. If I click on any story, nothing happens. I did got to Edge and check it out and the same page works properly. Can you please help. I really don't want to go back to Edge.

Hi mickkassem,
Sorry to hear you are having issues loading yahoos finance stories. When did this issue begin?
Have you tried in Safe Mode? {link} This will disable add-ons you have installed while enabling hardware acceleration.
You could follow the article or follow these steps to restart in Safe Mode:
- Click the '3-bar' menu icon in your Firefox browser
- Click Help(?)
- Click Restartwith Add-ons Disabled... - > Restart
- Choose start in Safe Mode -> Try browsing Yahoos Finance stories
You could also try clearing your recent history if certain websites cannot load.
To do this : Click the library icon -> History -> Clear Recent History Firefox cannot load certain websites {link}
Let me know if this worked.

A good idea. But cleaning history probably will not help.
