Hi tlk2012, I think yours is the third problem posted today with Yahoo as the home page. I'll link to the other threads for reference and commiseration, but there isn't a solution in them yet:

You can check the Web Console and Network Monitor for possible reported errors.

You can check the Network Monitor to see if content is blocked or otherwise fails to load.

If necessary use "Ctrl+F5" or "Ctrl+Shift+R" (Mac: Command+Shift+R) to reload the page and bypass the cache to generate a fresh log.
