Firefox sends me to Yahoo and Yahoo is in a foreign language, I guess because I am out of the US. Help!

This is likely due to Yahoo redirecting based on your IP address. Try these steps:

Set Homepage to US Yahoo: Go to Firefox Settings > Home, and set your homepage to us.yahoo.com instead of yahoo.com.

  • -Clear Cookies: In Settings > Privacy & Security > Cookies and Site Data, clear cookies for Yahoo to reset location preferences.
  • -Disable Geolocation: In Settings > Privacy & Security > Permissions, block location access for websites.
  • -Use a VPN: Connect to a US-based VPN to make Yahoo load the US version.

If the issue persists, check for suspicious extensions in Settings > Extensions & Themes and remove any unfamiliar ones.
