i have been using the old yahoo for years and now it seems they changed the layout to resemble google. it sucks. if i wanted googles layout i would use my google email. if i use this term https://mail.yahoo.com/d/settings/1 i get the old yahoo setup screen and then i have to click return to mail and the old screen stays until i either restart the pc or restart fire fox. i do not see in fire fox setting an area that lets me put in a startup term like chrome has that will restart yahoo in the view i like. being that view is still there.

the old view that i like with the blue on both sides 

                                                                                  the new view with the email control tabs to the left and not all show is the right shreen shot or bottom screen shot

To force Firefox to open this specific link upon launch, follow these steps: Click the three horizontal lines (menu) in the top-right corner of Firefox and select Settings. Click on the Home tab in the left sidebar. Find the dropdown menu next to Homepage and new windows. Change it from Firefox Home (Default) to Custom URLs, Paste your preferred link (either https://mail.yahoo.com/b/ or https://yahoo.com) right into the empty address box. Close the settings tab. Firefox saves this automatically.
