It's not yahoos site because others are commenting.

Hi,

After signing into Yahoo, please try a Ctrl + F5 refresh. This helps to bring in the page contents afresh.

Tried all of it, refresh, reinstalled firefox, addons, etc....it works on the IEtab option but not firefox. Has me baffled. Attached is the IE tab option.

Thanks....had me baffled there....was the Yahoo theme, which I would have never thought. Thank You...Micky

You're welcome

I fixed this in AVG Do Not Track. Open it's dialog box. If it's set to block Facebook Open Button, remove that block. Cleared my system right up. I also found it helpful to disable the notify when a new tracker is identified option. If Do Not Block isn't blocking everything, it will annoy you to death by popping up every time you open a new window.
