The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information. Note: This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.

To Reset Firefox do the following:

  1. Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
  2. Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
  3. Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
  4. Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.


Further information can be found in the Refresh Firefox - reset add-ons and settings article.

Clear the cache and the cookies from sites that cause problems.

"Clear the Cache":

  • Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"

"Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:

  • Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"

If you use an extension like Ghostery then check the settings for Yahoo and possibly white-list the domain.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).

  • Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.

Does this issue occur on another browser? Have you tried the step provided by cor-el?

Hi..

Same issue is occouring while browsing with Samsung Galaxy S3. On that phone also yahoo.com is not opening while other sites are opening fine.

I did the process which Cor-el Said but the problem is still there.

Thanks Gaurav

If this issue occurs on another device and the same thing is given, then it may not be a Firefox issue, it could be due to your ISP or Yahoo! themselves.

Are both devices using the same router?

You can try to reset (power off/on) the router.
