I've used Yahoo Finance on Firefox for years. However, after the latest Firefox update Yahoo Finance shows that I have no portfolios. I know they are in Yahoo Finance because I can access them there through Google Chrome.

Hello,

Try Firefox Safe Mode to see if the problem goes away. Firefox Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode that temporarily turns off hardware acceleration, resets some settings, and disables add-ons (extensions and themes).

If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:

  • Click the menu button New Fx Menu, click Help Help-29 and select Restart with Add-ons Disabled.

If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:

  • On Windows: Hold the Shift key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
  • On Mac: Hold the option key while starting Firefox.
  • On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run firefox -safe-mode
    (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)

When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".

If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, theme, or hardware acceleration. Please follow the steps in the Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems article to find the cause.

To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.

When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help others with the same problem.

The problem apparently solved itself just before I got your welcome reply concerning "safe mode.". Even though Firefox initially had said each day for the past three days "you have no portfolios" (and also today), This afternoon I was able to come back into the portfolio section from a different direction, and all four portfolios magically reappeared. I've been able to repeat this several times, so I assume everything is OK.

Thanks so much for your reply, and I certainly would have tried "safe mode" if the problem hadn't already been solved..
