Are they the purple symbols (< and >) on either side of the message (screen shot attached)? If the site is not loading correctly, there are a number of possible causes, but a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site. (1) Bypass Firefox's Cache Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server. Alternately, you can clear Firefox's cache completely using: 3-bar menu button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now" If you have a large hard drive, this might take a few minutes. (2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first). While viewing a page on the site: * right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies" * Alt+t (open the classic Tools menu) > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies" In the dialog that opens, you can remove your Yahoo! cookies individually. Then try reloading the page. Does that help?
