home page weather display will not update how to fix this?

more options

On my home page, my.Yahoo, I have selected "weather" for one of the displays. In the past this display kept pace with the current day but now it is stuck on a day and will not update to the current day. I have re-booted, terminated FireFox, restarted it, turned the computer off and back on, and the weather still is stuck and will not update.

Chosen solution

A couple more suggestions:

When you have a problem with one particular site, 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 also 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, try either:

  • 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 the site's cookies individually.

Then try reloading the page. Does that help?

I cleared the cache as recommended and the display updated immediately.
