I used the Yahoo home page search. No problem.

Remove History For One Site Open the History Manager <Control><Shift> H. In the search bar, enter the name of the site. Right click on one of the listings and select Forget About This Site. This should remove all information, including any passwords / settings.

No this all didn't help. I don't get this how its just many problems with your browser and never with theirs. If this doesn't get resolved I will revert back to chrome or explorer. Did you people check the file and see EXACTLY what I am talking about??? At the yahoo.com homepage, I type in the search IN YAHOO NOT AT THE SEARCH BAR ABOVE and doesn't work at all just sits there....Won't let me click it. NEVER a problem before.

Well that worked the first time only. Once I do it again and close out the browser and then open it again IT DOESN'T WORK!!! It is an obvious problem with Firefox and what did you people do for this to happen??? It seems like every time it updates there is another problem. So how can you delete out the page automatically each time I close it so when I go back in it will work!!!!

Did you try starting Firefox in Safe Mode? https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode

Do you have any Yahoo add-ons or programs on your system?


Start your Computer in safe mode with networking. Then start Firefox. Try Safe web sites. Is the problem still there?
