We downloaded Firefox today on another computer. All favorites came in. my.yahoo.com came in all jumbled up. We set my.yahoo.com as our home page. Cannot get home page un-jumbled. Tried re-starting and re-loading Firefox. yahoo.com comes in, but can't move things around to what we want. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. This computer is fine.
