Go to my yahoo. The search box, profile icon, mail icon, and gear setting display but then are over-written with blue within a second so that none are visible and so inaccessible.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.

  • Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
  • Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window
