Recently yahoo mail wants me to make them my home page I can not see my email until I close it down or agree. This happens every time, I did make it my home page and the message disappeared changed it back to my old home page and the message pops up. Is it firefox or yahoo causing the problem? and how do I stop it without making Yahoo my home page or changing my email.

Windows 7 latest firefox and yahoo.co.uk Regards

Note that your System Details List shows that you have a user.js file in the profile folder to initialize some prefs on each start of Firefox.

The user.js file is only present if you or other software has created it, so normally it wouldn't be there. you can check its content with a plain text editor if you didn't create this file yourself.

The user.js file is read each time you start Firefox and initializes preferences to the value specified in this file, so preferences set via user.js can only be changed temporarily for the current session.

Delete a possible user.js file and numbered prefs-##.js files and rename (or delete) the prefs.js file to reset all prefs to the default value including prefs set via user.js

If you do not keep changes after a restart or otherwise have problems with preferences, see:
