Yahoo home page

[dingaling]

Hi, I have changed to firefox as advised, but I like the Yahoo home page, but since I changed, whenever the home page comes on it is always the day before news showing, it changes to the correct days news either about mid-day, or if I have shut my pc down a couple of times then it shows up the right date. How can I correct this please? Shirl

lol Shirl .. It can't be the browser. I expect it's a different page you are storing/looking at. Check the pages again and set in Firefox Tools/Options/General "Homepage" again.
Another thing .. try cleaning up everything in Temp Internet File folder and Temp folders.

Firefox is storing the Yahoo page in its cache, and reloading the 'old' version when you revisit the site. You can update the page at any time by clicking the 'Reload' button. (It's the blue circular arrow).

To ensure that Firefox gets rid of the cached version whenever you close the browser, do this:

Go to Tool>Options.

Click on the 'Privacy' tab.

Use the drop-down menu to select 'Use custom settings for history'.

Click to place a tick alongside 'Clear history when Firefox closes'. (Tick anything else you might want to select as well).

Click 'Settings' and place a tick alongside 'Cache'. (Also tick anything else you want to delete when Firefox closes).

Click 'OK' twice.
