I'm using Mozilla Firefox. How do I block the New My Yahoo page from coming up?

Question

I have My Yahoo as my home page. The annoying "New My Yahoo" page comes up, anyway. Then I have to sign in to get to my real home page. I tried blocking the annoying page, but that didn't work. I wonder if the point is to have everyone sign in every time they log on. Microsoft certainly requires this. Any advice is very welcome. I asked Customer Support, but they didn't reply.

Answer 1

Try enabling cookies in your browser to allow them from the Yahoo! site.

When you sign in to Yahoo!, check the box on the login page that says "Keep me signed in for 2 weeks". That way you shouldn't have to sign in so often.

Yes, the point IS to get everybody to sign in every time they log on... it's a security thing.
