Working for me.


Thanks, Bob.
Just checked. Works in Opera 43, but not Firefox 52.
Doesn't appear to be cookie, flash or ad related. Worked fine
yesterday.

Correction. It was cookies.
Deleted all cookies from yahoo. Logged in, works again.
Opera automatically deletes cookies on exit, so had done the same.

You can configure Firefox 52 to do that too: its on the Privacy config
page, buried under the Settings button on the right of the "Clear history
when Firefox closes" - check this line to turn it on and then use
Selections to pick what stuff you want to have cleared.

I still have Firefox installed, but am now using Pale Moon, a Firefox
fork with a lot of the cruft removed and still using the traditional
Firefox menu structure.
