Firefox weirdness


Since we all use our computers when we access this site, I figure somehow this question is Baja related.
Last week, my homepage (Yahoo) got stuck on June 24, 2010 whenever I open the Firefox browser. The news headlines are from that date, but all the other buttons such as mail and Facebook work fine. When I open IE, the proper date comes up on Yahoo. I have typed "www.yahoo.com" into the Firefox addy thinking that somehow the homepage was goofy but I still get June 24.
Recently Firefox updated itself, maybe a glitch. Anyone else have this issue?

I have used Firefox for some time - have not had your problem. Will check if that is happening and I am just not aware of it. Jim

No problem here.

Hey, I 'fixed' it I think by simply removing all yahoo cookies. Now, if it stays on today's date then maybe not.
