My computer was idle for ~1 week. When I restarted, Yahoo had replace
the classic homepage to the beta version. Now, I get a blank page
with "done" in the status line. I can open the homepage in IE7, but
have a pref. for Firefox. Tried upgrading to FF 3.0, disabling
Adblock Plus, reinstalling Flash and Java updates. Have scanned using
AD-Aware, SpyBot S&D and A-squared. Ran CCleaner, cleared private
data and cleared cookies. Reset Comcast modem and D-link router.
My.Yahoo homepage still comes up blank.

Any suggestions?

Works fine here. Try starting FF in safe-mode.

Tried it - homepage still comes up blank with "done" in the status
bar.

Thanks for the suggestion.

Could one of those many software blocking tools be blocking the page?

I was annoyed when Yahoo took away the old page and forced the new page
on me with no warning that the old page was disappearing, but it does
work fine (except for ugly fonts). It uses lots of pop-ups if that
gives any clues.

Try clearing the cache.
Also, you can getthe classic view back.

Have tried clearing the cache - no change.

How do you revert back to "classic" view of hompage. The "switch"
trick no longer works and there are no links on the "new" view page?

TIA

"On July 14, 2008, we will be moving all original My Yahoo! users over
to the new My Yahoo!. At that time, the original My Yahoo! will be
retired and you will no longer be able to access it. Your content and
color theme will be transferred over for you. Don't worry, everything
you love about My Yahoo! is still there."

Whatever they did had no effect on me and I have been using Yahoo for
email for years.
