chroniker Posted June 4, 2005 Posted June 4, 2005 I have yahoo set up as a start page on one of my pc's and ever since I installed Firefox 1.0.4 some of the yahoo tools links are dead. The reason I believe that it is Firefox is because I still have IE and everything still works through it and through other machines that I still have Firefox 1.0.3 on. Has anyone else had/have similar problems? Quote
TweezerMan Posted June 4, 2005 Posted June 4, 2005 I haven't noticed anything like that, but I don't visit the Yahoo site very often. Can you provide a link to a page where the "yahoo tools links" are dead, and say which ones are not working for you in Firefox? Quote
chroniker Posted June 4, 2005 Author Posted June 4, 2005 Any link highlited that is yahoo related is dead. The links that will take me outside of yahoo work. I did install 1.0.4 over 1.0.3 and I've been thinking about reinstalling, I just haven't done it yet. I'm not where I can upload a screen shot but I hope the attachment made it. Quote
borfast Posted June 4, 2005 Posted June 4, 2005 I never noticed anything similar. Try searching Firefox's bugzilla page and see if there's something there. Quote
TweezerMan Posted June 4, 2005 Posted June 4, 2005 All of those links are working for me on Firefox 1.0.4. Most (if not all) of the links you're having trouble with have a domain of 'us.rd.yahoo.com' in the URL. You might see if you have that domain blocked for some reason, such as by ad-blocking software (like the Adblock extension for Firefox). Quote
TCH-Bruce Posted June 4, 2005 Posted June 4, 2005 Yes, the are all working for me too in Firefox 1.0.4 and I also installed over 1.0.3 Could be as David describes above on your system. Quote
TCH-Don Posted June 4, 2005 Posted June 4, 2005 I installed 1.0.4 over 1.0.3 and the yahoo links all work. Quote
carbonize Posted June 6, 2005 Posted June 6, 2005 Sounds like maybe the us.rd.yahoo.com server has been blocked on your system. You will need to check in your HOSTS file as it will be in there that it is blocked. C:/Windows/System32/drivers/etc is (usually) it's location. Just open it in a text editor. ou will probably find an entry like 127.0.0.1 us.rd.yahoo.com simply delete it. Quote
chroniker Posted June 6, 2005 Author Posted June 6, 2005 Got it. The problem was with the extention "Redirect Remover". Thanks for your help. Quote
