I spend a great deal of time on Yahoo. Lately, in the last week or so, my Firefox broswer (latest version) is extremely slow or won't load Yahoo pages. At first, I thought maybe my ISP's searching bot was being updated but then I started surfing with Internet Explorer and it was working normally.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
As soon as I access yahoo, the slowdown begins almost every time. I check my Internet explorer at the same time and the speed is fine.

Other sites I access with Firefox work at normal speeds.




Actual Results:  
As soon as I access yahoo, the slowdown begins almost every time. I check my Internet explorer at the same time and the speed is fine.

Other sites I access with Firefox work at normal speeds.

Expected Results:  
Same thing keeps happening...

I have tried many different sites on yahoo, including email, and I'm experiencing
problems with every page on that site I've tried to load so far.
