[Solved] Yahoo not displaying correctly

[martywd]

That looks like the kind of layout sites would present to mobile devices with a smaller screen. Means yahoo is probably doing something odd with their detection script and presenting a mobile site to a desktop users. Contact yahoo?

Spoofing the user-agent seems to be the workaround at this time.

I have created a post regarding this issue which hopefully you'll can get to from the following link(?) that follows:

Added comments or 'Voting' may get Yahoo!'s attention... to fix this?

I had the same problem. What EVENTUALLY worked for me in the screen https://m.yahoo.com/w/legobpengine/fron ... s&.lang=en, I clicked on the little icon in the upper left (three horizontal lines). That put me into another screen. On the lower left the second to bottom option is "Desktop Version". I clicked on it. But

when I tried it in the morning of the 18th, it gave me an error, but when I tried it again in the afternoon, it worked and the problem was solved.

In the meantime what worked for me immediately was changing the link from https://my.yahoo.com/ to https://my.yahoo.com/?m=pc . That worked, but after I made the change in the PM, that was no longer needed.

I did this as well but none of it worked.

FWIW, it looks like this issue has been resolved for now without the necessity of doing additional user-agent spoofing to get a non-mobile user webpage in Pale Moon for Linux at https://www.yahoo.com .

Now after signing off from my 'Yahoo! Mail' account which automagically and annoyingly and immediately redirects to the https://www.yahoo.com I now see the same 'normal' frontpage of Yahoo! that other desktop users would expect to see.

(Tested in both 64-bit and 32-bit Pale Moon 24.7.2 [Linux])

I noticed a few days ago that with the upgrade to PM for Linux 25.0.0 that this issue has returned on the Linux side. Since this is NOT happening in my Win7 PM 25.0.1 browser, I guess I'll hold off on adding additonal 'Feedback' at yahoo for the moment and check again when a further upgrade to PM4Linux 25.x.x is release?
