Maybe yahoo doesn't like us?
I completely purged iceweasel, its configs as well as mozilla's, etc., etc. Reinstalled, etc. Still no joy. I think Yahoo's server "sees" Linux and thinks it must be a mobile device and switches automatically "to improve your Yahoo experience." Right. Big improvement. Well, maybe. I don't use Yahoo anymore. Beginning to like not using it. ;-) What I'd really like to know is why ONLY iceweasel and firefox are affected. Google-Chrome isn't. Probably not Opera, but I haven't checked. Haven't gotten around to installing it. I figured one backup browser was enough. ;-) B -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
