    I already have news.yahoo.com my Home Page in FF 20.0 General Tab and it works fine.

    How do I get rid of the popup "To make Yahoo your home page drag icon to ...... "?

    Just for grins - do what it says and maybe it'll go away.

    You probably cannot get rid of it because the message is probably coded into the Webpage you are viewing. news.yahoo.com is not yahoo.com, it's a yahoo sub-domain.

    Google does the same thing for me because my homepage is google.com/webhp?complete=0, which disables the google auto-complete in the search box because I dislike auto-complete. But google still throws out the prompt to make google my homepage.

    If you click the "X" or "No" the prompt goes away, your preference is then stored in a cookie, but if delete cookies the prompt will return.

    Steve,

    I tried doing what it says but it changes the start page to yahoo.com not news.yahoo.com.

    Tony,

    You're probably right about the cookie which I delete sometimes. I'll figure which one it is and won't delete it.

    Thank you both,

    Rob
