Like Chrome, users of Internet Explorer will have to follow more or less the same procedure and set their browser to open Yahoo pages.

  • Open the Internet Explorer browser and click the “Tools” (anyone doesn’t see the option ‘Tools’ can press the ‘Alt’ key on the keyboard)
  • From the drop-down menu, click the “Internet Options
  • In the section “Homepage”, you need to enter the Yahoo page web address (this will display in the ‘General’ tab button at the top. Enter additional addresses, such as yahoo.com for Yahoo Search, news.yahoo.com for Yahoo News, shopping.yahoo.com for Yahoo shopping and mail.yahoo.com for Yahoo Mail)
  • Check whether the “Start with homepage” link is selected or not. This option/ link can be located in the “Startup” section of the “General” tab. (Once you are done with this, next time you open the browser it will automatically open up the Yahoo Pages)
  • Select “OK” to keep the updates saved. (This ensures the homepage is set. Whenever the browser opens, Yahoo pages will load subsequently)

For Firefox Users

  • Open the Firefox browser, select the “Open Menu
  • The Firefox settings will display
  • Select the “Options” option (this will take you to another tab)
  • On this page, users will see a “Homepage” field, which must be provided with the particular Yahoo page. This would take the command and load the pages already provided. (The pages are – yahoo.com for Yahoo Search, news.yahoo.com for Yahoo News, shopping.yahoo.com for Yahoo shopping and mail.yahoo.com for Yahoo Mail)
  • What next? Users are required to select “Show my homepage” option from the menu “When Firefox Starts”. When you click the home button, the page will be loaded automatically, and the changes will be saved automatically.

For Microsoft Edge Users

The steps for Edge browser users are –

  • Under the “On Startup” section, users would come across the field “Open a specific page or set of pages Set pages” (follow the procedure as it will give you an option to set specific pages to start when the browser open or starts)
