How to Make Yahoo My Home & Start-Up Page

Yahoo is one of the most popular Web portals. Yahoo users who decide to set the portal as their homepage do so for the convenience of features such as having quick access to search options, news or their email. By default, most Web browsers will be set to display the website of the computer manufacturer or the operating system as the browser's homepage. Resetting your homepage on either Internet Explorer or Firefox to Yahoo only takes a second.
