Yahoo seems to be the problem. Maybe, it's "autodetecting" and thinks
it's running on a mobile device. I fired up Jessie in Virtualbox. I
hadn't run it in several weeks. And the last time I did yahoo
displayed correctly. Loaded www.yahoo.com in iceweasel and it gave me
the mobile page. So, it's not a setting in iceweasel or a cookie, etc.
from previously.
