Thank you for the suggestion. But I never set any "default engine" (had I done so, it wouldn't have been yahoo) and I can't find any such "config".

Also, the code error causes the same problem with other browsers, pointing to other unrelated files (that aren't yahoo).

From what I have been learning so far, I don't think this is due to any "configuration" at my end. (I don't know if operating system matters, but - in case it does - maybe it's worth considering that I am using linux).

I am not getting any reply from the associatedcontent.com webmaster - and I shall probably give up on the specific case (that, as such, isn't an overwhelming problem, because the other links in the same page are working properly) but I am still interested in the general concept of "why such things happen".

Yes, I think it is. And this leads us back to the fact that software "trying to be intelligent" can be awfully stupid.

Thanks
