Why does my Yahoo come up in a language other than English after I sign in?

Answer 1

I'm in the US, FF is set to English, but Yahoo is displaying a page over the main page in Spanish that I can't get out of unless click an option (in Spanish).

everything else in FF is in English.

What is Yahoo doing?

Answer 2

Yahoo is doing the Microsoft thing. Its being clever and helping you when you don't want to be helped.

It noticed that you are connecting from a location where the dominant language is X. So it presents itself in language X. Helpfully. That you don't want it to be presented in language X is beside the point. Its being helpful. Very helpful. Just like Microsoft products that correct things you don't want corrected.

It happened to me. I got Swahili when I logged in from Tanzania. Useful. I can't speak three words of Swahili.
