This weekend my browser wouldn't redirect itself to the
new Foxnews homepage.

I have www.foxnews.com set as my home page and this
weekend they must have made some sort of change because
the new homepage address is www.foxnews.com.edgesuite.net

My browser, when it went to the old address would display
a blank, white page while indicating on the task
bar 'done'.

Am I missing some sort of setting? When I manually type
in the new address, I load the page without problems.

Thanks
