Cannot sign up for .Mac or acces Yahoo! Mail with Firefox unless...

I cannot access my Yahoo! mail account or sign up for .Mac via Firefox 1.5 browser. At the office I have no problem accessing via cable modem. At home via dsl I cannot. Funny thing though, I am able at home via dsl to access these problem sites if I drag my Firefox 1.5 application onto the desktop. If I leave it in the applications folder and launch it via the dock it doesn't work-I dont want it on my desktop as I like to keep it clean and neat. Any suggestions?
G5 sp 1.8 Mac OS X (10.4.3)

Double-check that you only have one copy of Firefox installed on your machine - it almost sounds like you are launching the old version at some times, and the new one at others.
Just for troubleshooting purposes, what happens if you launch Firefox from an alias on your desktop?
Any difference?

Cannot compose or reply using yahoo mail with firefox

I have done everything Yahoo says to do which is FF's solution to my problem, but it does not solve the problem
Yahoo mail works fine with IE & CHROME but with FF 33 & 34 it will not allow me to compose or reply to an email!
And the checkboxes with the icons inside have been there for MANY versions.
Sad that I will have to switch to Chrome or IE

I am suddenly having this problem with not being able to
reply/forward to (certain Gmail conversations).
Now using, Mac OS 10.5.8 and experienced the presence of this issue with Firefox 3.6.10. AND 3.6.13 but not with Beta 4.
I have used Safari and the error is not reproducible. This issue is exclusively present to Gmail in FF.
I can confirm that FF config is presently dom.storage.enabled.
I have started FF in safemode, disabled, updated and enabled all plugins and add-ons, restarted FF and desktop many times, the issue is still present in FF 3.6.10/3.6.13.
Only some conversations cause this error. When I click on particular conversations reply/forward tab, the page freezes and the only way to temporarily resolve this, is to click the refresh icon as F5 will not work.
It does not freeze the whole
FF browser, just the window with Gmail.
I need a fix as FF is my primary browser.
Thanks in advance! :-)

I cannot attach files to my Yahoo mail with Firefox 21. It works fine with IE.

Up till about 3 weeks ago I had no problems. Now when I try to attach any file to my Yahoo mail I get a red triangle saying 1 file cannot be sent. If I go to Explorer it goes right through. I tried all the stuff about deleting the history and cache and everything else but it still doesn't work.

Which security software (firewall, anti-virus) do you have?
Boot the computer in Windows Safe Mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test to see if that helps.
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window or otherwise make changes.

I cannot access my Yahoo mail with Firefox 6.0.2. I get "Bad Request"

I can access my email with Safari. I am unable to access it with Firefox 6.0.2. I have tried several times. I've reloaded Firefox twice to no avail.

Sorry, I had missed that you are on a Mac.
Clear the cache and the cookies from sites that cause problems.
"Clear the Cache":
* Firefox > Preferences > Advanced > Network > Offline Storage (Cache): "Clear Now"
"Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:
* Firefox > Preferences > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
If clearing the cookies doesn't help then it is possible that the file cookies.sqlite that stores the cookies is corrupted.
Rename (or delete) cookies.sqlite (cookies.sqlite.old) and delete cookies.sqlite-journal and cookies.txt, if they exist, in the Firefox Profile Folder in case the file cookies.sqlite got corrupted.

@ Philly
Yes there is,
When you recieve a mail with an attachement (inline or as a picture) right click (or control click) the attachement and choose "show as symbol" or "show fullsize" (or completely or something like that, I don't work in English version). Mail will take this as a general preference.

What is the best way to sandbox Yahoo Mail with Firefox?

I want to create a icon on a users desktop that launchs yahoo mail in it's own instance. (User profile I guess)
Here's the background:
I volunteer with a local seniors citizens organization to provide free computer support to seniors on a limited budget. Many seniors use yahoo becuase it was what they learned to use way back when and don't want to change. It is widely known that yahoo accounts have been subject to a recent spree of hacking using exploits, some of which do not even require a user to click on a link. I have seen firsthand 5 incidents where separate individuals using separate computers have had yahoo accounts hacked.
One of my clients was an ATT customer, thus entitled to phone support. In a recent conversation with ATT support who uses yahoo for their e-mail services, they told me they are aware of the problem and the best solution is to logout of your yahoo account every time you are done using it. This is problematic for Senior Citizens who can't or won't remember passwords, they want it to just work.
I began thinking that there must be a way to protect a user from at least some of these exploits.
My finial idea is to create a desktop icon that will launch an instance of Firefox that is separate from the other websites that a user may be browsing. I think this could be accomplished using user profiles and some command line options.
Any other ideas?
Extensions? I'm thinking of blocking flash and java on that instance too.

hello, first of all please make sure that firefox is up to date (version 20.0.1 at the moment) and that all plugins are updated to the latest version on the systems in question in order to fix known vulnerabilities...
[[Update Firefox to the latest version]]
https://www.mozilla.org/plugincheck/
you are right, you can use the [[Use the Profile Manager to create and remove Firefox profiles|profile manager]] in order to create a dedicated profile and then create a desktop shortcut for it. here are the command-line arguments for firefox.exe that will help you accomplish that: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Command_Line_Options
deactivating java and other plugins that are not necessary for emailing is certainly a good idea too. you could also use an extension like adblock plus together with a filterlist that blocks known malware domains: http://adblockplus.org/en/features

No clickable link in yahoo mail with firefox 9

internet explorer WORKS FINE
but not with firefox 9
don't tell me about the chain hyperlink :Please enter the URL for the link to point to
I JUST WANT TO COPY AND PASTE as i do in internet explorer

FROM CHAT WITH YAHOO
Clark: Okay. We are receiving reports from other users having issues with the Mozilla Firefox such as chat features, etc. However, this only happens on the Mozilla Firefox and not an issue with your account itself as you are not having this issue using other web browsers
Clark: I would suggest that, in the mean time, try to use the Internet Explorer or Google Chrome if you are having issues using the Mozilla Firefox on your Yahoo! Mail page.

After having updated iso 7.1 on my Iphone 4 ,i cannot sign in for Imessage and Facetime

After having updated ios 7.1 on my Iphone 4 ,cannot sign in for imessage and Facetime?

Having the same issue but it seems to be everything - messages, phone, contact, viber. It's made my phone completely useless!! I open it, opens it, doesn't load anything but the white page and then it goes back to the home screen.
I can't even go back to a phone back up as it wont connect to itunes any more - says it needs to be updated - app store has no update for itunes.

Is there an application like "snag it" for mac? Does it come with the Mountain Lion OS, or do I have to buy it separately?

Is there an application like "snag it", which is part of the Microsoft Office suite for mac? Does it come with the Mountain Lion OS, or do I have to buy it separately? If it is a separate purchse, what would you recommend?

Built-in to OS X is the ability to capture an entire screen or selected portions. Snaps are saved to the Desktop by default:
COMMAND-SPACE-3 snaps the entire screen.
COMMAND-SPACE-4 lets you select a portion of the screen to snap.
In your Utilities folder is a utility called Grab that provides similar functionality and more.
Then there are dozens of third-party solutions such as SnapNDrag and SnapzProX. You will find them and others at MacUpdate or CNET Downloads. Most have trial versions or trial times so you can test them out.

In order to take advantage of the iPhone trade in, do I need to have met my upgrade eldigbility date, or do I just need to re-sign up for a new 2 year plan with the new iPhone 6?

In order to take advantage of the iPhone trade in, do I need to have met my upgrade eldigbility date, or do I just need to re-sign up for a new 2 year plan with the new iPhone 6?

thanks, a HUGE suggestion for you: Please add that to the restrictions of the trade-in details online, it mentions that nowhere and is VERY deceptive. Since at least 90% of 5c and 5s users are under a 2 year contract and both phones have been out just a year, there will be a majority of bitter customers who fell for the ad and will be taking advantage of the buy out options the other carriers are offering.

I had just upgraded my OS to the OS X Mavericks. After doing so, I noticed that my MS Outlook for Mac 2011 does not sync with the calendar/contacts/notes, thus, also not sync these info with my iPhone4s anymore. Please help, thank you.

Dear Sirs,
I had just upgraded my OS to the OS X Mavericks. After doing so, I noticed the following changes:
1) My MS Outlook for Mac 2011 does not sync with my Mac book's calendar/contacts/notes.
2) My iPhone4s does not sync with my Mac book's calendar/contacts/notes anymore.
Please help, thank you.
aawwii

Correct, USB local sync was taken away from iphones and ipads with 10.9.1 and 2. We are not allowed to speculate on rumours it might come back in 10.9.3 plus new iTunes. Either wait and see or explore Syncmate 5 beta free trial.
icloud still works.
Cant help with the Outlook problem.

Hi
On your iPhone, go the settings app. Then select Mail, Contacts, Calendars on the left column. On the right column under Accounts select your Yahoo mail account. A popup with show up and then you have to turn the the Notes switch to the off position.
