Cannot view Yahoo mail in Firefox 26.0

For several months, I have been unable to view any of my Yahoo email accounts in Firefox. I found a thread where a user had trouble with all Yahoo pages, but all of the suggestions for a fix are things I have tried. Uninstalls, reinstalls, clearing caches, safe mode... nothing works.
I can view my emails in IE, but hate to use that browser for obvious reasons. All other Yahoo features work. (News, Weather, My Yahoo, sports, etc.) Someone suggested I switch to Gmail, but aside from not liking Gmail, that would be a heck of a lot of work.

If that doesn't help, and if you haven't already...
When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
(1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
Alternately, you also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now"
If you have a large hard drive, this might take a few minutes.
(2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first). While viewing a page on the site, try either:
* right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
* Alt+t (open the classic Tools menu) > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
In the dialog that opens, you can remove the site's cookies individually.
Then try reloading the page. Does that help?

I cannot view Yahoo mail

I cannot view Yahoo mail using the Imac Mail icon. The message is "map.mail.yahoo.com cannot be contacted on port 993". Yahoo technical support is useless. Any suggesions?

You probably need to reset the settings in your Mail app. Carefully follow the troubleshooting steps in Mail Setup, Troubleshooting etc.. . Instructions

I cannot open Yahoo Mail in Firefox - It works just fine with all other browsers

When I try to open Yahoo Mail in Firefox, it times out.
This happens every single day.
Every once in awhile I get lucky and get in, but again, I have to deal with this issue every single day.
Yes, I've dumped the cookies and Cache
Yes, I've switched to No Proxy
Yes, I go through straight links and not bookmarks
Nothing helps.
Basically, if I want to get into Yahoo Mail, I have to open Google Chrome. Which has me thinking, if I have to open Google Chrome so often, why don't I just switch?
I'm a long time user of Firefox and would prefer to stick with it, but this is the kind of thing that will push me over to using Google Chrome.
Anyone have any other suggestions?

You can remove all data stored in Firefox from a specific domain via "Forget About This Site" in the right-click context menu of an history entry ("History > Show All History" or "View > Sidebar > History") or via the about:permissions page.
Using "Forget About This Site" will remove all data stored in Firefox from that domain like bookmarks, cookies, passwords, cache, history, and exceptions, so be cautious and if you have a password or other data from that domain that you do not want to lose then make sure to backup this data or make a note.
You can't recover from this 'forget' unless you have a backup of the involved files.
It doesn't have any lasting effect, so if you revisit such a 'forgotten' website then data from that website will be saved once again.
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.

Cannot view yahoo mail contacts

I'm having trouble viewing my contacts information in yahoo mail.
Where I should see a frame with all my contacts listed, all I see is a blank area. IE shows the contacts no problem.

Cannot acccess yahoo mail from firefox...Can from IE or chrome

can't get into yahoo mail since yesterday. The circle keeps spinning forever and never connects...I can get in with no problem on IE or Chrome...have not messed with settings, it just happened on minute to the next...Can you help?

that i do not know as i do not know about netopia routers specifically - could be ip address issue, how the address is used, given, cached, you would have to look at the manual, must admit am grasping at straws here , as your post clearly states everything works fine when in other locations...
i would suggest the following:
1) power on and off netopia, see if that helps
2) if you uncheck authentication does that help?
3) check keychain access and see if for some reason you have more than one password for your account there, maybe one that is used for at home and one outside of home? which i doubt, but still worth checking.
4) sounds stupid, but try another wireless router at home - at least it will confirm the problem comes from your current router.
5) go to mail>window>connection doctor, see what error message you get
6) go to system preferences>network, click on "assist me" and then "diagnostics" see if you can pick up some info from that.
finally post on "use Mac OS X v20.5 Leopard" pages and in the "getting online and networking" Leopard pages where there may be other users that have encountered issues with netopia in a similar fashion.
not much specific help i am afraid.

Why don't I see the 'Emoticons' and 'Format' tabs when composing a message in the new Yahoo Mail, using Firefox, but I do when using Internet Explorer?

I have been using the new Yahoo Mail on Firefox. But today I noticed that when I write an email (Compose/Reply/Forward), I cannot format it. Only the 'Attachments' tab is present, but the 'Emoticons' and 'Format' tabs are not.
But when I do it using Internet Explorer, all those tabs are present and I can format and do whatever.
Is there something wrong with my Firefox? I have restarted my computer, I have shut it down, but my Yahoo Mail remains problematic when using Firefox.

Firefox only allows you to save executable files. If you want to add an option to run them you can use the OpenDownload² add-on - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/opendownload-10902

How can I stop Yahoo mail from automatically loading my user id and password when I access Yahoo Mail through Firefox?

When I access Yahoo Mail through Firefox, as soon as Yahoo mail opens, my userid and password have already been entered. I do not want this to happen since other people use this computer. How can I stop this? this does not happen when I access through Internet Explorer.

It looks like your password is stored in the password manager. See [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/make-firefox-remember-usernames-and-passwords?s=remembering+passwords&as=s#w_viewing-and-deleting-passwords Viewing and Deleting passwords]. Moreover, your Firefox version (3.6.18) is outdated. Go to Help < Check for Updates.

HT1430 I cannot get yahoo mail. The message asked for password for yahoo many times.

In order to use Yahoo! Mail, please turn Private Browsing off. Please go to Settings » Safari » Private Browsing, and turn it off
I cannot get yahoo mail nor send email on iPad 3. I have OS 6 just upgraded. It keeps on asking for password. I think my yahoo email was also hacked to compound the problem. Please help.

I get this warning now To. Never saw it in last 5 years and 4 iPhones. Cannot get yahoo small biz email access anymore via iPhone on safari web login because of this same warning. Typically , either yahoo or apple screwed up and changed something that effects millions and think nothing of it. (battery gate in all the iPhone 4/4s comes to mind here)
As you can tell I "used" to be an apple fan but after this iPhone 4s dies (prematureally of course) I will be getting my first android phone and see flash and the rest of the hidden Internet that apple kept from myself the paying customer.

When using yahoo mail on firefox, when replying to emails the first letter has started to not record/appear. not an issue with my clicking, rather firefox recording the letter/digit. this does not appear to be an issue on Safari or Chrome.

first digit typed when replying to an email on yahoo mail on firefox is not appearning. not an issue on safari or chrome browsers.

I believe that our “Werbung problem” adds an additional second hyperlink to the pop-up window. This second link is activated whenever you trigger a saved hyperlink to a Mail.com site.
I had the same problem and eliminated it by deleting all bookmarks, hyperlinks and automatic links that take firefox to a mail.com address. So I just deleted all bookmarks I had saved for mail.com. I also changed my home page link because it also went to my email at mail.com. I then did a warm boot, opened firefox and re-saved my bookmarks and homepage to the desired addresses. Good luck.

Can access Yahoo, but can't open Yahoo Mail in Firefox. Can on Internet explorer.

Can access Yahoo, but Can't open Yahoo Mail in Firefox. Can open Yahoo Mail on Internet Explorer. Checked Password.

PROBLEM: This is the error I get when I simply try to open an email in Firefox. File not found Firefox can't find the file at http://us.mg1.mail.yahoo.com/dc/blank.html?bn=555&.intl=us&.lang=en-US. * Check the file name for capitalization or other typing errors. * Check to see if the file was moved, renamed or deleted.
POSSIBLE SOLUTION:
I contacted Yahoo and they had me clear (1) cookies and (2) cache. This did work so that I can now open the emails in Firefox.
COMMENTS:
Yahoo support said "Please rest assured that Yahoo! Mail is properly working as of this time. It would be best if you contact Mozilla Firefox help support. They have the right tools and knowledge with the settings to access Internet Sites like Yahoo! Mail on Mozilla Firefox browser."
I'd like to know what to do to prevent this in the future because I've had this issue twice now in the last few weeks.

On Yahoo Mail through Firefox, the delete box, flag box, etc. are blank, only the person's email and subject are seen, but I can see it all with Internet explorers Yahoo mail

On Yahoo Mail, through Firefox, when mailbox opens, and I want to delete, the delete button is there, but not boxes below, next to the email I want to delete. Same when I flag an email, the flag is missing. There are blank spots on my mail page. Through Internet Explorer on Yahoo, everything is there, the delete boxes, the attachment symbol, etc.

Cannot access address book contacts in yahoo mail. Firefox 4. Contacts list will not load. With Windows Explorer, no problem.

Recently, yahoo mail upgraded their program. When I try to access my contacts (address book) the contacts list won't load. The little spinning icon just keeps spinning. I think this is a Firefox problem because Internet Explorer works okay. Also, I have problems accessing some secure sites using Firefox 4, but not with Explorer. I prefer Firefox. How can I resolve this?

I have no access to my Yahoo contacts. I cannot search or browse them. The only way I can get ONE is by adding the contact from an email. Then, if I ask to see more contacts either through the partial alphabet buttons or to see the entire list of contacts, I'm back to the same search page where NOTHING happens. Did I say this is VERY frustrating?? HELP

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.
