Firefox crashes whenever a Flash video advertisement opens in Yahoo! Mail. No virus detected. Incompatability?

Whenever I access Yahoo! Mail, the page opens normally. When the Flash Video advertisement starts, about halfway through or sooner, it stops and the entire window freezes. I wait up to two minutes and still nothing happens. I end up having to use Cntrl+Alt+Delete to force it to shut down. After repeating the process several times, I reinstall the most recent version of Adobe Flash Player and try again. No change. Virus scan shows green across the board. I don't know what to do at this point.

  • Firefox crashes when signing out from the "New Improved Yahoo Mail"

    I reluctantly switched to the New Improved Yahoo Mail yesterday, from Yahoo Classic, every time I sign out Firefox crashes and I get an error message. I have filled out the information and selected restart or quit, and another error message says that the report could not be submitted. I resisted converting to the new Yahoo, all their other upgrades did nothing for me.
    Using Firefox on a Mac Book Pro, Hughes net satellite internet connection.

    I have exactly the same issue. Reluctantly switched to New Yahoo Mail, downloaded latest firefox as of 13 Sep 2011 and every time I try and sign out of Yahoo it crashes. I'm also using a Mac Book Pro. Is there a fix yet?

  • Firefox crashes when using Flash video (and Chrome does too); having uninstalled Flash, it won't reinstall

    Going to youtube crashes my browser; going to youtube with noscript on, and allowing the videos, does the same - as does using google talk's built-in video chat. I assumed something was wrong with Flash, but checking via about:crashes gives me nothing. I downloaded the flash uninstaller from adobe's website but now, when I try to get flash again, the program crashes. Maybe something's wrong with my PC, not with Firefox...but I simply have no idea.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == this morning I started up my computer after a supposed crash (although I suspect it was the Vista automatic updater/restarter cropping up while I was asleep). Skype's exe was corrupted and I had to reinstall; then FF wouldn't work with flash.

    As it turns out, Skype also crashes if I try to use video - so I'm forced to confront the possibility that the problem is actually with my PC, or the updates windows has just installed.

  • How can I fix Firefox crashing whenever I have many tabs open?

    I will try to keep this short. I used to be a long time Firefox user...like since it was first released. I have always had issues with it crashing when having many tabs open. I couldn't take it anymore and jumped ship. After a brief period using Chrome I decided to install version 31 and try it out again.
    I still have the same exact issues. The issue has persisted across multiple computer builds with increasing power and memory.
    Currently I am running an i7 4770k with 32GB of RAM and a GTX 770, SSDs, etc. I just installed Firefox yesterday after getting fed up with Chrome and some of its issues. Firefox has crashed about 6-10 times since then.
    I am a heavy browser. I normally build up tons of open tabs, upwards of 100+ open tabs at once (maybe more, I've never counted). I understand that this can use a lot of memory, but I have a ton of memory. My system utilization does not go above 30% ever, yet Firefox consistently crashes. I'm actually a bit surprised, it seems worse now than it ever has in the past. It crashes, I restore, and it will crash again within 5 minutes. I have no add-ons installed. I had Ad Block Plus installed briefly but I uninstalled that once these crashes started.
    This is Firefox, no add-ons no extras, nothing else to alter its performance. It crashes constantly. This may just be the final attempt before I go searching elsewhere.

    I tried to do as you instructed but I don't see any of my recent crashes in there. There are some older ones I see, perhaps from a previous install? There is nothing for the crashes I've had the past day or two. I don't normally submit crash reports though anymore. I can try to recreate the problem and submit one soon if that helps?

  • My safari crashes each time i open my yahoo mail. this is very frustrating. what should i do?

    my safari crashes each time i open my yahoo mail. this is very frustrating. what should i do?

    Same here :-(
    Safari works fine for all sites but as soon as I login to mail.yahoo.com and enter my login/password then I get the spinnig color wheel. Force quit is the only way out. I beleive my Mail Yahoo was working fine last month (started having this issue a couple weeks ago).
    I am using Safari Version 5.1.1 (7534.51.22) and have normal plugins (quick time, divx, google earth, iphotophotocast, java, shockwave)

  • I cannot open my Yahoo Mail but everything else is OK.  When I click Yahoo Mail Icon, I get this error message "Safari Cannot open this page.  Safari can not establish secure connection with Yahoo Mail.

    I cannot open my Yahoo Mail but everything else is OK.  When I click Yahoo Mail Icon, I get this error message "Safari Cannot open this page.  Safari can not establish secure connection with Yahoo Mail.

    It sounds as though a script on the site, or an advertisement, is not working quite right...
    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.
    (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")
    (2) Remove the site's cookies using either of these. Save any pending work first.
    While viewing a page on the site:
    * right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
    * Alt+t (open the classic Tools menu) > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
    Then try reloading the page. Does that help?

  • When I open my Yahoo mail account, it comes up with lines between every entry. When I try to send a new message, the dialogue box is incomplete. The tool bar above the message box is empty so I cannot change the font or font size, etc.

    This problem does not occur when I open my Yahoo mail account in Internet Explorer.
    Because of it, I cannot use Firefox to access my Yahoo mail.

    See:
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Website_colors_are_wrong
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Websites_look_wrong
    * "Clear the Cache": Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Offline Storage (Cache): "Clear Now"
    * "Remove the Cookies" from sites that cause problems: Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • After opening my yahoo mail window, I keep getting a very narrow dialogue box with the words "log into Xmarks" I cannot ... and everything is frozen. How can I get rid of this thing, and what is it? I have to hit CNTRL + ALT + ESC to get rid of it.

    After opening my yahoo mail window, I keep getting a very short and narrow dialogue box with the words "log into Xmarks" I cannot ... when it pops up, always upper left of my laptop screen and I try to get into my yahoo mail web page, I get a DING sound and cannot enter it ... everything is frozen. I have to hit CNTRL + ALT + ESC to get rid of it - and then reload my Firefox browser to get back to my yahoo e-mail page ... fortunately for me, Firefox re-stores a previous session ... How can I get rid of this intrusive thing, and what is it? Thanks in advance ... Ted Beaudoin, Welland, ON, Canada

  • I cannot open my e.mails in virgin media. This is a recent problem only. They used to open ok. I can open them with explorer and I can open my Yahoo mail ok. Feels like a config. problem, any suggestione ?

    Firefox is my browser. Until recently, I was able to open my virgin e.mails ok. Now I can't. I haven't made any setting changes. I can open my Yahoo mail ok, just not my virgin mail. Virgin tell me its a browser (incompatibility) problem. I can open my Virgin mail if I use Internet Explorer. I can get to my Virgin mail page ok, I can see I have mail etc., it just won't let me open that mail. All I get to see is the title of the mail but no content.

    when I open my e mails on Safe-mail with Firefox I cannot open my HTML messages. It just comes as a blank page and says new tab at the top of the screen. I dont have this problem if I use Internet Explorer, but I much prefer to use Firefox and it is a nuisance having to use Internet Explorer just to open my HTML messages, and I get an awful lot of them.
    Can you help solve this problem please?

  • When I try to open my Yahoo mail in safari, I get a message which states:" In order to use Yahoo mail, please turn Private Browsing off. Please go to Settings Safari Private Browsing, and turn off" The problem is my ipad does not a Private Browsing switch

    When I try to open my Yahoo mail in safari, I get a message which states:" In order to use Yahoo mail, please turn Private Browsing off. Please go to Settings>Safari>Private Browsing, and turn off" The problem is, my ipad does not a Private Browsing switchat this location.

    With iOS 7 on the iPad, you turn Private  Browsing on and off by tapping the URL field.  The screen that  opens up has your bookmarks on it.  In the bottom left corner is a hot button marked 'PRIVATE'.  Tap on the word 'PRIVATE' to turn private browsing on or off.  Yeah, there aren't any instructions anywhere that I can find to do this, and if you follow Yahoo's instructions, they don't work.  This doesn't happen with the previous Apple OS, and you can restore your iPad to the older OS.

    What "child lock" are you talking about?
    Do you mean you set up a Managed account (Parental Controls), or some other software?
    For Parental Controls, select the account in Users & Groups and uncheck the "Enable parental controls" checkbox.
