Firefox freezes in yahoo mail

Using Firefox 3.6.10/ Whether I am using my windows xp laptop or windows xp desktop, I have this problem.
After I compose a new message, in either of my 4 yahoo accts, and click SEND, it does not go to the page that says 'your message has been sent' like it should. The page stays the same but the "sent" button is greyed out.
Note that I have to refresh the page to be able to go to my SENT folder or anywhere else in Yahoo mail after that. And it does show that the message was sent.
I use the Webmail notifier add on. Luv that program. Dont know if this is what is causing the 'freezing' in my Yahoo mail & on both pc's.
I read in another thread to delete a pluggin "npYState.dll" from yahoo in my program files. This fixed the issue for one day only.
So I am still having issues.
Anything else I can try/ Thanx in advance

The issue is there are a host of compromised certificates and Apple hasn't bothered to update their browser or operating system.
Of course Microsoft, Google and Mozilla all updated theirs, but Apple is dragging their behinds.
The best thing one can do at this point is use another web browser and make sure it's updated and check the plug-in versions as well

If your using Safari, the above plug-in check isn't as accurate on flash, use this one to check

If you use add-ons or extensions, remove them all and replace from fresh sources.

    HI Emmet,
    thanks so much for your posts back. I really appreciate it and yes that does help to know that you could not get it working.
    I did have some success, in removing the SSL Authentication checkbox in the smtp server settings - I found that this allowed my friend to be able to send mail from the mail app via his sbcglobal (yahoo) account.
    So that did help but of course the messages do not have ssl encryption and I'm not sure how big a deal that is for an individual. He is able to receive mail but unless the SSL authentication box is unchecked, he cannot send.
    i hope that helps anyone out there also!
    Thanks also for the tip about sparrow - yes I have heard of it and it is very popular, he may end up using that in the end.    
    Thanks again, much appreciated.

  • Safari Crashing/Freezing with Yahoo Mail

    I think this has already been mentioned but hoping Apple will do something about it if we keep bugging them.
    Safari keeps freezing when I try to attach a file using Yahoo Mail. I have to force quit, even though it doesn't say that Safari's unresponsive.
    Combined with the fact that Safari has also become very slow at loading pages, if they load at all, I've reverted to using Firefox. Thanks for the version 5.0 update, really regret installing it.

    HI,
    I think this has already been mentioned but hoping Apple will do something about it
    It's not Apple's responsibility to update third party software.
    If you have BrowserPlus installed, it's not compatible with Safari 5.

  • How can I get extra scroll bars in Firefox to read Yahoo mail on a small screen, the way Explorer has?

    When I read my Yahoo emails on my little Asus eee pc, I have to use Explorer because it has extra scroll bars that allow me to scroll back and forth to see things that there is no room for on the screen. Firefox doesn't have these scroll bars.

    Hi ncleeno,
    I understand that on a small screen you would like to know how to add scrollbars to the page so that you can read parts of the email that are not on the screen.
    I have not tried this myself, but I think in about:config: In order to change your Firefox Configuration please do the following steps :
    # In the [[Location bar autocomplete|Location bar]], type '''about:config''' and press '''Enter'''. The about:config "''This might void your warranty!''" warning page may appear.
    # Click '''I'll be careful, I promise!''' to continue to the about:config page.
    # Search for scrollbar and I believe layout.testing.overlay-scrollbars.always-visible set to true would put these on.
    dom. disable_window_open_feature.scrollbars is the one that is set to false by default as well that prevents the scrollbars on a popup from being disabled. i am not sure if viewing Yahoo mail is a popup. I do not use it, but I will assume its not.
    Did this help?

  • Windows 7 Firefox 5.0 Yahoo Mail font sizes

    When I change the font size in Yahoo Mail "compose message" the font size on screen always appears as my default 10 point, and I cannot see what I am actually composing. I forwarded a test email to a second Yahoo account of mine and hey presto, the different size fonts were displayed.
    I then forwarded the test email back to my first Yahoo account and the various fonts sizes were displayed. On trying to forward that email on my "forwarded message" reverted to displaying 10 point on my screen.
    I seem to have accidentally sent emails with HUGE text in them as I cannot see what I am actually writing and the font size sometimes changes unnoticed. Any suggestions?

    Try the Firefox SafeMode. <br />
    ''A troubleshooting mode, which disables most Add-ons.'' <br />
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default Theme.)''
    # You can open the Firefox 4/5/6/7 SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    # Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. <br />
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shft key) to open it again.''
    If it is good in the Firefox SafeMode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. <br />

  • When using Firefox -loging to Yahoo mail - see account but then get error page says i have lower resolution than 1024xx600- have new computer and set at 1600x900, cleared out past history etc but does the same - can log in w/chrome but not firefox

    I don't know what else to say

    That can happen if you zoom Yahoo mail websites.<br />
    Yahoo uses a script to check the screen dimensions and zooming a page affects the window and screen width and height settings.
    Reset the page zoom on pages that cause problems.

  • Firefox is freezing my yahoo mail. I have a mac and it runs in Safari.

    After I write an email I cannot send or save the email. Sometimes I can't even cancel and leave the email to start over. I am using a Mac (sowleopard) mainly. Sometimes I use my old pc (XP), and I have the same problem on both computers. I do not have this problem with Safari and really only need firefox for a few things, though I made it my main internet browsing program until now. I can't type a huge email and not have it send.

    So I just got back from vacation and uninstalled firefox. Reinstalled it and I still have the same problem. The odd thing is now it doesn't work in Google Chrome either. So I'm sure it is a Mac problem now. Probably has nothing to do with FireFox and everything to do with being dumb enough to buy a 4000 $ paperweight called mac. What a hunk of junk.
    Thanks for your help.
    I loved that book to.

  • Why is firefox blocking my yahoo mail

    Firefox prevented this page from automatically reloading. I get this every time I go to BT Yahoo. I have tried different things but nothing works.

    I should have asked about the shaking: is this from side to side or vertically? If it's vertical, perhaps your "smooth scrolling" is glitchy. Have you noticed any issues with scrolling? You could try turning off that feature here:
    orange Firefox button ''or'' classic Tools menu > Options > Advanced > General

  • When using Firefox with ATT/Yahoo mail, the contacts list does not display. If I use Windows Explorer with ATT/Yahoo mail, the contacts list works fine.

    No additional details. I just need to know how to solve the problem.

    If you read the article [[Websites look wrong]], does it help any? I would recommend trying each step in that article, restart, test, if it doesn't work, move to the next step.

  • Why does Firefox comsume my computer when in Yahoo Mail

    For the past week, something is effecting Firefox when in Yahoo Mail. It does not happen at any other web site.
    # I do not allow automatic updates of any kind. No changes or additions (unless sneaky stealth attacks?) had been made to Firefox since update to version 12 in May. The only add-on I have is the Mozilla Archive Format, which I've been using for years.
    # Windows and various security applications are up-to-date as of very recently.
    # Several up-to-date anti-malware programs have found nothing on my computer.
    # I tried Chrome and Opera. They do not have this problem, but I don't like either of them.
    # I uninstalled Firefox, deleted everything related I could find, downloaded the current version (13) from Mozilla, installed, and rebuilt all my preferences. I got my bookmarks back by restoring from a bookmark backup. This changed nothing.
    # I tried "Restart With Add-ons Disabled" in Firefox, but that did not help.
    Firefox starts doing something very intensive once in Yahoo Mail. Sometimes it is in this state when it displays the first screen of mail boxes after I sign on. More often I can do a little bit of something, such as open a mail box or a single e-mail therein before the problem starts. From my perspective it starts this aberrant behavior just when I click on the next thing: open another e-mail; open a different mail box; delete an e-mail.
    Normally while in Yahoo Mail, or at any other web site, Task Manager reports CUP usage at from 0% to 5%, occasionally a few percent more for a very brief flash. When this Yahoo Mail thing starts
    # The CPU usage jumps to 25%, with occasional bursts up to 30+%. Task Manger shows it is due to the process firefox.exe*32.
    # The browser will not respond to any controls. I can do nothing with the keyboard or mouse. No menu will open. This has never ended by itself.
    # Task Manager reports the immediate drop of network activity to zero -- nothing going on over the phone line -- or so Windows thinks. Disconnecting the phone line does not release the browser or lower its CPU use.
    # A few times the entire computer has locked. I have only been able to get out of it with the hardware reset button.
    # Sometimes Firefox is totally unresponsive itself but I can cancel it via Task Manager.
    # Sometimes the one and only thing in Firefox that responds is the "X" in the upper right hand corner. The browser screen disappears immediately.
    # BUT, Task Manager shows the process firefox.exe*32 still running at 25% CPU. I can end said process with Task Manager, whereby CPU usage immediately drops to 0%, or somewhere close.
    # Whatever is going on through Firefox prevents me from doing what I want -- and it seems probable that IT is doing something I don't want done, although I have not yet seen symptoms of that.
    Where can I go from here?

    Hi,
    You can consider the [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/reset-firefox-easily-fix-most-problems Reset Firefox] feature via '''Help''' ('''Alt''' + '''H''') > '''Troubleshooting Information'''. If it is okay, you can then install the Mozilla Archive Format add-on.
    If you have security software installed you can try to delete all existing entries for Firefox and its sub processes in the different configuration modules and try to fully trust/allow Firefox afresh. Even after network access is completed, Firefox would still need unlimited access to its disk cache/memory as well as its files. Please see [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Firewalls this].

  • Firefox 5 was working fine and suddenly refused to let me log in to yahoo mail

    I installed the latest version of Firefox. My yahoo mail was working fine but today I am unable to log in. I can log into my Yahoo account but not my mail. I've tried clearing the cookies, then allowing the yahoo cookies, to no avail. I've started and restarted the computer/browser. Yahoo mail works fine on my never-updated version of Safari. Any new ideas on this?

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
