Problem with Yahoo search infringing trademarks, very disappointed that you moved away from Google.

Google is responsive to trademark infringement complaint for its ADWORDS program. Yahoo's advertising program constantly permits advertisers to infringe trademarks and does not respond to complaints. Reflects really poorly on FireFox, which we used to hold in high regard. All the ads on Yahoo are infringing our trademark and Yahoo legal is not taking action to remove the advertisers.
If $ are at the source of FireFox switch, then your "commitment" to keeping the web open and valid is looking like a sell out switch as well.
Very disappointing, especially having contributed to Mozilla supposed "volunteer". And your file upload doesn't work.

Thank you for your prompt reply and the links to the complaint forms. We've been submitting them for years, so we are quite familiar with the process. Google and Bing are responsive, Yahoo is not!
The problem stems from the fact that FireFox, who we have grown to trust, made Yahoo Search the default search without alerting FireFox users that you have done so, nor did FireFox provide an alert with instructions to revert to Google, should the user so choose.
This is not in keeping with FireFox's open, transparency commitment, which makes it sound like it is $$ driven, rather than mission driven. It's like saying that you care about humanity, and then source products from impoverished areas of the world in the name of $$.
Re: Are the ads the same as those appearing on other browsers, yes, but I thought that FireFox was not like all the other browsers. What happened to your manifesto to do good or better?! ...Yahoo just doesn't deliver on so many levels that it reflects really poorly on FireFox.
We have learned over the years that Google is responsive to intellectual property complaints and takes their position as the leader in global browsing very seriously. Unlike Yahoo. From other comments it looks as though I am not the only one to want Google back.
MOZILLA "The Internet is an integral part of modern life—a key component in education, (isn't FireFox now teaching that manifesto is just lip service and the $ is really the KEY component) communication, collaboration, business, entertainment and society as a whole.
The Internet must enrich the lives of individual human beings OR is the internet used to enrich FireFox and Yahoo at the expense of human beings.
Suggestion: INFORM USERS about Yahoo, INFORM USERS how to revert to Google and make it easy and permanent to revert to Google. Thanks for your consideration.

  • Proxy problem with Yahoo search returned links

    We have two BM servers here. Older one Netware 6 sp5 w/ BM 3.7 sp3 that works well. A replacement that I have had up but not currently using much Netware 6.5 SP8 w/ BM 3.8 sp5. The latter one has a problem with Yahoo search results. If I point a workstation to the older NW6 BM it works fine in Bing, Google & Yahoo. If I point it to the NW6.5 BM then it will work fine in Bing and Google but in Yahoo it will return the results but when you click on any link there I get this message:
    Yahoo!
    Yahoo! - Help
    The requested URL was not found on this server.
    Please check the URL for proper spelling and capitalization. If you're having trouble locating a destination on Yahoo!, try visiting the Yahoo! home page or look through a list of Yahoo!'s online services. Also, you may find what you're looking for if you try searching below.
    Any ideas? I have no access rules enforced. Anything that might be of help would be greatly appreciated.....Thank you!

    1. Verify that you use the same proxy.cfg on both servers and the same
    settings like persistent connections.
    2. Compare both traces, the working one and the non working one. See if
    the returned link from yahoo is the same on both traces and it is coming
    from the same server. You may have another firewall/router up in the
    path causing the issue.
    3. Before taking the lan traces on the netware server using pktscan.nlm,
    unload proxy, load proxy -cc to clear cache. Then take the traces and
    see at what point the non working one differs from the working one.
    check that info is coming from the same up server

    I have an iPod Touch which I've had for almost 4 years, with 32 GB of memory. I am unable to update it, and consequently cannot install any newer apps. I am very disappointed that I spent a lot of $$; now Apple wants me to spend $$ again to get a new one. As I mentioned, I am pretty upset. Does anyone know if there's a work around?

    I suspect you have a 2G iPod. Those can only go to iOS 4.2.1.
    Identifying iPod models
    iPod touch (3rd generation)
    iPod touch (3rd generation) features a 3.5-inch (diagonal) widescreen multi-touch display and 32 GB or 64 GB flash drive. You can browse the web with Safari and watch YouTube videos with Wi-Fi. You can also search, preview, and buy songs from the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store on iPod touch.
    The iPod touch (3rd generation) can be distinguished from iPod touch (2nd generation) by looking at the back of the device. In the text below the engraving, look for the model number. iPod touch (2nd generation) is model A1288, and iPod touch (3rd generation) is model A1318.

  • Problem with Yahoo Messenger for Blackberry 10

    Hi Blackberry Team,
    I've recently encountered a problem with Yahoo Messenger 10.1.0.88 on my Blackberry Q10 running OS 10.1.0.4181 software. It had been working fine for like a month after I purchased this phone from the authorized shop in Thailand until a few days ago it started showing the message within seconds after signed-in: 'Your connectino to the instant messaging provider has been lost. You can wait for the connection to be re-established or close the application and try logging in later'.
    This is only when I'm on 3G cellular network. It works fine through Wi-Fi connection. 
    I did some research on website and found that the latest version of Yahoo Messenger for Blackberry is actually 10.1.1.16 released on Sep 30th, 2013 but, for some unknown reasons, my Blackberry World only shows the '10.1.0.88' (which already installed on my phone) as the latest version. 
    I really need this for work as I'm communicating with international bankers over yahoo. Please help look into this problem and get it fixed at your earliest possible. Thank you.

    I have the same problem with my z10 always unknown error it getting me crazy

    With Yahoo Mail, and anotare account (Inacap Mail), I can only receive mails but I can't send emails. I don't know if this is a problem of the iPad or it is a problem with yahoo mail, because using Gmail and the email of my job I don' have this problem.

    Google them to confirm the settings that you need for the outgoing server, then check the setting you entered on the pad.  Pay real close attention to the outgoing server name, and port.  You may need to change in on the pad. 

  • Problem with ALV search help Dictionary Search Help

    Hello experts
    I have a problem with ALV search help.
    I use DDIC table ZXXX with text table ZXXX_T. I created DDIC search help form table ZXXX. In my WD application, in context on COMPONENTCONTROLLER i set on attribute: 'Input help mode' as 'Dictionary Search Help' and in 'Dictionary Search Help' I pass name of new created DDIC search help.
    I create a input field from that atrribute and search help works fine (there was a value and description for value from text table). So I created ALV witch contains that attribute too.
    Next I set column for this attribute in ALV as editable but on Serch help for this collumn I have only value. I DON'T HAVE TEXT DESCRIPTION FOR VALUE.
    Please help me and tell me what I do wrong?
    Miko

    Hello,
    Thank's for your help. I create DDic Search help for all fields from my ALV. Next I changed 'TYPE' for all ALV fields in COMPONENTCONTROLLER from ZXXX-Zfield to Zfield, and I changed 'Input help mode' from 'Automatic' to 'Dictionary Search Help'. Now I see Value and Description for value in Search Help in my ALV.
    Regards

  • Is anyone having problems with Yahoo mail please ?

    Hi,
    I am having problems with yahoo mail.  I have to log in and out a few times before the inbox will open.  Having eventually got in, it fails to delete. 
    So I'm asking if others are experiencing similar problems please ?
    Best regards,
    dfenceman

    Hi,
    This problem seems intermittent.  It was working OK earlier this morning but now I can't open emails, I'm getting the following error message "We’re sorry, but there appears to be a problem loading the email".
    If I try forwarding the message to an alternative email address, as suggested on the Yahoo community forum, I get this error message "Yahoo Mail is having a problem retrieving the original email for reply or forward."
    Has anyone got a fix, or even a workaround please ?
    Can the mods help with this ?
    Best regards,
    dfenceman

    When I try to add the CARDDAV I get the following error : At This Time Your Contacts Account Can`t Be Added. Please Try Again Later

  • Problems with yahoo mail on Mail

    Hello
    I have configured Mail (Lion ) to get my mails from yahoo mail. It gets all my mails but the gear won't stop moving as if it is receiving mail. I have tried sending mails to myself and I get them, but it won't stop.
    After a while a window opens and asks me for the password, I write it down but then again another window opens and asks for the password again and again.
    I choose cancel and then nothing happens
    And I'm still on the same loop.
    Anyone can give me a suggestion?
    Thank you

    Yahoo Mail has been down for certain times yesterday and also today Tuesday June 19, 2012.
    There is a website called Down for Everyone or Just Me that you can check to see if there is a disruption.
    I have been having problems with Yahoo lately, also.
    They are having so many problems that it is almost not worth using.
    I rely on Road Runner lately.

  • If you have problems with Yahoo, start FF4 in safe mode and see if it works. If yes, you have a problem with one of your add-ons.

    Apparently some of your "good" add-ons do not work right with FF4. If you have a problem with YAHOO MAIL, start FF4 in Safe Mode (Restart with add-ons disabled from the Help menu). Then try your Yahoo again. If everything works, then the problem is with one of your add-ons. You can selectively work out which add-on is the problem. For a lot of these user problems, this should help... worth a try anyway.

    Anything?

Can't believe it's taken this long for apple to respond to this issue and I'm very disappointed that all I did was take precaution from left to my account info and my account has been disabled since. Sad that we can't do any updates to equipment I've spent so much money in. Hope this is resolved real soon.

If there is something you would like to ask - user to user - please do so. Otherwise, you are wasting your time complaining about Apple, since we are not Apple.

    Having the same problem with Adobe Story. Getting a warning that says "Failed to get user preferences, lost the internet connection." Any help would be greatly appreciated. Phone support was useless

  • I am having problems with my ipod syncing all of my videos to my ipod from my itunes playlist, it will only sync about half even though they are all checked

    i am having problems with my ipod syncing all of my videos to my ipod from my itunes playlist, it will only sync about half even though they are all checked

    I assume there is more than ample space remaining on your iPod to hold all the videos?  Are you getting any error messages during the sync process?
    Do all of these videos play okay in iTunes?  Is the sync only checked songs and videos option enabled from under the iPod's Summary tab?
    What other setting do you have enabled from under the iPod's video configuration tab in iTunes?
