SMS in YAHOO mail not working in Firefox

In the drop down box for Yahoo Mail, Compose Message, if I click on SMS, it just turns a little blue and then sits there. Nothing happens. No SMS box, nothing. I was able to freely send and receive SMS messages up until about 3 days ago. It will not work in Mozilla Firefox, no matter what I do. If I go to Internet Explorer, it DOES work. I have the 9.0.1 Firefox version, which I updated to about 2 weeks ago.

Unless Yahoo changed something, which certainly is possible, the suggested approach is the usual:
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:
"3-bar" menu 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 your Yahoo cookies (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"
In the dialog that opens, you can remove your Yahoo cookies without affecting other sites.
Then try reloading the page and logging back in. Any improvement?
To rule out extensions as a possible culprit, could you try the site in Firefox's Safe Mode? That's a standard diagnostic tool to bypass interference by extensions (and some custom settings). More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using either
* "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
* Help menu > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
''Flash and other plugins still run in Safe Mode''
After Firefox closes, a small dialog should display. Click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Reset)
Any difference?
Some users have reported that older bookmarks or home pages do not redirect to the latest Yahoo server correctly. As a workaround, try accessing mail through the home page (www.yahoo.com or att.yahoo.com or whichever one it happens to be).

  • Yahoo mail not working in firefox anymore

    Ever since last week yahoo mail has stopped working in firefox, the page loads but everything I click on doesn't open. I don't know what has changed since then. I upgraded to firefox 28 prior to it and it worked fine for about a week then all of a sudden yahoo stopped. I think it is a yahoo problem because it only works in Chrome now not very well in Safari either but since I use firefox the most I wanted to know if anyone else was having trouble with this as well

    Have you tried to clear the cache or can you try opening in Private Window mode and tell whether it works or not.

  • Yahoo Mail not working in the Mail App

    I have an issue with my mail app on my Mac.  I use my Yahoo email account with it and for some reason now it wont work.  When I go in to the preferenc on Mail and chack the settings of my email Yahoo account, it says that the account is offline. I have removed the account and re-added it again and it's still doing it.  It also does it with my Gmail account as I tried that thinking it may be an issue with my Yahoo details.
    The web versions of both email accounts are working all OK.
    I have spoke to Apple Care who were unable to offer me help with this issue.
    I am trying to find out how to contact Yahoo to ask them, but as yet am finding it hard to do so.
    I am running Mavericks 10.9.2 and Mail 7.2.
    Any advice, would be great.
    Thanks...

    Are you getting a server error?   Try fixing the outgoing and incoming server.  I have had that problem before. 
    I have the same problem right now.  The past solutions are not working. 
    If you find something, let me know.

  • Using MacBook Pro mid 2010 OS X 10.2.1 FF 29, yahoo mail not working.

    This is a new problem, since the last FF upgrade. When I access my yahoo mail account, I can compose or open one message, then cannot continue, a freeze occurs. I have to go back to the mail icon, click on it, and then compose, to write another message. It all works smoothly in Safari. I have searched the posted suggestions and completed all: empty the cache, cookies deleted. All to no success. This problem is now about one week old.

    Restarting in the "safe mode" answered the problem. While in Firefox, go to Help pull-down menu, select Restart with Add-Ons Disabled, then a pop-up box will ask if you want to Restart with add-ons disabled, select that.
    Unfortunately, now all the adds appear during my inbox mail screen and I do believe that was the problem, but I am happy to have control over the mail account again. (This solution was suggested as an answer to someone else and I thought I would try it, because that person complained of the mail account in "Rogers.com" freezing with Firefox.)

  • Yahoo mail not working on iMac

    Yahoo mail works on iPad- worked for two days on iMac now it doesn't work.  I may delete and reinstall.  Is there a way i can install for just new email and not all of my history?  Thanks.  Any and all suggestions will help. Thanks.

    If you delete that account all will be instantly gone from it.
    You can move the current Mails/boxes for that account to another Mailbox you make.
    Without Mail running of course, you could in the Finder Move those folders to a safe place, & theoretically put them back after starting Mail, deleting that account, create the Account, quit Mail, move the folders back.
    But what does Mail's Connection Doctor say?

  • !yahoo mail not working on droid 2 global!

    I tried deleting the account on my droid and then reinstalling it and it won't reinstall. I get the message "Login to the account failed, please try again." I went into yahoo on a laptop changed my password and tried again, still not working... I'm working on wi-fi because I don't get good reception in my home.
    HELP!

    I don't have a droid 2 global (I have a bionic) but I was suffering from the same problems after I received a replacement.  Luckily after suffering for a month (i resorted to using the Yahoo mail app for a while, but I couldnt stand it), I finally fixed mine and I thought I'd share in case it might help you guys.
    1. I went to "My Accounts", clicked on the "Email" option,
    2. Entered in my Yahoo information, unclicked the check that says "automatically configure account"
    3. Under Incoming server, select "IMAP mail server" from the drop down menu, and in the server name, put "imap.mail.yahoo.com"
    4. Under Outgoing server, put "stmp.mail.yahoo.com"
    5. Click OK, and hopefully all of your emails will suddenly work like mine (No more of the "Login to the account failed, please try again")
    This link below helped me out (click the imap tab):

    Good luck! 

  • Yahoo mail not working on iPhone and iPad

    My yahoo mail on my iPhone and iPad has not been working since Wednesday, Sept 7th.  I deleted and re-added the account and it did not make a difference.  Anyone else having this problem?

    Talk to Yahoo. They have been having seeming massive problems with their mail system communicating with mobile devices if these forums are any indication. You can try removing and re-adding the account, but odds are this is not a problem with your phone, it is a problem with Yahoo.

  • Yahoo Mail not working through 3G

    Hi, For some strange reason my Yahoo account is no longer able to send via 3G.. Works fine via wifi. But if wifi is off, or i'm not around a wifi spot, it just sits on trying to send before eventually spitting back a message saying unable to send..
    Works absolutely fine with my other accounts and my exchange account JUST YAHOO it is unable to send.. BUT works fine via wifi ???
    Anyone else having the same issues as me?
    PS looks like i'm unable to receive either..
    As i said account details are all fine, otherwise it wouldn't work via wifi !

    Did not work. Besides it will not allow me to turn off Yahoo SMTP.
    I've already tried the deleting of the account..
    But as i said the weird thing is it works FINE via wifi, just not through 3G
    I guess next step is to wipe the phone. BUT really what i would like to hear from someone is that Yahoo mail is actually working for them via 3G, i want to know if i'm alone in this or if its a problem since the new 3.0.1 update?
    If thats the case, then no point wiping down my phone putting it out of actiion for two hrs and then having to restore everything.

  • Yahoo mail not working on iphone 5 with new upgrade. What going on?

    Iphone 5 yahoo account stop working when the new upgrade came out. What the problem?

    Hello tifftann,
    I'm sorry, I'm a bit unclear what exactly you mean when you say that your Yahoo account "stop[ed] working". If you are having issues sending or receiving from the Yahoo mail account you have configured on your iPhone after a recent iOS update, you may find the troubleshooting steps outlined in the following article helpful:
