Suddenly, I can't login to yahoo email using Firefox on windows 7

I load Firefox on windows 7 and go to Yahoo. I get to the sign in page for email and it lets me enter my account and password but the program won't go any further. I can't access Yahoo email at all. It works on Safari.

You can try basic steps like these in case of issues with web pages:
Reload web page(s) and bypass the cache to refresh possibly outdated or corrupted files.
*Hold down the Shift key and left-click the Reload button
*Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
*Press "Command + Shift + R" (Mac)
Clear the cache and the cookies from websites that cause problems.
"Clear the Cache":
*Firefox/Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"
"Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:
*Firefox/Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Safe+Mode
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
Note that your System Details List shows that you have a user.js file in the profile folder to initialize some prefs on each start of Firefox.
The user.js file is only present if you or other software has created it, so normally it wouldn't be there.
You may want to check its content with a plain text editor if you didn't create this file yourself.
The user.js file is read each time you start Firefox and initializes preferences to the value specified in this file, so involved preferences can only be changed temporarily for the current session.
Rename or delete the prefs.js file and possible numbered prefs-##.js files and a possible user.js file to reset all prefs to the default value.

HOW DO I EMBED IMAGES IN AT&T/YAHOO EMAILS USING FIREFOX?

WHEN USING INTERNET EXPLORER FOR AOL OR YAHOO EMAILS YOU CAN COPY UMAGES AND OR TEXT FROM WHEREEVER AND PASTE IN ON THE EMAIL YOU ARE COMPOSING. WHEN I TRY AN EMAIL IN FIREFOX FOR YAHOO I WILL COPY IMAGES BUT WHEN I RIGHT CLICK THE MOUSE TO PASTE YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED THIS FUNCTION AS THE WORD PASTE IN THE DROPDOWN WINDOW IS LIGHTLY SHADED AND YOU CANNOT CLICK THIS OPTION

You could simply use the Command-+ and Command-- (minus) to zoom the image up and down in the window. Else, you'd need to secondary-click, save the image as a file, and open it in Preview, etc.

Can send but not retrieve emails using Thunderbird and Windows 8.1

Hi, I am not able to get Thunderbird to retrieve emails on a new laptop.
Last week I purchased a new laptop due to an imminent hard disk failure on my old laptop. I will call them "Old" and "New" laptops. (Old laptop is still working for the moment...)
The Old laptop is nearly 3 years old, and I have been using Thunderbird on it since new without any problems.
I have downloaded and installed Thunderbird on the New laptop, and can not get it to retrieve emails.
As the Old laptop is still working (at the moment), I am able to directly visually compare and check settings on both computers.
THE PROBLEM
Using Thunderbird on the New laptop, I am able to send emails, I can see all my old emails restored from the Old laptop using Mozbackup, but clicking Get Mail on the New laptop does not retrieve new
emails.
When I click Get Mail, the status message in the bottom left corner says "connected to .....<ISP>..." but does not actually get the emails. However, the Old laptop is still able to get emails as it always has.
My ISP is a large Australian telco that I have used for many years and I have not changed anything with my account. The ISP is POP3.
WHAT HAVE I TRIED
I deleted the email account created by restoring from Mozbackup, and attempted using the Thunderbird new account wizard, however Thunderbird did not recognise my ISP and would not create the account - even though it is working perfectly at the same time on the Old laptop.
All Firewalls I can find have been configured to allow Thunderbird, with the same configuration settings on both machines.
How do I know I can send but not Get emails from Thunderbird on the New laptop?
I have sent test emails to myself from the New laptop. Thunderbird sends successfully, I am able to preview the test emails via Mailwasher on the New laptop, and can read, reply, etc, to the emails if I log into my ISP webmail service. However I can NOT get Thunderbird to retrieve and download these emails on the New laptop. If I go to the Old laptop, Thunderbird works perfectly, retrieves and downloads all new emails, including these test emails.
I am now at the point where I do not know what else to try and would appreciate any suggestions.....
I have spent many hours over the last 3 days surfing the net, forums, Mozilla Support, etc, and tried everything suggested, without success. The only thing I have NOT tried is starting windows in Safe mode (as per some suggestions), as it is not a viable long term solution.
OTHER INFO
Computer Details;-
"Old" laptop;-
Windows 7 Home Premium - continuously updated with all Critical and Important updates. 64 bit version.
Antivirus = Bitdefender Total Security (subscription and licensed). Up to date.
MailwasherPro 2012 (subscription and licensed). Up to date.
Thunderbird 24.5.0 working perfectly. Up to date.
"New" laptop;-
Windows 8.1 - up to date with all Critical and Important updates. 64 bit version.
Antivirus = Bitdefender Total Security (subscription and licensed) - downloaded and installed. Up to date.
MailwasherPro 2012 (subscription and licensed) - downloaded and installed. Up to date.
Thunderbird 24.5.0 - downloaded and installed.
Note: I 'downloaded and installed' the Windows 8.1 version of these programs to avoid any potential compatibility problems restoring or copying from a Windows 7 backup version of the programs.
1) New laptop came with pre-installed with McAfee - which has been Uninstalled due to running Bitdefender (Windows searches for 'McAfee' return nothing found suggesting the Uninstall was successful).
2) Thunderbird has been added to both Bitdefender and Windows 8.1 firewalls on the New laptop.
3) Bitdefender and Windows security settings are identical on both laptops - as near as I can determine, I may be missing something - but have checked all settings 3 times by doing a side-by-side visual comparison.
4) Thunderbird settings are also identical and I am using the same email address and ISP that I have been using for many years.
5) I migrated Thunderbird settings, accounts and emails from the Old laptop to the New laptop using Mozbackup, then visually checked and compared all settings in Thunderbird between the two machines.
6) For info, I have used Mailwasher for many years as a simple way to preview and wash mail before running email programs such as Thunderbird - might be overkill, but I have also never had a virus or malware problem, so will keep doing this.
7) I have Uninstalled and re-installed Thunderbird on the New laptop twice, and done the same with Bitdefender once.
8) Any config changes I try on the New laptop, I either restart Thunderbird and / or restart the New laptop, or both.
9) I have not created a Windows 8.1 account and am not using SkyDrive.
10) Only other software I have installed on the New laptop is Google Chrome, Office Home 2013 and iTunes - all are working.
Thanks in advance....

Well there is not much left. If telnet works then the path is clear and there is no hardware firewall blocking ports.
All that is left is software, so try windows safe mode with networking. A very handy way to eliminate software. it also actually disables most anti virus resident features and is preferred here because anti virus/security programs do not always disable or turn off when they say they have.
You might also try the McAfee removal tool. https://community.mcafee.com/thread/52788 I notice the rep said yes to both, they did not say not required.
Finally you could try creating a new profile, and see if it works just to exclude corruption of your existing profile. ( I doubt it but I am at the anything goes point)
Just as an aside, I have never had an email borne nasty and I for many years never even had an email virus scanner. So yes I think your a bit over cautious with mailwasher, if that is what your using it for. Thunderbird does not support scripting languages or flash, or most plugins in the email sandbox. The result is getting a virus from a mail in Thunderbird is really only possible, for all practical purposes, if you open that password protected zip from the young Russian woman and that is what the anti virus should be blocking anyway when the temp file is written.

When I try to sign in to my Yahoo email using Firefox on my Mac 10.0, I receive an "Invalid ID and Password" message that makes me sign in with a new password, and then I have to go through this again next time. Help

I have already cleared the cookies and the cache. The problem does not seem to be with Yahoo, but with Firefox. No other browser causes me this problem.

Clear the cache and the cookies from sites that cause problems.

How do I insert an image into the body of a Yahoo email using Firefox?

I've tried copy and paste from Photobucket, but that doesn't work. I'm asking how to have the image appear in the body of the email, not as an attachment.

In Gmail, simply drag & drop into the text area;
or mouseover the "+" in the bottom toolbar, then click the camera icon.

Can't open mail in iCloud using Firefox on Windows

Hi
I'm in Botswana and have tried at internet cafes, the library and other peoples computers to access my iCloud email, but it says there is an error and can't load the page. On wifi I can login and get my mail on my own computer. PLEASE HELP!! Why can't I see my iCloud mail when logged into iCloud on another computer?

This does not help and is readily available on line, I'm in Botswana and have tried 5 different places, 3 internet cafes, a government office where I work and the local library. I can't get to my iCloud male on any of these computers, but I can login to my iCloud account on all of them. They all have supported browsers. If I'm on my MAC I can login and get my mail just fine.

Yahoo mail using firefox and windows 7 drops graphics text in boxes???

when in yahoo mail, the graphics text within action boxes, ie, send; move etc do not display. sometimes the box outlines do not display. any fix? site works fine with IE. was using 3.6 , tried going to beta 4 but has same problem

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
*https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
*https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
In Firefox 4 and later [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Safe_mode Safe mode] disables extensions and disables hardware acceleration.
*Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"
If disabling hardware acceleration works then check if there is an update available for your graphics display driver.

Login to yahoo email not working

I can't login to yahoo email from my iPad. My iPhone and the computer work fine. After I type my username and password on the login screen, it acts like it is going to login but then it just goes back to the login screen. It doesn't give me any errors messages, it just doesn't login. It will, however, tell give me an error message if I type in the wrong password.

There is no cancel button available. The small window that pop ups has three fields- one comes up with xelsysadm and the two fields or text area for Password and confirm password. There is no cancel button and trying to cancel the window does not work. Just FYI, am logging into the host after 2 months or so. It was working fine earlier. Thanks for your suggestion, any other ideas please post.

I used to be able to view my Yahoo emails in Firefox. Now I can't. What do I need to do?

I have a new computer with Windows 7 and I usually use Firefox as by browser. Recently, I found that when I checked my Yahoo emails in Firefox that I would get a blank screen with no email content showing. However, when I use Internet Explorer and open the same email message, I can view the contact. I'm assuming this changed after an automatic update. Do you have any idea what I need to do to be able to view my Yahoo emails in Firefox?

I tried running Firefox in Safemode and still have the problem. I cannot view my emails.

I can not load my yahoo email. I get the following message: "Not Found The requested URL /mc/showMessage was not found on this server. Apache/2.2.9 (Debian) mod_jk/1.2.26 PHP/5.2.6-1+lenny4 with Suhosin-Patch etc... (too many characters for your ? page

How can i recover deleted yahoo email? its also deleted in trash?

how can i recover deleted yahoo email? its also deleted in trash?

I presume since you posted here that you have a TC running backups with Time Machine???
Otherwise no I doubt you can recover it. Once deleted from trash it is likely overwritten on the disk if you used it at all.
Look at recovery of particular emails here.
Edit this is apple mail.. I have no idea what client you are talking about for yahoo mail.. if it is web mail and trashed.. and not in a trash box then it is likely gone. It depends on settings on the local computer.. if you are downloading mail or simply using it via the yahoo mail page..
I would recommend you contact yahoo or google for their mail server info and how to recover. Assuming you are using web mail.. as there is actually nothing locally you can do to recover it.

Look down for the particular info about mail.

Why I can't login to my email? They kept saying password missing.... I tried to type the correct password but they kept saying serve not found.

Why I can't login to my email fr my iPad 4 ? They kept saying password missing even though I type the correct password they still said serve not found. Thank you!

I would go into settings and take a look if the mail account settings were all set like the mail provider's guide

Hi,
You may have to update Firefox to the latest version: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/
If Firefox is up to date, please try this: '''Tools''' ('''Alt''' + '''T''') > '''Clear Recent History''', choose '''Everything''' in '''Time range to clear''' and '''Cache''' and '''Cookies''' under '''Details'''. If the problem persists you may also have to [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Resetting_your_useragent_string_to_its_compiled-in_default reset] the corrupt [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_agent user agent] in [http://kb.mozillazine.org/About:config about:config].
