Why can't I access my personal Yahoo mail? It says "Bad Request"

I have been using Camino 1.6.11 on my Mac G4 for several years, but now GMail is asking me to upgrade to Mozilla. Since I only have an OS 10.3.9, I could only download Firefox 2.0. Now I cannot access my Yahoo mail. This laptop is so old it is not worth getting a newer Mac OS X.

Rename (or delete) <b>cookies.sqlite</b> (cookies.sqlite.old) and delete <b>cookies.sqlite-journal</b> and <b>cookies.txt</b>, if they exist, in the Firefox Profile Folder in case the file cookies.sqlite got corrupted.

  • Why can't I open Slideshow in Yahoo mail in Firefox 15.0.1 when it works fine if I use Safari? Mac OS X / v10.7.5

    For the last two days I've had a problem opening attached photos in the Yahoo Mail Slideshow feature. The screen goes to a grey layer as usual, but the photo never opens to view it. I don't think it's a Yahoo problem as the Slideshow works fine if I access my mail using Safari.
    Some older posts suggested clearing the cache of personal cookies, but I don't store any history on this computer so there is no cache to clear.

    Thank you.
    I've restarted Firefox in Safe Mode as suggested and when I open the Yahoo Mail slideshow it works fine. I guess that tells me there may be a corrupted file somewhere. I'm just not sure how to go about finding out how to correct it. When I try to switch to the 'Default Appearance Theme' it won't allow me to do it while in Safe Mode. Should I be trying this AFTER I get back out of 'Safe'?
    I don't keep any cache so I'm not sure how I can bypass it. I've tried reloading the mail inbox page by pressing "Command + Shift + R" but to no avail...
    This problem just came up in the last two days, so I went back one week in my Time Capsule backup to reload a copy of Firefox from a time when I wasn't having problems - still no luck. The photos won't open in the slideshow preview on Firefox unless I'm running in Safe Mode.
    Thank you in advance for any suggestions as to how to isolate the file or add-on that may be corrupted...

  • Why can't i make attachments with yahoo mail in the newest Firefox?

    i use yahoo mail. in the old versions of firefox it works perfectly. i use now firefox 3.6.25 if i upgrade to the latest firefox, yahoo mail doesn't work anymore. i can't attach anything. the button 'attach' stays grey and unclickable. it is the reason i don't upgrade. can someone help me? o i work on a macbook pro, with mac os 10.6.8 running.

    Sorry, I don't have any other suggestions, except that I did find a thread on the Apple Discussions forum about a similar problem with Safari and Yahoo mail attachments:

    Re: Safari doesn't work with yahoo mail: always getting beach ball<br>
    Feb 7, 2012 10:15 AM (in response to Anamariela)
    Well, my problem with Yahoo Classic is different--I cannot click on some of the buttons! Very weird. No beach ball, but when I attach files to send an email and click on "Attach Files", nothing. Same with a couple others.
    Going to try to install the new Flash as Mark suggested. Anyone else have this issue?
    I probably should change to Yahoo's newer mail app but I just prefer the Classic version.
    You might want to read the other replies in that Apple discussion and try the suggestions ... or just contact Yahoo help, if no one else replies here.

  • Why can't I send links in yahoo mail?

    When I paste a link in yahoo mail, the receiver doesn't receive it as a hyperlink and has to copy/paste it into their browser.

  • Why can't I access Facebook through Firefox? It says Account Temporarily Unavailable. It worked yesterday.

    I can't access Facebook with Firefox. It worked yesterday and has worked in the past several years. It won't even come up to the log in page. Just says Account Temporarily Unavailable. Try again in a few minutes. It has been that way for the last 4 hours. I know Facebook is not down as my husband can get in.

    What is the add-on that's keeping you from installing Firefox 14?
    A problem was noticed last week with certain ways of managing Facebook cookies. You can check these threads and see whether that issue is relevant to you:

  • Why can I not access my Earthlink e-mail (webmail) site?

    Repeatedly when trying to access my e-mail (webmail) via Earthlink.net, the result is the following message "Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete." I've tried clearing cookies and cache.
    I don't have the problem utilizing IE. I've run anti-virus software (AVG free) w/ negative results.
    Any similar experiences ?????

    Don't know. Maybe you have incorrectly set up your email credentials. What happens when you try? What are the error messages you get?

  • Why can't I access photoshop cs6 on my computer?

    Details: I launch the program and it prompts me to sign into my adobe account. I click "sign in," and then it loads for awhile. It then displays an error message specifying that I am not connected to the internet or that my pc's clock is not properly synched. I reset my internet connection and synched my clock , but to no avail. The same error message is displayed every time. Any ideas?
    Thanks a lot!

    Hey Pete,
    I'm using Windows 7 and I don't think I have any firewalls. But it has recently come to my attention that before my brother gave me this computer, he installed Clock Stopper to extend free trial programs. It's since been uninstalled, but could that program have messed up my clock permanently?
    Thanks

  • Why can't i access or click on the menu options at the top of ANY web page? Also, Can't close a moddle window using the x in the upper right,?

    Why can't i access or click on the menu options at the top of ANY web page? Also, Can't close a moddle window using the x in the upper right,?

    Problems with buttons and links at the top of the page not working can be caused by an extension like the Yahoo! Toolbar or a Babylon extension that extents too much downwards and covers the top part of the browser window and thus makes links and buttons in that part of the screen not clickable.
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
    *Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.

    Hey GingCarv,
    Great question. You'll want to download the movies from your purchase history. The following article explains how to do so:

  • I imported some 24P HD videos from my DSLR to Aperture but these videos do not show up in iMovie '09 for editing purposes. Although my previous 24P HD Videos from iPhoto '09 show up. Why can't I access these videos stored in Aperture library?

    I imported some 24P HD videos from my DSLR to Aperture but these videos do not show up in iMovie '09 for editing purposes. Although my previous 24P HD Videos from iPhoto '09 show up. Why can't I access these videos stored in Aperture library? I assumed that like  the videos in iPhoto, I would be able to access the videos in Aperture through iMovie. Come on Apple! I am starting to get frustrated with your products here. And this is saying a lot when I have been using and loving apple products for the last 4 years.

    Hi. My camera is a Canon 600D. And yes my videos are stored in the Aperture library and they are not referenced. Even then I tried to select all the videos in Aperture and clicked 'consolidate masters' and there was a messge that said all 'none of the files are referenced',... so they didn't need consolidating.
    I also tried preferences> export> external video editor > choose > iMovie. And then right click on the video to edit with imovie. Even then the video didn't show up in iMovie. It seems like the only option for me is to import the videos directly to iMovie which means there will be two versions of the same file stored in my computer eating up space.
    APPLE. What are you doing?

  • Why can't I access my icloud email on Chrome?

    Why can't I access my iCloud email on Chrome? I can open it, read one email and then it freezes > both on my mac and on my pc!  After an upgrade I can't access "mail" either, which is why I resorted to iCloud on chrome.

    Your profile states 10.6.8. The system requirements for mail is 10.7.5 or later
