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 open or download PDF files in Firefox

Why can't I open and retrieve my files from iPhoto and my address book after importing the files from my Power mac G5 to my new Mac Pro? I get a warning that says the new OS on my Pro doesn't open files from a Power Mac. Any idea how I can fix this?

For your addressbook, export the files to vCard on the PowerMac, then bring them over to your Mac Pro. For your iPhoto, copy the Users -> yourname -> Pictures folder to your Desktop on the Mac Pro, and open iPhoto on the Mac Pro holding the command and option keys. Select the library file from that Pictures folder and open it. It should import all the pictures into iPhoto as part of the rebuild process.

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.

Clear the cache and the cookies from sites that cause problems.
"Clear the Cache":
* Firefox > Preferences > Advanced > Network > Offline Storage (Cache): "Clear Now"
"Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:
* Firefox > Preferences > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
If clearing the cookies doesn't help then it is possible that the file cookies.sqlite that stores the cookies is corrupted.
Rename (or delete) cookies.sqlite (cookies.sqlite.old) and delete cookies.sqlite-journal and cookies.txt, if they exist, in the Firefox Profile Folder in case the file cookies.sqlite got corrupted.

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.

Re: Safari doesn't work with yahoo mail: always getting beach ball 
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.

I can't insert a picture in Yahoo Mail within FIrefox 3.6.13. The solution given by Yahoo doesn't work. Any ideas?

When I try to insert a picture - either jpg or html format on a Yahoo Mail page in Firefox 3.6.13, it won't insert. I looked at Yahoo forums etc, but the answers there don't work; e.g. a simple cut and past; inserting the picture link to its website. This must be a simple procedure - I get junk emails full of html pictures often. But neither Yahoo nor Firefox are helpful.

That means that the link has an onclick action. Such links need to be left-clicked. Make sure that you do not block JavaScript.
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
See:
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]

Why can't I open up my yahoo homepage in English with Mozilla? I have no problem when I use Chrome.

I like to use Yahoo as my homepage but with Mozilla it will not let me switch to Yahoo in English, it only goes to Spanish. I can open up every other language version of Yahoo EXCEPT the English. I live in Costa Rica but I want my English Yahoo. Please let me know if this can be fixed, if not I'm going back to Chrome.

You can click the flag in the top right corner on the Spanish Yahoo page to select the English version or use https://us.yahoo.com

Why can't I open word docs from mail anymore?

Am on 10.8.2 on Macbook Air and doc and docx attachments tell me to choose application to open the doc with and won't open when I choose "Word"
These used to be opened automatically by Word, not I have to manually choose Pages as the only option
Am I missing something?

Don't see how I can choose the file from within Word as it's not saved anywhere?
I have now discovered if I drag the file from mail on to the WORD icon in the doc it will open....seems much clumsier than the old option of clicking on the file to open it
Opening attached pics seems to require the same action as well using iphoto.
A bit of a step back in my opinion....
Save the word file from the email to your Mac (have you never saved an attachment before)?
Post back when you can do as I asked you to.
And remember that we are trying to find out what is wrong, don't be so snappy!
haha...point taken. Wasn't feeling 'snappy' when I typed it, not intended as such...!
If I save it somewhere as you suggested I can then open it
also, as I mentioned if I drag the doc onto WORD in the dock it opens that way as well

Why can I not open a you tube item on Firefox

I've been sent 4 different music videos on email but cannot open them in order to hear them. I'm advised that the 'plugin'
is vulnerable. What is a plugin?

Hmm, what kind of files were you sent?
Your "More System Details" shows that you have a rather old version of the Flash player plugin in Firefox: Shockwave Flash 11.5 r502
A plugin is a chunk of computer code that another company, like Adobe, releases to add capabilities to Firefox. In this case, the Flash player handles a range of different kinds of media right inside a Firefox tab inside of requiring you to download the media and play it in a separate program.
But to get back to the vulnerable part, you can update Flash by downloading a fresh installer from Adobe:
* Main distribution page: https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
* Alternate page: http://www.adobe.com/special/products/flashplayer/fp_distribution3.html
Sometimes the new Flash installer doesn't clean out the old plugin. To give it the best shot at doing that, it's best to close Firefox after the download and run the Flash installer with Firefox closed to avoid locking the old file. After the install, you can check for the Add-ons page to see whether there was a clean substitution of the new Shockwave Flash for the old one.
To open the Add-ons page, either:
* Ctrl+Shift+a
* "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Plugins.
Success?

Why can't i open pop up's i asked firefox to allow the popup and even went in and turned off pop up blocker but it still fails to let me see what i'm going for

i need to see an item in the walker exhaust website . and when i click on the picture to have it go larger i get the drop down across the top that said popup blocked. i went in and asked for the popup and nothing. i then went in and turned it off and closed the option page and tried again and nothing still will not allow it. i have had this problem before and getting tired of it. i almost would rather close the popup's than to not get the ones i need to see.

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
Thank you.

Why can't I open my comcast email now on Firefox? It will not go beyond the preview screen.

In the last couple of weeks I have been unable to open my comcast email. (After upgrade?) The email will open to the preview screen, but I can not open it beyond that and can not access my email. It works with IE though.

You can try these basic steps 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 cookies only 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 [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] 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.

Why can i not open "show stationery" in mail

Hello,
in my mail i cannot use „show stationery” anymore. If i click on ’’show stationery’’ in a new massage, the connection with my mail will be broken.
Recently i tried to save a photo in: ’’save as stationery’’and than i have had this problem . Does anyone know how to solve this?
Thanks!

When I click on "Mail Help" and search for stationery, it tells me "
Use stationery in messages
You can add a personal touch to a message by applying a stationery template; you can even include photos. For example, if you’re writing friends to invite them to dinner, you can apply the Dinner template to make your message look like a professionally printed invitation.
HideApply a stationery template
In the New Message window, click the Stationery icon in the toolbar."
WHERE IS THE STATIONERY ICON IN THE TOOLBAR?
