Having issues with YMail in Firefox 2? Could be a browser plugin conflict
- Posted November 25th, 2008 at 1:22 pm by Ryan
- Categories: All-New Mail, General, Tips & Tutorials
We’ve received reports from some users that they are experiencing problems getting their inbox to load completely in the All-New Yahoo! Mail. Our engineers have been sleuthing around and discovered that if you are running Firefox 2.0.0.18, and have the RealPlayer Browser Record Plugin 1.0 installed as a browser add-on, you may run into this too.
Without getting too deep into the nitty-gritty, it seems that the plugin is preventing certain requests from reaching their intended destination within the browser. Fortunately there are two easy ways to resolve the problem.
- Go to Tools > Add-ons, find RealPlayer plugin, Disable or Uninstall, restart Firefox.
- Upgrade to Firefox 3.
Either of those options will do the trick.

I am using Firefox 3. Having intermittent problems with yahoo mail today. Could get on for a few minutes about 5 hours ago, but nothing since then. I can access Yahoo web sites if the address does not start with Yahoo – Finance.Yahoo is fine. http://www.yahoo.com does not work- browser says it cannot find the address. Same using IE.

Interesting you mention a problem FF version 2, I had no problems version 2 but have found that version 3 randomly crashes far too many times whether it be utilizing YM or cbs,sportsline.com’s fantasy links.
As a QA Analyst I am continually amazed at software companies and their lack of concern for the end user. Beta testing should be left to the company, contractors they employ and not the end user.
November 28th, 2008 at 5:54 am
speechless. Make sure and read the print when downloading software it generally will say BETA and indicate if you don’t want to download a software while its still be published please continue with your current version.

I have Firefox 3 and Yahoo Mail is not working.
November 25th, 2008 at 7:30 pm
Actually I am having the same problem with IE7. So either my network is having an issue or Yahoo Mail is having an issue–I suspect the latter.
November 26th, 2008 at 10:47 am
I’m also having problems with Yahoo mail in IE7. I tried to get this resolved yesterday, but no luck. Any news?
November 26th, 2008 at 11:29 am
I’m having trouble when using IE7 too…both from home and from work…
November 29th, 2008 at 12:45 pm
Im having problem after problem with yahoo mail for the past week. I use avant browser, and before now never had any kind of problem at all.
And I dont use the real player plugin
November 29th, 2008 at 4:23 pm
I’m also having problems. I’m getting so irritated I feel like leaving Yahoo altogether! I also use IE7.
November 30th, 2008 at 5:52 pm
i have been having trouble now for about a week with yahoo.mail and i also just have IE7 so i don’t think it has any thing to do with what we are using i think it is just yahoo and i think they should fix it.
November 30th, 2008 at 10:01 pm
What is going on with Yahoo Mail? I am getting fed up. Can’t get Verizon to help me out. Sounds like others are having similar problems. When are you going to fix this mess or am I going to have to leave Yahoo altogether, also?
December 5th, 2008 at 4:33 pm
I am also having problems with my yahoo account…has been happening since mid November and I am ready to leave yahoo. What is the deal……I cant add contacts……I have to restart yahoo every time I try to send and email at least three times……half the time I can’t download my contact list. I am very frustrated.
December 8th, 2008 at 5:26 am
Go to your controll panel an delete foxfire…it’s what I did….I up and running again.
November 25th, 2008 at 5:54 pm
I just followed instructions..but nothing seems to work..real player is disabled, firefox is upgraded to 3..I cant access mail.
November 25th, 2008 at 6:01 pm

November 25th, 2008 at 6:34 pm
I can access my normal mail, but not my Business Email. :|
November 25th, 2008 at 6:58 pm
I cannot get mail to load and I am using Vista/IE 7….I have had the same problem at work that uses Windows and I am not sure what version of IE but I know it is not 7…..how can I fix this? I do not have real player on my computer.
December 6th, 2008 at 2:43 am
I just had to redo my whole computer and now I have all this new yahoo crap I dont want or use. I liked the old version and now I cant even get yahoo as my default mail everything I do wants to go to outlook and I hate that too. we should have a choice to upgrade or not..If it’s not broke dont fix it i say..now I just want this new mail box stuff to go away And i have this damn chat stuff I dont use it I hate it and very very seldon use messenger but guess what I had to download it to get yahoo mail..Frustrated I want it back to normal. Stop trying to keep up with the joneses Yahoo, if we wanted msn or microsoft or outlook we would have chose that..just me thanks!
December 11th, 2008 at 6:09 am
Hello hello, I hope that someone is listening or reading this at Yahoo!! We should have a choice to upgrade or not..If it’s not broke dont fix it..I am 68 years old and do not do change and I am sure many elderly folks as myserlf feel just the same. I just want this new mail box stuff to go away and let me return to my old ways. There is all this damn stuff that I dont use. I hate it and very very seldon use messenger..very frustrated because yahoo changed while I was on the computer and everyone here at the home blames me for changing everything on Yahoo page. I want it back to normal. Stop trying to keep up with the joneses. Yahoo, if we wanted msn or microsoft or outlook we would have chose them. You should have a simple well marked way that we can switch back to our old familiar yahoo. Please someone listen….I am too old to learn a whole new way of using my computer…..John
February 16th, 2009 at 2:07 pm
I am theJoneses and I am having the same troubles. Today I am leaving yahoo after many years. I am going to g-mail.
November 25th, 2008 at 7:06 pm
i love wmail i want to be using it
November 25th, 2008 at 8:06 pm
i can see that lots of people are having the same problem !
is there any suggestions from guys who can login to the Wmail ?
November 25th, 2008 at 8:33 pm
The issue I have been experiencing today is a popup telling me “could not find yahoo…” and it is happening on about everything yahoo. If I clear the alert window and try 2-3 times it will eventually go to the page.
November 25th, 2008 at 9:06 pm
I have XP/IE7 and Yahoo Mail hasn’t been working for me all day.
November 25th, 2008 at 9:22 pm
For over 2 wks, no matter what computer, what OS, or what browser, it takes 4-10 minutes to log in, send email, and move between folders. I have tried it on mac, pc, ie, firefox, safari…no changes. help
November 25th, 2008 at 9:38 pm
I recently upgraded Mozilla, and I don’t have that plugin, but I also cannot access anything Yahoo related, be it Messenger, Mail, or Flickr for that matter. It was working fine for me up until last night around 9pm PST if that’s any help.
November 25th, 2008 at 10:35 pm
Just checked and it’s not working with IE either(mail, messenger, flickr, etc)
November 25th, 2008 at 11:14 pm
You want to know what i think? these Yahoo guys are loosing the grip and it may be time to search for alternatives! Two of weeks of waiting and still no solution is too much!
November 26th, 2008 at 12:41 am
Really!!!!
November 26th, 2008 at 12:40 am
What is going on with you people. You change everything in the middle of my letter composition, etc. etc. You think you could get a message out to us first or maybe even get it all configured before laying it on us!!! Man!!! It was great the way it was by the way. Sincerely
November 26th, 2008 at 12:42 am
I wonder if this is why my PC has been crashing for a week!!!
November 26th, 2008 at 12:58 am
In reading your comments about not being able to access Yahoo sites, I am relieved to realize it isn’t something messed up on this computer I’m using.
But I am on the verge of email withdrawal, since Yahoo is now my main email carrier.
Hopefully things will be cleared up tomorrow.
[Note to self: Copy Yahoo Address book...]

O realy the same is true with me
November 26th, 2008 at 5:21 am
I have a problem of sending a message on Yahoo mail. I need to re-send the message at least once a day as it doesn’t seem to want to load responses. Very frustrating!
November 26th, 2008 at 6:18 am
Same as all the above. I’m a novice, but tried everything suggested and still get the same page come up at the start. If I click on my home page the mail comes up properly. I just have to see the error page come up first.
November 26th, 2008 at 7:00 am
i have not been able to access my email since around 12 pm yesterday. yahoo has not worked for me since and i have firefox 3. yet i cannot even get onto my yahoo mail and the entire yahoo site has not loaded. it is partially loaded on here.
November 26th, 2008 at 11:29 am
I’m having problems in IE7 as well, both from home and at work…
November 26th, 2008 at 11:29 am
I’m having problems using IE7 too, both from home and from work…
November 26th, 2008 at 2:36 pm
Im also using Firefox 3 and cant use my email. My only other suggestion is to make Yahoo email calender work sync with iphone.
Have a great holiday!
November 26th, 2008 at 4:26 pm
Yes, this is off topic and it won’t be posted just like my on-topic comment wasn’t earlier.
Is there a direct email address for a coherent, English as a primary language, abuse desk person I can email to shut down Nigerian scammers email addresses?? I have attempted to shut down 2 email addresses this week. The first one, I have REPLIED 3 TIMES explaining in the simplest terms possible that this email address needs to get shut down. For the other email address I’m on my 1st reply. Those people are as USELESS AS HOTMAIL/MSN abuse desk jokers. Hotmail, MSN, and Yahoo all say the headers are forged. WELL DUH! If they had the brains to look in the body like I told them…
November 26th, 2008 at 8:22 pm
I seem to be having a problem when I use the search inside the new mail. I’m using FF 3. If I type something in search and hit Go, it has been intermittently just spinning for a very long time and will then give me a pop-up error message (Error executing ClientSearch program). Today, I was able to get past that a few times but then, if I tried to narrow the search, it would spin for a while and then error out again.
Hope you can fix this.

November 27th, 2008 at 4:15 am
i have been having problems with my mail cant find all my mails i recieved
it doesnt even load just a few of them and i dont even have a realplayer what should i do?
November 27th, 2008 at 5:51 am
I am gaving all the same problems for 2 days.. yahoo seems so casual about it… slow response, directing to at&t etc…
can not beleive that they can not fix it in a day…
i dont know if the top manegement is aware of it…
i am sure something bigger is going on… and I cleaned up all the sensitive information (may be it is too late already)
I have serious doubts abt yahoo and may stop using it all together (after these many yrs)
November 27th, 2008 at 7:49 am
Well, I have had NO problem this week using XP/IE7 – but the question is – where are you guys all located? When problems like this come up you should give an idea of where you are from – nearest major city, state and/or country. It could be a regional thing!
November 27th, 2008 at 8:24 am
Overall its alright.I find it frustrating that it doesn’t keep me logged in long enough.Its wasting my time! It is supposed to be easier HA!
November 27th, 2008 at 4:10 pm
I don’t even see firefox in my add on manager and I still can’t get to my E-mail on turkey day with family far away thanx!
November 27th, 2008 at 6:19 pm
I actually dumped Firefox altogether a few weeks ago and switched to Opera. The last update made it impossible for me to store my Yahoo cookies, so I had to log in from scratch every time I started the browser. I fished around on the net and other had the same complaint, but there were no solutions.
I didn’t know about all these other FF/Yahoo problems. Too bad. I liked FF, but it seems like they’ve gone down the tubes. I don’t like Opera as much, but at least it isn’t plagued with random glitches.
November 27th, 2008 at 7:00 pm
Thanks Ryan! The tip on editing your bookmarks in the toolbar was really useful.
November 27th, 2008 at 7:25 pm
please try to settle our problem.i cant login into chat because of broser.
November 27th, 2008 at 7:26 pm
please try to settle our problem.i cant login into chat because of browser.
November 27th, 2008 at 10:27 pm
I can’t get messenger at all and any thing with yahoo at all, search or even links from home page I have to refresh many many many times and then I usually get it and often no pics, just the x in the corner. I am using IE 7.
November 28th, 2008 at 9:16 am
I am having trouble getting the proper my.yahoo.com
I am using Firefox 3
Anyone else having this problem?
November 28th, 2008 at 9:48 am
I can’t get any Yahoo pages up for 2 days now.
I use IE7.
Not good for Black Friday, wasn’t there problems last year this time…?
November 29th, 2008 at 11:49 am
I can get my messenger up and I can access “my yahoo” but anything to do with yahoo mail no matter how I try to access it IE says it cannot connect…..I am so frustrated…I have email I reallly need to get to for business. How do you get a response from Yahoo? Is it time to switch to something else?
November 29th, 2008 at 12:13 pm
I cannot get to the yahoo mail server for two days now. I have tried both IE7 and Firefox 3 – same results – page load errors. Couldn’t get to yahoo.com at all yesterday but am today – slight progress.
November 29th, 2008 at 12:16 pm
Additional note – disabling the Real Player plugin had not effect.
November 29th, 2008 at 1:34 pm
I recently went on DSL and thought that my pc experience would be so much better. Although since the beginning I have had major problems with trying to send out my emails and in some case receiving some. My email is very important to me and quite useless without knowing why I can’t send my replies or forwards. I have read and tried everything I can find to no avail. Please help
November 29th, 2008 at 1:44 pm
I can’t log into my mail either. I am in ID and I think that I only have FF2 but when I try to download FF3 it says it can’t connect. I have tried every way possible to get into my mail. I took it off bookmark, typed it in, clicked on it in toolbox, also tried through the link thru mess. The only way I can read it is on my cell phone. My cell phone though is a slide phone so not able to respond per takes too long. I have a new gmail acct though!
December 30th, 2008 at 5:23 pm
I dont care about all those things about firefox and stuff like that. I care about how I can get you and me together heres my number (562)3352418.
CALL ME!!!!!!
November 29th, 2008 at 4:02 pm
Can’t reliably get on any yahoo site except some finance links. I’m in the Seattle Washington area . Same problems with both IE and FF
Struth, man get it FIXED
November 29th, 2008 at 4:54 pm
HELP !!! I have an email from my lawyer waiting for me to read regarding important issues I need to address before Monday !! (in two days). Please, Yahoo…fix the issue now !!!!!!!!!!!!
November 29th, 2008 at 5:47 pm
I don’t know what the engineers have done but I’m running IE7 and Yahoo Mail has been flaky all weekend and no, I have not had any changes on my system and it is not my ISP. This is definitely a Yahoo issue. Please fix asap!
November 29th, 2008 at 7:37 pm
I have had this problem with Yahoo mail all weekend. I am not using IE7 or FF Or real player. Now I am not able to get into my Fantasy Sports at all either. I have tried on 3 differnt computers. My Wifes account works fine….
November 29th, 2008 at 8:04 pm
This is a rather HUGE problem from what I’ve been able to gather whilst mining for information online. Hopefully it’s a fleeting problem…but for the time being, Yahoo is burning many bridges…………… One would think that they would make a public announcement of some kind IF in fact they know what’s going on…alas, we are left in the dark…
November 29th, 2008 at 8:33 pm
Using IE7… been having problems with MyYahoo and especially my email for a week. Due to several organizations I run, I need this fixed for upcoming events in the next week? Any chance of that happening?
November 29th, 2008 at 9:46 pm
I’ve had the yahoo mail not loading problem for about 3 wks now. I tried everything imaginable to fix, even had an IT guy here for about 4 hrs today b/c i thought it was a problem with my pc. i finally found this site and am sorta relieved to know that the problem isnt isolated to my pc. So now my question is WHEN will this mess be fixed or do u recommend I open up another email account w/ another provider? This has been absolutely frustrating!
November 30th, 2008 at 8:48 am
What the F!!!? It doesn’t make much sense to have a Yahoo Email account if you can’t use the Email. Like many people I have been using my Email address long enough to have critical information regarding flight reservations, bank updates, work, and bills send to my Email address; not to mention communication between family and friends. I’m not sure how long I can’t wait for folks at Yahoo to fix the problem. Funny that they asked for my Email address to make this post.
December 1st, 2008 at 8:03 am
I also have not been able to access my yahoo email all weekend.and your right it doesn’t make much sense to have a Yahoo Email account if you can’t use the Email.I to have very critical email that I CAN NOT GET TO, i can not beleive that they can not fix it in a day, they sure are takimg there sweet time doing so, and for that i have serious doubts about yahoo and may stop using it all together . Even knowing that i might lose all my critical mail, and have to start all over again. I can give you my email address but it’s not like im going to get cause i cant get in to my account. I sure hope you guys fix ASAP.
November 30th, 2008 at 10:10 am
I am having problems, as well. Glad I found this discussion, since I couldn’t contact anyone at Yahoo-most Yahoo links are down. Yahoo should put some kind of message on the front page so that other’s can know that the problem is not only theirs.
November 30th, 2008 at 2:01 pm
Well, if and when yahoo mail come back I’ll be transferring my e-mail to gmail. Does anyone know how to automatically transfer all your addresses?
November 30th, 2008 at 2:16 pm
I have been having problems with Yahoo mail all weekend. I have tried using IE 6 and 7, FF2 and 3. Still cannot access mail. Any updates from Yahoo? I am located in HI.
November 30th, 2008 at 5:52 pm
I am not running FF and am using IE7….having problems as well…please fix!
November 30th, 2008 at 8:21 pm
I have been having problems signing into my Yahoo mail since November 1st. Contacted Yahoo tec support by mail and they told me for 2 weeks to clear “cache” even after i told them i’m experiencing the same issue on all 5 different computers at my work and home. noobs. They finally admitted they know about the issue and are working on it. Now nov 30th and still no access to my email account. Once i log in again i’ll get all my contact list then blow away my yahoo forever. So long yahoo your too incompetent. using vista/ firefox 3
December 1st, 2008 at 8:38 am
It’s down for me also. But I was able to get my address book through use of the Yahoo tool bar. I then downloaded the address to my gmail
November 30th, 2008 at 8:24 pm
I also have not been able to access my yahoo email since Nov. 26th. I live in central oregon and my ISP tells me the problem is in parts of the pacific northwest. It is extremely frustrating to not have an answer from yahoo regarding the issue.
November 30th, 2008 at 11:32 pm
I have this problem but I’m using internet explorer. HELP!
December 1st, 2008 at 2:08 am
I have not been able to get into any of my mailboxes though I have been able to view snippets through ‘my yahoo’ as well as access my address book. I also can’t get into the help page for all of the reasons above. I am glad to hear it is not me, though it is still VERY ANNOYING!
gmail. Hmmm…
December 1st, 2008 at 5:41 am
I can’t get into email. This happened suddenly on Nov. 30th. I am on Firefox 3.04. I can get in through Safari, but I use Firefox because of all my book marks.
December 1st, 2008 at 6:31 am
I started having the problem this morning and I am using IE 6. I have a Yahoo Mail Plus acct and have been chatting with support for the past 2 hours and they can provide no insight.
December 1st, 2008 at 10:27 am
I thought this was my computer ; tried two different ones. I thought it was my internet connection ; tried two different ones. I thought it was ff2 ; downloaded ff3 and same thing. What is the problem yahoo? If you aren’t going to fix it right away please let us know atleast what the problem is!? I have very many business deals that I use with my yahoo account and i cant afford to not be able to log in to the mail section. Before i couldn’t even get to the main page but atleast now i can do that. Please send out an announcement telling what the problem is and when it can be fixed. We are all depending on your company.
December 1st, 2008 at 3:00 pm
I am having issues also for about the past week. I installed FireFox3 and this did not help at all. It is a Yahoo mail problem I can get on other websites just fine. Yahoo mail you need to fix this problem or I will have to go elsewhere.
December 1st, 2008 at 3:08 pm
Yahoo mail is out started having problems 11-26-08, some times could get in with many tries, but soon get dumped. I have tried 2 yahoo accts.,
FF2, and ie none work.
I receive alot of e-mail reports and documents which I canot access. I have been unable to access in Kent or Tacoma Washington.
A freind was able to access her Y acct. from Seattle.
December 1st, 2008 at 3:42 pm
I have had the same problem, using IE7 since last week. I cannot believe that Yahoo has not communicated through national media about this problem. I getting pretty irritated and have opened my new gmail account. Unfortunately, I can’t transfer my account over, because gmail can’t access Yahoo either! What an irresponsible operation!
December 1st, 2008 at 6:35 pm
Yahoo mail does not work! I can’t get my application for graduate finished because I can’t receive the e-mail! My daughter hasn’t received any e-mails in days………….. Please fix your problem
I had no problems with sbcclobal.net. I just switched a few days ago and have no e-mails since.
December 1st, 2008 at 9:00 pm
I’m sure most of us are using the free Yahoo Mail. Yahoo has no financial incentive to fix it. What do you expect for free? Oh, yeah, Gmail is free, right? hmmmm And Gmail is POPable. Yahoo.com isn’t.
I’m still not having any problems and my comments are still not posted. Even my positive comments aren’t posted.
December 2nd, 2008 at 1:11 pm
**** CUSTOMERS: THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH YOUR PC. ****
YAHOO HAS CREATED A NEW, BROKEN E-MAIL INTERFACE THAT LOOKS LIKE |-|ELL AND MAKES MAIL MOSTLY UNREADABLE (LAYOUT ISSUES) IN BOTH FIREFOX AND INTERNET EXPLORER.
YAHOO MAIL WORKED FINE BEFORE…SO, DO NOT LISTEN TO THE ABSOLUTE BU|_|_SH|T THAT SOME FIREFOX PLUG-IN (REALPLAYER, WHICH IS A P-O-S ANYWAY, WAS MENTIONED) OR SETTING IS AT ISSUE.
IT IS THE FAULT OF YAHOO AND ITS WEB TEAM’S DELIBERATE AND FAULTY SCREW-THE-USER DESIGN.
NO WONDER YAHOO’S STOCK AND COMPANY ARE IN THE TOILET.
December 3rd, 2008 at 5:13 pm
ok all…. I too am having difficulty for the past several days. Yahoo is in my bookmarks and if I use that it says http://www.yahoo.com can not be found. I finally was able to google yahoo and get on that way. What a waste yahoo. I have been using this email for years and have never had problems. i am a manager that uses your service and I must say I am finally disappointed. I am losing emails also. Lets get with it Yahoo. Gee do you really think they read this…NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
December 4th, 2008 at 1:16 pm
I’ve not had any problems accessing Yahoo! mail, except for a bit a month or so ago. Never a problem receiving mail, accessing from different PCs, browsers, everything. I know there’s a lot of you, but, from the outside, it smacks of user-side problems.
The one thing I have had a problem with, that I’m almost sure is plug-in related, is my email address autocomplete no longer working. Running FF3, with Firebug and a bunch of other basic add-ons. (Only one that may not be ‘basic’ is TwitterFox.) Any help appreciated.
December 4th, 2008 at 7:01 pm
Ok like yahoo mail claims to be the best web email but I’m finding that it’s a lie because I’ve has problems getting into my email everyday!!!! I downloaded firefox 3 and I’m still having the same problem!! I think yahoo needs to fix the problem because it’s clearly their network and not the users!!! This really sucks especially when you really need to get to some information!!!!! MAYDAY MAYDAY!!!!!
December 5th, 2008 at 1:43 am
all ok
December 5th, 2008 at 7:23 am
I use FF2 and Yahoo Mail. I now keep getting warnings from YAHOO every time I log in about the dangers of Real Player and telling me to remove the FF Real Player plug in. Let me tell you Yahoo I have nevr ever had this plug in installed so what is going on here?
December 5th, 2008 at 1:33 pm
I don’t have this particular plug-in and am STILL having these same problems! Saved Drafts are lost–& not retrievable. Have to get Cust Care to log in & reset something manually, on Yahoo’s end, so I can see my inbox. Error Codes 2 and 4. It’s a Yahoo problem. Or so the three different Customer care people I spoke with informed me. I ask perfectly clear questions such as, Is this something I can prevent, or am causing? Will the problem be fixed? When can I anticipate that happening? and am given corporate template answers that are void of content.
Today was the last straw. I was told I had to change from FF 2.0.0.18 to FF3 or IE7. Excuse me? Given the ‘choice’ to change my mail or my browser, I think I’ll try Gmail, thanks very much. Firefox isn’t some obscure little browser from East Buttcrack; for heaven’s sake, if there’s a problem, FIX it already. Don’t tell me I need a new browser.
But here’s the rub: I can’t leave! There is no way to bundle my mail together & send to to myself; to download it in a few big chunks. I was informed Yahoo ‘didn’t provide that functionality’ and that Yahoo’s Engineers would love to hear my suggestions for improvement.
You have *got* to be kidding me. We’re married, forever? What kind of business model is that?
Will be bending my almost non-existent extra time during the holidays to finding a way out of this nightmare. Totally unacceptable answer. –elek

FF3.0 and 3.1beta dont work either so switching from 2 isnt going to help you out. There is something that Yahoo has changed in the last month or two which is causing the issues. Its miserable that such a great mail interface is now useless because it wont load with the browers that Yahoo recommends.

This service is broken. Unable to access bt.yahoo.com with IE7, Chrome, Opera or FF3. Chrome says ‘unable to resolve DNS’.

The good news is that I now know that I am now alone in this nightmare, Yahoo being a daily nightmare………I am now leaving Yahoo and going to GMAIL. Happy Holidays.

bt.yahoo back on line today. Nothing lost as far as I know. Browser back to normal but this has happened before with an in between configuration of loss of HTML GUI.

Sorry to hog things as a newbie to this forum. The mail website is still alive today and I will be again forwarding mail from an account I manage to talk21.com (bt.yahoo). The redirected email address is included in a web site and it generates loads of spam. During the recent problems I connected my own email client direct and received over 100 spam emails. By redirecting to yahoo this is usually about 6 daily and no loss of geniune contacts. The yahoo spam filters seem very effective and must send the rest of the rubbish into the ether.

Found this forum trying to track down my recent firefox/yahoomail problems. After a couple of messages, the pages stop loading, completely. Just keep going and going, never finishing. I am also unable to compose messages when this happens.
So far, when I switch to IE(version 6 currently) it doesn’t happen. Have always been happy with Yahoo mail, been using it for at least 10 years, but will have to switch if this issue isn’t fixed, looks like it’s not just me or my computer after all.

I was continuing to have problems, so I sent an email to Yahoo. I was still able to access Yahoo mail through IE. The response that I got said to disable all add-ons/plug-ins. I did this and gradually added them back. I found that the newest version of the Yahoo toolbar was the culprit. Go figure. When I disabled it, Yahoo mail came through just fine. Hope this helps.

yahoo is not that way good.

I have not had access problems as much as “visual” problems. Yahoo!Mail looks plain weird. At first I though the mail page was not loading completely and I finally noticed that the mail webpage is really looong…….I have to scroll down for a long time through a vast expanse of plain blue background and waaay at the bottom there is the email. The mail is in readable format, but why the heck is it way down there??!!
Also, have been hammered with crazy spam email for the past two weeks and the spam filters are not catching it like it used to. In fact, I am now getting spam like I never got before in Yahoo!Mail. Lots and lots of spam. It looks like someone has taken the opportunity to harvest some email addys to bombard with junk or something.
Anyone else having the crazy mail page layout?

Yes, I was having the same/similar problems shortly after upgrading to
Firefox 2.0.0.19 (coincidence perhaps). The display issues had all the hallmarks of a CSS issue. After reading around a little I discovered that
for some reason Adblock Plus was blocking the following url:
http://mail.yimg.com/a/lib/mg/css/cmn/20081024/common.css
Once I added an exception YM rendered correctly.
HTH.

Hi all– I ‘ve been having a strange problem with Yahoo mail recently. When I view a photo displayed on MY Photos (photos extracted from my mail) page and try to save it, it saves as “movie clip” in html mode. I can rename it to a JPEG but it never was like this before. I need to change a setting or preference somewhere, but so far I haven’t found any tool that allows me to change that setting. This happens only in Moz/Firefox3.IE works fine. Do I change a setting in M/F or in Ymail? Can anyone help me find what I need to change? I’d appreciate. Thanks John

I use Firefox 3.0.5 on a Vista OS. I use the new beta Yahoo email system. I was able to access my personal Yahoo mail but unable to switch over to my business email account after I accepted a published Yahoo Toolbar update earlier this week. I tried various fixes (like uninstalling/reinstalling Firefox per Yahoo’s recommendation), deleting all cookies, etc. I finally disabled the Yahoo Toolbar and it fixed the problem. By the way, I did not have this problem in IE, so you may be able to use IE until you fix the problem in Firefox.

I’m having the issue of being logged in to yahoo and randomly having my browser stop responding for anything but yahoo mail. Terribly terribly irritating. I like to multi-task, chat, send receive emails, and surf all at the same time. This is not at all conducive to any of that as I have to continually restart my browser to fix it until the next time I log in.
