yahoo mail and firefox are not playing well together

Mister Bushice · Post by **Mister Bushice** » Sat Dec 09, 2006 8:18 am

When I open up any yahoo email message in firefox 1.5.0.8 the message content is a blank white screen. the same problem does not exist in IE, nor did it exist in earlier versions of firefox. THis is a fairly recent development that started after a firefox update.

I tried to find a reference to this somewhere, but had no luck. Anyone heard of something like this? Usually there is either a fix for it, or else a switch has to be flipped somewhere in the security menu.

I'm open to suggestions on this one.

I've had extension and theme updates fuck up my Firefox installation. Chalk it up to poorly coded, third-party contributions to the
Mozilla project.

Try Firefox 2.0.

I would suggest always running the latest versions of Firefox and Thunderbird. Updates are generally there for a reason.

I'm not a fan of Yahoo mail or Hotmail. Gmail spanks the living piss out of both of them.

Oh, I'm in a yahoo pick em game, and the reminders started coming in blank. I've been in the same pick em game for about 6 years now, but this just started happening. It's only on one of my puters though, the one I have auto update for firefox set to on. :~(

Though I have auto updates on for FF I have not DL'ed the 2.0 vers of firefox because I heard there were some conflicts with it. izzat the case?

the conflicts would be with some of the plugins you might have installed. Most of those have been resolved, though.

yeah, most likely so, but it happened after an auto software update so one of the plug ins must have outdated itself in the process.

I'm done traveling for the year, so I'll probably dig around and sort it out. Are U using 2.0?

Yes, I am. Although, I have to use IE 7 quite a bit in order to test website stuff with it.

I just logged in and got in no problem and was able to read my one message. Even went so far as to send a gmail message to yahoo and read that. No problems. I am already on their new yahoo mail interface so if you are still on the old one, maybe that is the problem. Also if you received bad html email, maybe firefox is protecting you. Not sure what it is but I can tell you its not a global problem.

Yeah, it's only happening on one computer, So I'm pretty sure it's one of the extensions.
