Just you. Works fine for me.
 
Just checked, Yahoo+firefox no problem here.

Same here. I've had other troubles with Firefox but not with yahoo or
hotmail webmail.

Could it be a setting somewhere??

Good luck!
 
no problems here. latest version of Firefox
Are you getting an error when you go to??: If so, what is the error say?
http://www.yahoo.com/ (Home Page)
http://mail.yahoo.com/?.intl=us (mail Page)

If running a firewall, make sure it is allowing access.
Any Blocking programs blocking access?
Have you recently upgraded versions? If so, did you backup your profile then
unistall the old verion in the control Panel?
What extentions do you have installed in Firefox? If you have the adblock
extension, uninstall it, close FF, reopen FF, and try to access yahoo again
Worse comes to worse, back up your profile(location depends on version of FF
you are using, you didn't specify), uninstalll FF via the control
panel>add/remove programs. Re-Install FF, upon reinstalling, try yahoo.com
again


What Operating system are you using?
What version of FF are you using? (Help>About Mozilla Firefox) version is
located there
 
cat /etc/passwd | grep mike555 returns:

It works for me. Firefox 0.9.2, Win 98 SE. Also tried with Firefox 0.8 (the
last version in Portuguese).

There are two opions for Yahoo, one is the security one the
other one is the normal one, both use different ports, may be
try both to see if it makes the difference? It seems that
Yahoo has changed it format, I noticed.

That's not always clear, though. I'm using FF v0.91 and it
states v0.9 in the About box. :)

===== OK, I figured it out , the "compose in color and graghics" ,
some how got turned on, which doesn't work for me using firefox
......... I had to use Internet Explorer to turn it back to plain text,
now I can use firefox to send plain text e-mail ....... I guess it's
a flaw in yahoo mail =========

I have the adblock extension installed and no problem with yahoo.
 
=== OK , it was me...... I had installed " user agent switcher" extention
and set it to IE ..... so yahoo got confused , I guess ..... after uninstalling
the extention, it works fine ...... ===========

I have the same problem with Mozilla 1.7. I think what's happening is
that Yahoo incorporated ActiveX in their website to force people to
use IE so that their ads would be more likely to be viewed. Moz at
least, has too many ways to filter out all the crap from pages.
