yahoo and firefox

This has just started happening this week. I cannot access my yahoo mail with firefox or chrome. I CAN access my yahoo mail with IE. Sounds like a microsft conspiracy to me.

I've tried most things. Un i nstalling - re installing - turning AVG off - turning zone alarm off - contacted yahoo. No joy. Anybody else having problems?

Yahoo mail

Firebug is know to cause some problems with Yahoo mail, if you use it, you can get the latest version here-

Also do you use the Yahoo mail add-on? I don't think this is compatible with the latest version of FF3.03, if you are using that, try uninstalling it. If you are using an older version of FF - you can get the notifier here-

I don't actually use yahoo but it may also be connected to Flash plug ins, make sure you have the latest versions. Also consider disabling NoScript, if you have it installed.

 Thanks for your time tom.

 Thanks for your time tom. I did look around the web to see if anybody else was having problems and all of a sudden it would appear that they are. I don't think Ive got any off those add ons you suggested but i will have a look at the flash plug in.

Notifier

Sorry I missed the link for the Notifier.-
