Tom AZ Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Everything seemed fine a couple days ago, but I've started having a very strange problem with YahooMail -- but only in Firefox. When I try to login to either one of my YahooMail accounts, it appears that everything is loading properly, but then all I get is a blank screen and it indicates that it's done loading. Interestingly enough, my Gmail works fine in Firefox. By the way, both YahooMail accounts work fine with IE -- so it must be some kind of Firefox issue, but I can't figure it out. I've tried several things, but it still doesn't work. Any help or suggestions?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenn Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 What version of Firefox? Could it be your security settings, e.g., cookies / pop-up blocker? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom AZ Posted July 31, 2009 Author Share Posted July 31, 2009 I'm using FF 2.0.0.20. Haven't really changed any settings, but I'll check these just in case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metalj Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 I'm using FF 2.0.0.20. You can try with FF 3.0.12 (it's still being updated) Just a suggestion. Piriform Software User Guides Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Andavari Posted July 31, 2009 Moderators Share Posted July 31, 2009 Try it in Firefox Portable and see how it goes, that way your older installation won't be messed with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom AZ Posted August 1, 2009 Author Share Posted August 1, 2009 Try it in Firefox Portable and see how it goes, that way your older installation won't be messed with. That's a good idea, Andavari. However, I did install the most current standard version of FF under Returnil. Unfortunately, it didn't help at all. This whole thing is so bizarre. As far as I can tell, the only pages that won't load are my Yahoo Mail pages. They yield nothing but a blank screen. So far, every other site loads and responds just fine. I"m sure there's an answer, but who knows what it is! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuLu Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 I don't have FireFox, but I had a smiliar problem for about a week. It occured in both Opera and IE. Everything seems OK for now so maybe your issue will be sorted out soon. I'm here. What are your other two wishes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom AZ Posted August 1, 2009 Author Share Posted August 1, 2009 That's very interesting. Did your problem also involve YahooMail? I hope I'm as fortunate with a resolution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Andavari Posted August 1, 2009 Moderators Share Posted August 1, 2009 Maybe something on Yahoo's end, and it wouldn't be the first web based email to stop working in Firefox. Also check for blockages on your end in your Windows HOSTS file and browser ad blockers for any Yahoo.com addresses. If you're using AdBlock Plus temporarily disable it and see if Yahoo Mail works.

Tom AZ Posted August 1, 2009 Author Share Posted August 1, 2009 I've already tried disabling AdBlock Plus, but that didn't help. Can you tell me where to find the Windows HOSTS file, so I can take a look at that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fireryone Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 didn't we have a post here ages ago where the site images wouldn't load. i think it was some adblocker built into an antivirus or something. fireryone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
