I can receive e mails in yahoo e mail but can't delete them. The delete button will not click or work. Same with move button and all buttons on that line. When I try to click on delete, nothing happens. Can delete e mails in explorer after not being able to delete the same message in firefox

Thank you for the response. That was in essence what I decided to do, except I decided to go back to the default firefox setting, which in effect cleared all the add ons and plug ins. This solved the problem, so I have marked it problem solved.
