I am unable to open links contained within my yahoo email via Thunderbird. I am taken to the following site: http://www.dnsrsearch.com/prefs_locked.php.

Each time I click a link, There are two options within the banner ... 1) Why am I here? 2) Preferences

Why am I here produces this:

You entered an unknown web address that was used to present site suggestions that you may find useful. Clicking any of these suggestions provides you with search results, which may include relevant sponsored links.

If this service is not right for you, please visit your Preferences page to opt out. At any point in time, you can opt back in to the service by visiting your Preferences page.

If you have other questions about this service, please visit our FAQ. Preferences produces this: Your Preferences Are Currently Locked The preference settings for your IP are currently locked either because you are not allowed to set preferences or because the preference server is currently offline.

If I access Yahoo via Foxfire I am able to click the links. Please help.

If Yahoo were the problem, I am able to log into Yahoo with Foxfire, my Iphone and my tablet and click links. This only happens in Thunderbird.

Given the page is headed Timewarner cable, I suggest you ask them.

IF you are at work, you might need to discuss internet usage policy with the powers that be.
