Is Firefox causing trouble with my att.net/yahoo e-mail log-in?
I sign on to my att.net/yahoo e-mail account and It comes up ok, but I cannot open any of the e-mails or do anything else. Also have kind of the same problem with my AOL account, only it says "ZOIDS! Error 8!" and will not load at all. This is extremely disconcerting, and it's been happening occasionally since November. However, in the last two days, I have not been able to access either e-mail account through my Mozilla Firefox browser, which I would prefer, but can to a degree through the Microsoft Explorer (which I would rather not use). Can you help?

Open the options for that add-on. See if there is a Disable On This Site.
If you can't, try Adblock Plus {web link} This can be disabled on sites you choose.
Blocks annoying video ads on YouTube, Facebook ads, banners and much more. Adblock Plus blocks all annoying ads, and supports websites by not blocking unobtrusive ads by default (configurable).
That was very good work. Well Done. Please flag your last post as Solved Problem so other will know.

I discovered the problem ... I had installed "Simple Ad Blocker." Yahoo Mail and AOL Mail did not like that. Disabling "Simple Ad Blocker" solved the problem. All is well, and I get to see all this annoying ads all the time on both sites!
