I have Os X and Firefox 4. When I click a link in an email in my yahoo mail account, the address bar first shows about:blank and then goes on to obtain the address of the link. Is this a virus, or hacker, or what? Thanks for your help.

I see that 35 people have this issue, but where is the solution?

You only see the URL after Firefox has made a connection.
During the initial state you see about:blank in the location bar.
