I can log into my Yahoo account okay. However, when I go to access and open my mail, there seems to be this endless searching, as if firefox is sifting through my files but does not stop. It keeps going on forever.

Clear the cache and the cookies from websites that cause problems.

"Clear the Cache":

"Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:

  • Firefox/Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).

  • Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window or otherwise make changes.
