After many years of success with Yahoo mail and Firefox, I can no longer open Yahoo mail images (jpg, bmp). I can open them in gmail with Firefox or IE. I can open them in Yahoo mail using IE. I am running Firefox 7.0.1 and I think, but am not sure, that my troubles began after updating to this version of Firefox.

SOLVED: Here's the solution to "I can't open images in Yahoo mail with Firefox 7, but IE works." Just before I log on to my Yahoo e-mail site I enable cookies, but I never enable third-party cookies. That has always worked fine until October 2011. Just after I installed the new Firefox 7 this problem began. Now I have just discovered that if I enable third-party cookies the problem is solved. Users should not have to enable third-party cookies to read Yahoo e-mail via Firefox!!!

I used Foxfire for 2 years... then the other day, I couldn't read or even View yahoo mail, when is my client provider. I tried a couple of things (suggested and my ideas) which didn't work! Then I uninstalled Mozilla and Reinstated but also did NOT have it keep any of my previous settings. Inconvenient but I WORKED. Problem resolved!
