You could try uninstalling the Yahoo! Browser Plus plugin to see if that caused your problem. You can always reinstall it.

I have disabled the Yahoo! Browser Plus plugin, and it didn't help. In fact, I haven't seen that it affected anything else in Yahoo, either. I still can't get attachments with Firefox, but can get them with IE.
