With yahoo's *new mail format*, you need to right-click any custom folders you've made and choose *Remove* from the context menu BUT this context menu is often UNDER Firefox's own context menu making it impossible to click anything on theirs.

I actually wrote to them, but as expected they say it's not their fault.

I was wondering if there is a modifier key option to temporarily disable the Firefox context menu from popping up.

Excellent! - This works perfectly. Many thanks.

I just wish yahoo would do things differently.

I has a similar problem with the Comcast SmartZone webmail interface using their own contextual menus, changing to the SmartZone Lite interface got rid of those extra menu's - but that is a "text" not HTML type of email. I can view HTML type email that I receive, but my Reply and "composed" email is text based with attachments, nothing is embedded in the body of the emails I send.

Yahoo may have an option for "simple" or basic text webmail, too.
