Normally when I view a photo attachment in Yahoo Mail, the attachment pops up in a separate window and the screen behind it greys out. After view the photo, I click on the x in the upper right hand corner, the popup window closes and the screen where all my email is listed becomes accessible again. Now, after the update, after I close the pop up window the screen remains greyed out and I cannot access it without using my back arrow key and re-entering my email. Any ideas?

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