Ever since FF updated to 35.0 I can not open yahoo mail log in,

using wireless.  It seems to work only if plugged in.  If I open it in IE 11 I seem to have no issues though regardless of how I connect. I have tried several of the suggestions safe mode, resetting, firewall, etc but no luck. 

Running Win7 64 bit (with latest updates), Firefox v35.0

Thanks FredMcD, The computer I sent the question from is not the one I have the issue with. I did however go ahead and remove the duplicate adobe programs Thanks for catching that. I have also cleared cache, cookies, etc on the computer in question but that did not seem to resolve the issue.

Okay, Using wired you have access, using wireless, none. I take it both are going thru the same modem?
