I have recently updated my Firefox to 5.0. Now I cannot open my Yahoo mail box. The landing page downloads and I can see my email title, but when I click to open the email the link is dead. None of the features on the Yahoo mail page works.

Everything works fine on Internet Explorer.

go to Help Menu -> select "Restart with Add-ons Disabled" Check if it works without Add-ons.

Firefox will close then it will open up with just basic Firefox. You can enable the Add-ons later. Check and tell if its working.

Nope - dead as a doornail, even thought the mailbox landing page shows new emails, nothing happens when you try to open the email. Meanwhile it's working great in I.E. Bummer - I hate IE.
