Firefox (on 5 PCs!) won't connect to Yahoo Mail

I have Firefox 3.6 on 5 PCs, including one administered by my office. All 5 are having problems connecting to Yahoo Mail. The YM page won't load - once in a while it loads, but very slowly - until I restart Firefox. Then it loads fine. I disabled all my extensions and plug-ins, and cleared all of my history, but still have the problem. IE has no problems connecting to YM. Any ideas?

I have FF 3.6.13 and Win 7. ATT is ISP which is Yahoo Mail. I see everything on the YM email main screen, including the inbox subject lines, except when I try an open an email nothing happens, just blank. No errors, nothing. If I log in using IE I have no problem opening, and seeing, any email. Very irritating.

FWIW, I think the problem was Firefox Sync. After weeks of trying to get it to sync my bookmarks reliably, I gave up and went back to XMarks. The Yahoo email problem then went away also.
