everytime i want to open yahoo email i have to enter text code on this computer only
yahoo requests a text code to open my email every time i try to log in on this computer. (it only happens on Mozilla) I don't have a problem with Explorer. (it's a security thing from Yahoo to protect me from someone else getting in from someplace else.)

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
