Firefox crashes when accessing Yahoo Mail, just after I enter password

I just updated Firefox and now I can't log into Yahoo Mail. I can go the the login page, but after I type in my password, Firefox just closes. I have restarted Firefox and very briefly saw my main mail page, so I know it actually does log in, but the main mail page is causing problems.

Looking through the troubleshooting history, this appears to have happened before with Yahoo Mail and the solution appears to have been a new Firefox update that solved the problem. Mozilla programmers: hint hint.

One additional point, the upgrade did not run smoothly. It failed twice with messages that Firefox was still running and the update could not be completed.

I solved this problem by doing a ground-up reinstall of Firefox. I suspected the sketchy update that I did was part of the problem.
