The left menu has black background with blue text. It should have a white background. Yahoo mail has font clarity problems that are sometimes fixed by refreshing the page. The default theme is used, Firefox has been uninstalled and reinstalled.

I have finally returned to the users computer, captured screen shots of some of the issues. Also, Inserting an image into the email and then mouse out/in in the body of the email causes the image to disappear, then reappear on mouse out. in box did the same! The inbox fonts look all choppy, then perfect at times with no changes.

I have uninstalled Firefox, deleted the app data folder, reinstalled and still same problem.

Notice the home page and email imaged that are attached.

Thank You, Doug

I've updated graphics driver, shut off hardware acceleration, and receive the same results. The weird thing is that Chrome displays the yahoo home page correctly, as well as the yahoo mail. Firefox seems to have the graphics issues.

Update your Flash Player Note: Windows users should download the active_x for Internet Explorer. and the plugin for Plugin-based browsers (like Firefox).

Note: Windows 8 and Windows 10 have built-in flash players and Adobe will cause a conflict. Install the plugin only. Not the active_x.
