I can't send emails from my firefox browser. I can receive them but I can't send them. I used to be able too and now it has stopped working.

When I first installed firefox about 1 1/2 years ago my email worked fine. Now it has stopped working about 3 weeks ago. I can send emails, but I can't send them or reply to them.

I just started having this problem yesterday (6/19/13). I can't send any email's from my Hotmail email account using Firefox. (I can send email's from my Yahoo email account though.) I receive email's just fine. Using IE, I'm able to send email's from my Hotmail and Yahoo accounts.

hello, other users had problems using yahoo mail recently when they had addons or external software present which blocked tracking sites (like ghostery, avg do not track, or others).

can you check in firefox > addons > extensions if there's ghostery listed there for example? if so, add an exception for yahoo mail: click on the ghostery icon while you're in yahoo's webmail, choose "edit blocking options" & then don't block on this domain...

otherwise disable any addons with similar functionality.
