Since August 3, I cannot access my yahoo mail account through Firefox. When I get to the sign in page for yahoo mail I enter my email address and then the password and click "Send" and nothing happens Both the user ID and password work on Internet Explorer and my Blackberry. What gives? Too many problems with Firefox 5.
