Is this the error you see? Error Message: You need to have Javascript enabled in order to use Yahoo! Mail

If so, see Settings for web content, pop-ups, fonts, and languages to make sure that Enable JavaScript is checked. If that's already checked, you may have a Firefox extension like NoScript that is blocking JavaScript for Yahoo Mail. See Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems.

If you need more help, please post back.

To avoid confusion:

The Java plugin that you see in "Tools > Add-ons > Plugins" is used to run Java applets.
You only need the Java Console extension (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) if you want to check and debug Java applets.
