I use Yahoo Basic Mail. When composing an e-mail, Yahoo has an "e-mail address autocomplete" function. As I begin to type an e-mail address in the To CC, or BCC boxes - if there are addresses in my Yahoo Contact list with the same string of characters, a drop down box appears and I can click on the desired address and it populates the To, CC, or BCC box. This is an extremely convenient feature.

And, it works with IE 8. BUT, this feature DOES NOT work with FF 30.

Obviously, this is a problem with FF 30 - can you plz advise as how to correct the problem?

FYI: Java plug-in is always activated and JavaScript is default enabled in FF 30 on my PC.

Procedure did not work - cleared all except cache and cookies. Shut down FF 30 and then re-started. DOES NOT clear problem.
