Problem with my Yahoo sign into email with Firefox.
When I use FF to sign into my Yahoo email account. It takes my sign in etc, but then a popup ads appears got IE8 download. You can not get beyond the popup ad to your mail. .. When I use chrome, I can sign into my Yahoo email account with without any problems. . Should never upgraded to the next level of FF.
Any suggestions or better, any solutions?
Thanks

It worked....I can not sign into my Yahoo email account without any popup ads from Yahoo for IE8 or its toolbar. .. I did go to the default theme and sticking with it. .. Thanks guys for all your help and especially to cor-el ...
Now, I can use firefox again.. for what it is worth, it was only on that one yahoo account, not the others. Odd, indeed. thanks again..
correction. I can now sign into my Yahoo email account without popup ads, etc...
