When I attempt to access AT&T Yahoo e-mail from Firefox I get an error message:

Your screen resolution is set below our minimum recommendation of 1024 x 600 pixels.

When I reset my screen resolution (which by the way is > that requested) AT&T Yahoo rejects the change and returns me to the error screen.

I've been receiving this error message for years, but until today, I could circumvent the error message by hitting a "Try Again" box on the page. That strategy stopped working today.

AT&T told me I had to use another browser! (If you contact me via e-mail I'll send you a pdf of that conversation.)

I like my Firefox, and it is very inconvenient to use another browser to access my e-mail account.

Help!

The proposed solution works, but immediately, and radically, reduces the size of the text.

Again, a functional solution, but inconvenient in that I immediately have to resize the text to read it comfortably.

Still a little frustrated.

The problem is that zooming a page affects the window dimensions that are reported via JavaScript and this makes the page smaller.

You can try to zoom the page at a later time to see if the script still objects.
You can also try to use zoom text only temporarily instead of full page zoom (View > Zoom).
