With Yahoo Mail and Firefox 8.0 the viewing pane appears to the right instead of below as it does with other browsers. Please advise.
This started a few days ago. With Internet Explorer and Chrome the reading pane shows up below the inbox. With Firefox It shows up in a narrow pane to the right of the inbox.
Chosen solution
The viewing pane if I click a message replaces the inbox in the right pane for me.

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

Upgrade your browser to Firefox 9 and check
I installed version 9.0, and the same problem exists. I didn't expect it to help, and it didn't. I trust that there was no reason you thought it would work other that try a new version and hope the problem goes away.
