Mozilla doesn't send spam, nor does Yahoo, so this isn't something we can control. I'd suggest you try adjusting the spam filters in your e-mail system to better get rid of the garbage, or switch e-mail addresses if it is really bad.

As for e-mails being cut off, try the steps at Websites look wrong or appear differently than they should

RE: Excessive Spam Email only since Firefox joined with Yahoo this year [2015] The Spam Filters have been adjusted, as to the suggestion of changing my Email address, this would be costly as Cards, Letterheads and Envelopes have been printed with current address.

However I do thank you for your prompt response.

If your e-mail address is widely spread across the internet, it will get a lot of spam. My e-mail address regularly received 100+ spam e-mails a day, I just have trained my spam filters to get rid of it. It's an unfortunate side-effect of the internet, but it has nothing to do with Mozilla or Yahoo.

Yahoo only became the default search engine instead of Google in en-US Firefox browser starting 34.0
