This is likely only about extensions that McAfee adds to Firefox to add extra features and that may not support the current Firefox release.
It doesn't effect the way that McAfee works on your computer and the program still protects you in the background.

I haven't heard about this conflict before. If your McAfee software is as up-to-date as possible, you might check their forums to see whether it is a known issue.

Meanwhile, since you mentioned Yahoo! mail... As you know, Yahoo has made lots of changes in its mail, including changing servers. While old bookmarks and home page addresses should be redirected to the correct server, this is not happening consistently.

To make sure you are using the latest server for your account, try accessing your mail through one of these pages:
