I can't connect to my Yahoo groups because Firefox is giving me the error message: Sorry, an error occurred while loading the content
I just upgraded from Vista 64bit to Windows 7. Tried going back to my Yahoo group and got an error message (as described in my question above) in trying to load the page. So I now can't load the group I've owned for several years and I'm losing precious time. I *can* load it with Internet Explorer and AOL, but I vastly PREFER the Firefox browser, which is so much smoother, and where all my shortcuts and folders are. PLEASE HELP. Thank you.
