Sometimes a problem with Firefox may be a result of malware installed on your computer, that you may not be aware of.
You can try these free programs to scan for malware, which work with your existing antivirus software:
- Microsoft Safety Scanner
- MalwareBytes' Anti-Malware
- TDSSKiller - AntiRootkit Utility
- Hitman Pro
- ESET Online Scanner
Microsoft Security Essentials is a good permanent antivirus for Windows 7/Vista/XP if you don't already have one.
Further information can be found in the Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware article.

already have malware bytes installed along with McAfee run checks weekly on my laptop what ever this was, came with the firefox update
yahoo has been getting a lot of accounts hacked lately and is not related to firefox, where did you update firefox from?
it was an automatic update from Firefox to a new version 22.0
have you contacted yahoo, im 250 % sure mozilla is not the problem
not yet ran a scan and changed password, going to run full virus scan tonight will see after that
