Cannot login to mail.yahoo.com via Firefox on this PC. I can do so via Chrome. When attempting to connect to mail.yahoo.com via Firefox I can enter my email address but all I get from Yahoo is "We are unable to process your request at this time

Please try in minutes"

Note that the problem does NOT occur when using Chrome at the same sitting using the same PC. Have tried selecting the "shield" symbol to the left in the address to no result nor does trying to select the lock symbol. At this point I am ready to say goodby to Mozilla Firefox which I have used for several years. But unless a solution is found it is time to say GOODBYE Firefox. I will watch my email via another browser for any possible solutions. Thanks in advance, Hall Blankenship [removed email from public]

Open Yahoo! Mail in Mozilla Firefox and go to Options > Set Y! Mail as the default webmail. Go to Options > Preferences > Applications. Under mailto Content-Type, make sure Yahoo! Mail is selected.
