Yahoo's sign-in seal won't display in Firefox but will in I.E.
My Yahoo sign-in seal worked fine 'til this morning. It'll change the color but won't display the same or new text. Yahoo tech said it's a Firefox problem because it works in Internet Explorer. He dbl-checked that I wasn't on a phishing site. Any ideas to correct this? Thx-Kate

Bullshit. I'm running Firefox (on a Mac) and the seal shows fine.
It is NOT showing on Mac's native Safari. Many Yahoo users have been reporting missing seals for the past 24 hours.
Suggested reasons: seal runs through Flash-cookies. I haven't verified that's the problem. Flash should run the same on both browsers. 'Time not set exactly to the right time.' I set my time correctly, still no seal on Safari.
Bottom line: works on Mac Firefox, and the general buzz is it's a Yahoo problem.
Thank you for responding.
I reset the seal several times last night but finally gave up (with no luck). When I signed on this morning, there it was!
Maybe all the calls to Yahoo in the past 24 hours caused them to re-think this issue and realize it was their problem and found a fix for it?
Again, thanks-K
A year on from other replies and the problem is still around. I have a seal on Chrome, Opera, Maxthon, Safari & IE. I can change the colour (or color if you are American) of my invisible seal but no seal, whether picture or script. I have also disabled Ad-blocker to no avail. Cheers, Gordon.
Is the seal a Flash object?
Update the Flash plugin to the latest version.
Hello Cor-el,
I have just upgraded flash to newest version but still no seal image. Thanks for quick response though. Appreciated. Cheers, Gordon
