I can't sign-in to Yahoo Mail. I can use all Yahoo features but when I enter Yahoo ID and Password and click Sign In nothing happens. I can access it in IE or by changing rendering engine in Firefox. I have cleared the cache and cookies which was no help.

any suggesions?

Upgrade to FF 11 breaks att dsl / yahoo email. Attempt to login with username / password puts tab into a "contacting -- reading from" loop. OS is Fedora 15 64 bit. All recent updates. Konqueror works fine.

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

Actually, I misspoke :( It's Firefox 12 on Fedora 15 x86_64 Sorry for the confusion, my bad. Konqueror works.

PS: while restarting it with add-ons disabled, I've not tried 'safe mode,' will do that presently.
