Where did you download Yahoo-Firefox from?

Sounds like a modified version of Firefox, with some Yahoo preferences and stuff added.

I went to the www.mozilla.com/firefox website and downloaded it directly.

In addition, I cannot 'send a link' and maybe some other things I have not yet tried.

Thank you for any HELP...

This may be a normal condition. When I go to my MyYahoo! page, my browser shows this in the top bar "My Yahoo! - Mozilla Firefox". It is showing the name of the website that I am viewing, and the name of the program that I am using. Try going to several different websites and looking to see what is displayed in the top bar of your browser. It will probably show the name of the website (or text that was chosen by the website developer), and the name of the program.
