should firefox download yahoo.ca from l1.yimg.com as shown on opening bar
when Firefox opens a new website an alternate download information address is displayed rather than opening directly from requested site. (ie) When want to open yahoo.ca it gives in the lower info bar " transferring information from l1.yimg.com and then opens yahoo.ca. When going to other sites it always gives a strange notice that it is gathering information from a weird site before opening the actual requested page. Should this be of concern. It does not happen using windows ie8. My system has been in for a complete cleanup and overhaul recently. Thanks

Yes, yimg.com is a domain that is owned by Yahoo! Inc. and used as a content delivery network (CDN).
Many web pages download resources from several different servers, including CDNs and advertising networks. This is normal and should not be a cause for concern.
Firefox add-ons like Adblock Plus and Ghostery can help you make sense of the different services that web sites use, and block ones that you don't want.
i also experience the same thing... while transferring data from yimg.com firefox hang for a long time!!! any solution for this?
Clear the cache and the cookies from sites that cause problems.
"Clear the Cache":
- Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Offline Storage (Cache): "Clear Now"
"Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:
- Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
Start Firefox in Safe 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).
- Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
