I have no problem with FF and yahoo email. What is the exact error message screen shot?

Hi sammyjo1298, there is a support article for that error message. Does anything here help:

Secure connection failed and Firefox did not connect

In case you are using an older bookmark, your inbox address might have changed. Please try using this "generic" address and let Yahoo redirect Firefox to the correct page:

https://mail.yahoo.com/

If your email is through AT&T or another specially branded version of Yahoo, try accessing it from that partner's home page, using the Email link/button.

Any improvement?

I just started getting this problem today. It says this..."An error occurred during a connection to mail.yahoo.com. Peer’s Certificate has been revoked. Error code: SEC_ERROR_REVOKED_CERTIFICATE"

What do I do ?

Hi Spottedfeather, does it help if you start from the login page:

https://login.yahoo.com/?done=https%3A%2F%2Fmail.yahoo.com%2F

Maybe start a new thread because I think you are getting a different error from the one mentioned by the original poster here. These are the respective articles:

I would split the new posts off as a new thread but this Kitsune forum software currently does not have any post split options.

I didn't realize a lot of people have this issue in recent hours. Hopefully it's something Yahoo will resolve quickly.

No, it doesn't help to log in via the main page. I get the same thing. yahoo mail can work for a long time, then later on when I try to log in, I get that error message. RIght now, it's working, but I'll still check in a few hours.

I can log in to yahoo, but when the error is happening, mail can't be accessed.
