Ok the only way i could read my messages in yahoo was to remove completely fire fox 8.0.1. and re-download fire fox 3.6.22, before i change back to 8 or higher, you need to work with yahoo mail, and others to fix the problem or it will happen again. sorry but your educated guesses about my current browser will not work until you fix he problem, because you want me to up date my browser, and that is my problem. you shouldn't make any guesses until you fully know what is going on.
