Yahoo mail problem. Error msg says low resolution and goes into loop. Resolution is set properly and this is onlyyahoo application that gives the problem.

The yahoo home page loads ok. The mail page will work in chrome but not in firefox. I checked the settings. Yahoo seems to set its own display options. Once the mail page loads it switches between the error message and the inbox in a loop.

All is ok on chrome. It loads with the disolay fitting the screen unlike in firefox where the pages are wider than the screen. T

You're welcome.

Firefox doesn't zoom automatically.
You may have zoomed a page on that domain by accident in the past by pressing the Ctrl key and scrolling with the mouse wheel or via Ctrl and plus (Ctrl + +) (Firefox remembers the page zoom per domain).

This can be caused by zooming the page (this will report a lower resolution via JavaScript).

Reset the page zoom on pages that cause problems.

Just tried CTRL 0 it and it stopped the looping...thanks so much. I wonder why it zooms automatically??

It's easy to change the zoom using the mouse scroll wheel -- if you happen to be holding down the Ctrl key. Hopefully it's something simple like that and not a deeper mystery.
