i think i’ve figured out what’s going on between FF and ymail. turns out if you are running the adblock extension it can block the ymail page from loading. if you check your adblock preferences you’ll see a url(maybe more than one) possibly beginning with “http://us.js1.yimg.com/us.yimg.com…”. if you see this url delete it from your blocked items list and ymail should start working again. i am using v1.0.3 and since i did this i’ve had no problems. hope this helps the anti-IE folks out there ;-)

I solved the blank page problem, I started using the K-meleon browser instead, noone at Firefox or Yahoo seems to want to address the problem so it semed to be the only solution.

I found out what was causing my problem (blank page) Like someone else siad it had to do with the add blocker I had blocked yming.com or whatever in an attempt to get rid of those annoying sidebar adds in yahoo. Still while my mistake, yahoo has way too many “scripts” being loaded with the majority of them having to do with ads.

My FireFox 1.0.2 running on Win/XP won’t read Yahoo or Hotmail E-mail. This has been the case for the last month at least. I get a blank screen and a notice that there the page was empty.

I can’t find any suggestions on how to fix the problem

Seems to be affecting a LOT of people. FireFox needs to get this working or we may have to go back to using IE. :( I don’t want that but I got’s to see my e-mail.

I have two computers. Phone line to DSL modem, DSL modem to router, router to each computer. One computer gets a blank screen with Yahoo mail, the other works. I have no idea why, but I will keep searching.

I’ve also started having problem using yahoo mail since I upgraded to Firefox V1.0.2. Pages within yahoo mail get blanks loaded about 95% of the times. I’ve tried clearing all the caches except passwords and forms but to no effect.

This appears to be specific to Firefox cause IE and Avant works fine in yahoo mail. I like Avant but I still prefer Firefox for its very customizable features, I’d like not to switch…

Any ideas, anyone?

P.S.

I’ve found that I “can” access yahoo notepad which provides links back to yahoo mail. If I use the “folders” links to go to yahoo mail I “can” get back in and somehow “jolt” my other folders open, but getting the individual message to load and show consistently is still hit & miss pretty much. It’s not a real solution but a bandage is better than nothing!

Yahoo mail has stopped working with Firefox again (1.0.2), unless I turn off javascript. I’m getting the blank page on login again mentioned previously. Surely it can’t be that difficult to make a webmail system work with Firefox… even Hotmail works!

Perhaps it’s time to dump Yahoo mail?

I am getting the blank page/done problem when accesing Yahoo mail. This happen with Explorer, Navigator or Firefox. It would really be nice if we get a help from yahoo on this issue.

my yahoo mail and hotmail come up blank and read “done”. I thought it was a virus. Now I see it is common. I guess I’ll go back and try to reset all the changes I’ve tried. Maybe by updating my windows xp?
