Firefox version 3.6.18 and Yahoo mail classic . All buttons within the browser to check mail/inbox do nothing (shows blue bra loading at top of window but status bar indicates done). Most will if I right click and select open in new tab/window.

Windows 7 starter with java and flash updated. Works with IE8.

I removed and updated to latest version 6.0 and still had same problem. I hate the new ad driven interface with the latest Yahoo mail and will stay classic as long as I can.

I know they are phasing out Yahoo Classic mail but in the meantime is this Yahoo problem?

Chosen solution

Well, I found my solution today: An AdBlock Plus rule. It was NOT an AdBlock Plus problem, however! Instead, it was an overly zealous rule that >>I<< added. Something about Firefox v7 and AdBlock didn't play nicely on Yahoo Mail Classic.

I started by disabling AdBlock Plus and reloading the Yahoo Mail Classic page, which then worked. Next, I tried "reporting an issue" via AdBlock Plus and it took me thru this incredibly cool, but simple, series of steps to debug the problem. Quickly, it was found to be one goofy rule I added which caused the problem. As soon as I disabled my AdBlock Plus rule, BAM! All the buttons started working again, while restoring the other, good AdBlock Plus rules for Yahoo Mail Classic.

Thank you decay, now I guess, I can send the Yahoo mail dev team an apology.
