When I open Yahoo.mail, I get many tabs for Yahoo. I should only get one. How do I fix this so I'm not getting all these tabs. This started when I switched from Mail Classic to the New Mail & back again. Many of the excess tabs are for the Yahoo page that describes the two different versions of Yahoo mail. I'm using a MacBook & both Yahoo & Mozilla are up-to-date. Thanks!

Check the Mailto application in Firefox > Preferences > Applications
Make sure that it isn't set to the Firefox application.

The Mail to box in preferences>applications is unchecked. I'll proceed to the suggestions in the link below.

The suggestions didn't work HOWEVER I found a solution to my issue with this. So far it seems to work. Go into Firefox Preferences>general I reset the opening page from Yahoo In Box (which seemed to be the problem) to the default. Opened it all up then returned to Firefox Preferences & reset it back to Yahoo In Box. Now it seems to be working ok without all those nasty tabs slowing me down.
