Within the past week, my Yahoo homepage modules do not function properly, IE; the mail module has no preview and the "Today" module does not advance to the next set of thumb nails via the arrows, nor do the thumbnails show in the preview screen when you hover the mouse over them. Additionally, I can not edit my homepage content at all, IE: add or remove content, or relocate content. My home page does, however, function properly in Internet Explorer. Any possible solutions?????

Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration in Firefox. Since this feature was added to Firefox it has gradually improved but there are still a few glitches.
