When I open Yahoo Mail, a couple of strange, unwanted tabs open next to the Inbox tab. How do I make them go away permanently?

When I open Yahoo Mail, a couple of unwanted tabs, colored orange, show up next to the Inbox tab. They are jbaby.xxchickxx6 and skillingohhc95594. I can close them each time they appear, but I would like to get rid of them altogether and prevent them from showing up at all.

You could check with Yahoo Help to see if other users have seen this problem with Yahoo Mail ... for example, I found this where a user had a similar problem that had to do with Messenger contacts:

Thanks for this. Follow-up: Found out 15' ago after a lot of clickety-click that you can mousey up to the upper left of the screen. Click "Options." If you see a "Messenger" option, then open that up and select "only my Contacts can message me." That seems to have gotten rid of "yummicrush698."
