In FIREFOX, using YahooMail, if a message is posted FIRST, i.e. if anything is written in the body of the email first, and then a link or anything COPIED is attempted to PASTE by RightClick, the message already written on the email is highlighted, no matter where the mouse/arrow is placed on the page. If I PASTE, the message is erased and the Paste goes in its place. I HAVE to PASTE the copied item first THEN type in the msg.

This DOES NOT happen when I use YahooMail in IE.

Do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode?

Don't select anything right now, just use "Continue in SafeMode."

If not, see this:

First, thank you for your attempt. #1 when I click on the windows Start button, Firfox IS NOT listed under the Show All Programs. #2 I have to go to Computer, C, Programs in order to find Firefox. #3 In the Firefox program there IS NO Safemode...I've looked at every extension under Firefox and can't find Safemode.

Also, why did it not create a file on the Start section?
