Using MacBook Pro mid 2010 OS X 10.2.1 FF 29, yahoo mail not working.
This is a new problem, since the last FF upgrade. When I access my yahoo mail account, I can compose or open one message, then cannot continue, a freeze occurs. I have to go back to the mail icon, click on it, and then compose, to write another message. It all works smoothly in Safari. I have searched the posted suggestions and completed all: empty the cache, cookies deleted. All to no success. This problem is now about one week old.

Restarting in the "safe mode" answered the problem. While in Firefox, go to Help pull-down menu, select Restart with Add-Ons Disabled, then a pop-up box will ask if you want to Restart with add-ons disabled, select that. Unfortunately, now all the adds appear during my inbox mail screen and I do believe that was the problem, but I am happy to have control over the mail account again. (This solution was suggested as an answer to someone else and I thought I would try it, because that person complained of the mail account in "Rogers.com" freezing with Firefox.)
Sorry "rogers.yahoo" mail account was the one mentioned.
MassillonMac,
If starting Firefox in Safe Mode worked, then it's probable one of your extensions causing the problem. Safe Mode isn't meant to be used for daily operation. It's a troubleshooting mode.
Just to clarify, is it working normally w/o Safe Mode or is it still messing up?
