Not opening yahoo email links.[Mac.]

[rb5505]

when i click on email links within a yahoo email from a certain emailer, they don't open properly. it goes to the new tab correctly, but fails to convert the mail link to the link it should be to then open. see example of initial link then link after the browser opens (it did this before). it works in chrome, but not firefox. other yahoo email hyperlinks open just fine. i have an imac system 10.12.3.

this is what the browser would normally show opening in the new link.

this is what it would convert to and then open after a second or two.

In both of your link-posts... they all worked fine for me... in that first one I did see it convert to its proper link and displayed properly... just like the second one... so, not sure what you see...

For Yahoo... try this...

From a prior post from Dan Raisch (with minor changes) ...

(If using a version below Firefox 3.5.) Clear the browser cache (Tools->Clear Recent History->select cache->click on "Clear Now" button).

Else... use menu path Tools->Options->Advanced->Network tab->click on "Clear Now" button.)

Delete any cookies relating to the site(s) involved (Tools->Options->Privacy->Show Cookies button).

Note: The above is for Windows so if you're using a different OS refer to this...

... else... test while in this mode...

Try running Firefox in safe-mode... NOTE: This is a testing procedure only ... NOT for normal browsing.
-- On the menu bar, click the Help menu and select Restart with Add-ons Disabled....
Firefox will start up with the Firefox Safe Mode dialog. Click continue in Safe Mode and don't check any items.

Note: You can also start Firefox in Safe Mode by holding down the shift key while Single/Double clicking on the icon.
* (option key while starting Firefox on Mac).
