Firefox 2.0 problem with images in Yahoo email

Post by greglynn »

I just confirmed that it is Firefox with Yahoo email. IE loads the same Yahoo email with image attachment just fine whereas Firefox is not. Firefox was working until several days ago (today is 02/06/2007), so Yahoo must have updated how their servers are serving up attachments, as this rev of Firefox is:

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.0.9) Gecko/20061206 Firefox/1.5.0.9

Would love a link to anything informative on this situation as it is not a figment of anyone's imagination for sure!

I hate to burst your bubble greglynn, but I am encountering the same problem with Safari. I've been having a lot of problems with Yahoo since I downloaded FF 2, and today I can't even open my Yahoo mail account in Firefox (Yahoo keeps asking for my password, then rejecting it). So I opened it in Safari, and am looking at an email with many photos attached, the last two of which show only the tops of the photos. After reading many posts here and in other threads I had thought it was a Yahoo/Firefox compatibility problem, but now I am not so sure.
Back up my hard drive? How do I get it into reverse?

In Firefox, one temporary workaround that seemed to work in many cases was going forward from the message to another page and then using the back button; now that the images were cached, the Yahoo! script would resize the message area to show all of them. Does that work in Safari?

I am unable to view photos in Yahoo Groups using Mozilla

Post by bearjed »

I have used Mozilla as my browser for quite a while and have not experienced this problem until recently. Suddenly I am not able to view any photos in Yahoo groups. The captions are there; the folders are there, but there are no images available. However, when I switch to Internet Explorer, I can access the photos just fine. I am able to view and download/upload photos as e-mail attachments. The problem is just with Yahoo groups. I am assuming it is not a Yahoo problem since viewing works fine in Explorer.

Anyone else experience this problem? Solutions?

Thanks.

photos not loading

Post by therealmagicdave »

I have the very same problem and it is not just yahoo mail it is all of my web based mail services. Yahoo, Gmail, hotmail display empty boxes where the photos should be. I never had any problems like this with Safari but have decided to use Firefox as my default browser. i surely hope someone knows how to correct this glitch.

Sorry, I reposted because I could not find the first post. None of the remedies seem to work for me. I don't know why either. I am pretty literate with these machines.

You can fix this problem by going to your email->mail options->spam protection->image blaocking and check the always show images option if you're using yahoo!

Hi, I have the same problem: Firefox doesn't display thumbnail of attached images in the e-mails. It is a problem of Firefox because IE displays them ok. Also It is a problem with Yahoo mail because other web mail programmes display the thumbnails.... So there is something that Firefox is not doing in Yahoo mail. Anybody discovered the problem? Thanks!

I am having the same problem with Firefox/Mozilla. I did an update on AVG the other day and have been having problems since. When I looked at downloads, there was a file type that said to block. The file type was d.yimg. I just unblocked it and now I am geting the photos back. Do yall have AVG??

FOr me, I had to make sure "accept 3rd party cookies" was checked in the options. Yahoo doesn't like it when you block their cookies
