Fire Fox only, I'm tired of all the bullshit.

What's wrong with Chrome. I'm using it right now. it seems great.

I haven't used Chrome very much at all. No reason to -- FF has been close to perfect as a browser, so why change?

But I'd love to hear the details of what happened. Please to provide that? Thanks.

I can only use the "NEW" yahoomail with chrome, it sux, and I keep getting asses I never heard of wanting to chat.
Firefox is like a garden slug in liquid nitrogen. When I use it AVG keeps telling me to turn it off because it's using up too much resource.

Yahoo tried to push the "new" mail on me as well, but in the fine print, it requires an IE or FF upgrade. Considering the older machines I'm using in the shack, it wasn't worth the aggravation of upgrading IE... although I'm sure I will at some point in time, if I need to for other reasons.

However, after jumping through a few hoops the first time that Yahoo tried to force me onto the new mail, now I go right in, and I'm still on the "classic" mail engine. Not that I use that old account for much anymore anyway.

Yea, I got that bullshit from yahoo mail about "asses I never heard of wanting to chat. " with FF for a while. Guess I finally found the right thing to ping to get rid of it, or yahoo and/or FF realized I always ignored them and stopped with the BS.

I share your frustration with the "new" yahoo mail. Not so much that it's bad -- it isn't, really, but for cryin' out loud -- why do they insist on fixing something that's not broken? Ah, well...

Thanks.

I take it you and ize both use the "new" yahoomail. I'm still able to use the classic in Firefox so far.

I don't use yahoomail at all. I access virtually all my mail via POP3 + a dedicated email client. I do have a gmail acct. but I rarely use it. As far as Yahoomail + chrome there has got to be some simple reason why it has issues. Most of the services needed by Yahoomail should be available on the 4 major browsers, i.e. Opera, Chrome, FF, and, ...uhhhggghhh IE.

Forget when it happened...the time came when I had no choice, or at least they made it difficult to stay with classic. Might have something to do with OS...I've got Vista. At work, with IE, I still get classic.


[blush] Shoulda said....at work, with XP, I still get classic.

There is a very well known fix for Yahoo mail........ it is gmail.
