open firefox in safe mode by holding down shift and clicking on firefox as usual, now click on continue to open in safe mode...now try and login into your yahoo mail and see if it works. if it does u need to check for any updates for any recent addons u might have installed.

It is Explorer problem because I use both IE and Firefox...IE kept crashing the yahoo.mail. But Firefox opened yahoo mail with no problems

I would try the basics first, if the retry doesn't work and switch to classic doesn't work.

You can go to http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/ and download FireFox. This will work, that is what I'm using now.

Or I just found out the the Beta version of Internet Explorer 9 is working ok with yahoo. You can get that at http://www.beautyoftheweb.com/

Periodically, yahoo or microsoft will send out an update that will not work. it will be fixed, it is just a matter of time.

Do you get any error regarding it or anything...
if yes,then let me know
other wise try to open your yahoo mail in firefox,download firefox from following link

Firefox Browser | Free ways to customize your Internet
if this wont work,then mail yahoo at

Most of the time, the internet browser is the problem when a page won't load up. If you're accessing your Yahoo! Mail everyday, there will come a time that your browser will be filled out with cookies and cache.

However, you must try to isolate first, to make sure that the problem is the browser and not the Yahoo! Mail sign in page. Here are the things that you may try:

1. Try to use different internet browser and access your Yahoo! Mail. If the sign in page loads up, then it's the browser.

2. Try to access the Yahoo! Mail in a different computer that is connected to a different network.

If the problem is only happening in one browser, then it's the browser. You may try to clear the cookies and cache. Here's how:

* For Internet Explorer
- Open your IE > Tools > Internet Options
- Click the "Delete" button under the browsing history.
- Select cookies, internet files, etc.
- Select "Delete All".
- Close and re-open your IE.
- Try to access your Yahoo! Mail.

* For Mozilla Firefox
- Open Firefox > Tools > Clear Recent History.
- Select cookies, cache, browsing and download, etc.
- Click on "Clear Now"
- Close and re-open your Firefox
- Try to access your Yahoo! Mail.

Thank you and good luck!

If you can get to the internet, but Yahoo is not opening, then try to clear the cookies, cache, and internet files of your internet browser. Here's how:

1. Open IE6 > Tools > Internet Options.
2. Click the Delete Cookies button and Delete History.
3. Click on OK > Close and re-open your IE6.
4. Try accessing yahoo.com.

* For Internet Explorer version 7
1. Open IE7 > Tools > Internet Options.
2. Click the "Delete" button under the Browsing History option.
3. Delete the Cookies, Internet Files
4. Click on OK > Close and re-open IE7
5. Try accessing yahoo.com.

* For Mozilla FireFox
1. Open Firefox > Tools
2. Select "Clear Recent History"
3. Select Cookies, Cache, Browsing and Download History.
4. Close and re-open Firefox
5. Access yahoo.com.

Good luck!

Use a different browser. Use Firefox (free download from mozilla.com) if you normally use IE or Safari.

If this problem never happened before, you may try optimizing your Internet browser by clearing the Cookies, History and Internet Files. To do this, please follow the steps below:

* For Internet Explorer:
1. Run IE > Tools > Internet Options.
2. Locate the Browsing History portion and click the Delete button.
3. Delete the Cookies, Temporary Internet Files and History
4. Click on OK > close the IE.
5. Re-open IE > try accessing your Yahoo e-mail again.

* For Mozilla Firefox:
1. Run Firefox > Tools > Clear Recent History...
2. Click the drop-down arrow > select 'Everything'
3. Click on 'Clear Now' > close the Firefox.
4. Re-open Firefox > access your Yahoo mail.

Hope this helps you resolving the problem!

Can you open other web-sites, e.g., 'www.google.ca' or 'www.yahoo.com' or BT's "home" page?

If not, then check your Internet connection.
