Be sure to set your default browser to Firefox.  Go to the general tab in tools / options.

Yahoo Browser Tools will set mailto links to open in Yahoo Mail.  However, it opens links in IE, not your default browser.  If you want to try this, install Yahoo Messenger from downloads.yahoo.com and it includes Yahoo Browser Tools.\n\nIf you want to stick to Firefox, use the yahoo toolbar, also from downloads.yahoo.com

if you mean yahoo isn't your home page, go to the page you want it to open to, then ... Tools - Internet Options - on the general tab, click "use current" ... don't forget to click Apply and OK

Try installing another browser like firefox and use that browser for the 2nd yahoo address. Use original browser, assume IE, for 1st yahoo address. Then when you want to use one address or other, open corresponding browser. Hope this helps.\n\nGood luck!

It sounds like you might be in Kiosk mode with the Hide Toolbars option selected.  When Internet explorer is focused, press the F-11 key to get out of Kiosk mode.

Difficult to fully assess given the information but these are some things to look for / try:\n - verify that pop-up blockers disabled for mail.yahoo.com\n - consider adding yahoo.com / mail.yahoo.com to your trusted sites if you are using IE, I think Firefox has similar setting\n - verify that your browser settings allow images to load from 3rd party sites (at least for yahoo mail ... I had this problem in Firefox, had to re-enable it for mail ... probably not directly relevant to this particular problem)\n - check your java / javascript settings to ensure they are allowed for Yahoo Mail (see Add to Trusted Sites above)\n - verify that you have Java installed on your PC (check Start / Control Panel / AddRemove Programs) - I believe Yahoo Mail uses javascript and I know the Yahoo Mail Beta does\n - if you don't have the Sun Java JRE (Java Runtime Environment) installed visit http://www.java.com and install it\n - log out of Yahoo, clear your browser cache (and maybe cookies), exit your browser\n - clear your temporary directory: run "Start / Run / %temp% <enter>% to launch a Windows Explorer window directly to your temporary directory, delete everything or at least anything that looks like it relates to Yahoo. (Hint: in Detail view, sort by name, or date to review.)\n - restart your browser and try again\n - if still doesn't work and you are using a version of IE older than 5.0 upgrade\n - patch your browser (and computer) at http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com\n     > or consider trying an alternate browser: IE, Firefox, Opera are good choices\n\nGood luck.

Yahoo has a beta main page. I have noticed it only is on Internet Explorere too. If you clear out your temporary internet files and cookies, the IE one will go back to the old type of page.

I use the Firefox browser instead of IE and it seems to help quite a bit as the browser has an automatic pop-up blocker built in. (Tools --> Options --> Content)\n\nAlso, you can go to Start --> Run --> type in "msconfig" --> click OK --> click Startup tab --> delete some of the things you don't want to pop up every time you start your computer. This has helped my computer speed up quite a bit.

The people above are not correct. When you are logged into Yahoo and then you open another IE, then you are still in the same session. YOu will also be logged into yahoo on the second browser. If you truly want two different sessions, you need two browsers.\n\nGet http://www.mozilla.com and you can use two browsers to get two different sessions.

Beside the solutions suggested above, I recommend to use Firefox browser instead of Internet Explorer. It is more secure, you can open multiple pages in one window using different Tabs instead of opening multiple windows. you can open more all or some of your favorite web pages in one click.  \nHers is the link if you want to give Firefox a try: http://www.firefox.com

Internet Explorer on my CPU does the same thing sometimes. \nTo get around it, right click on the link and select "open in new window".

Make sure of 2 things\n1: within IE that you have tabbed browsing turned on\n2: the pop-up blocker is enabled and you don't have any sites listed in the allow list that shouldn't be there.\n\nIf you have a toolbar installed (yahoo or google) make sure that those pop-up blockers are activated, because they can sometimes over ride the built in blocker.\n\nAlso depends on the page itself as to how its written and in what form to allow or disallow right clicking within the page itself.  You also may not actually be getting pop-ups, rather they may be "extra pages" that are set to open when clicking or viewing certain content on certain websites.\n\nRun scans with anti-virus, anti-spy and double check.

Press F5. \n\nYou're probably using an older browser that doesn't update sites like yahoo automatically.

Yahoo is offering a version of IE7 from Microsoft.\nI liked IE6 better, IE7 took away the ability to move the toolbars around and it irritates me.\nIE7 does offer a good anti-phishing tool and other security improvements, but I findmyself using FF 2.0 more and more.

I'm not totally sure of what you're asking, but I'll give it a go.   We have IE7.  You open IE and your home page, for instance Yahoo, comes up immediately.  If you "pinned open" your Favorites list, that also comes up immediately. (Like IE6, you can either have Fav open or closed).\n\nAt this point, the tab in which Yahoo came up is not fixed.  Now, suppose you want to open Yahoo Answers, you can either (1) click on Answers and it replaces the home page in the same tab (so, at this point there is just one tab open, so it's akin to being on IE6 at this point), or (2) you can hold CTRL and then click Answers, which will open a new tab for Answers, or (3) you can click on a blue arrow next to Answers if in your Favorites, which will also open a new tab for Answers.  At this point, there is one tab open with the Yahoo home page and one tab open to Answers. \n\nYou can click and search around under the Yahoo tab without affecting the Answers tab, and vice versa.  It's essentially like having two IE's open at the same time, like you have to do in IE6.  Only it's much faster and once you get the hang of it, much much easier to get around.  For instance, you can be looking at something on a multiple page site and tab it for future viewing (it'll be in it's own tab), yet continue your browsing through that site.  You don't have to back-peddle through multiple pages to find it.  It's a thing of beauty!
