The Reason Behind Not Accessing Yahoo On Mozilla
One can easily sign in to a Yahoo mail account and for that, you will need to enter the Yahoo account credentials. But if you are not able to sign to Yahoo on Firefox then, there might be chances that the browser is preventing you from signing into your Yahoo account. Check your internet connection and make sure if you can be able to sign in to your account on another web browser. If yes, then, move ahead with the troubleshooting step because there might be Firefox only behind this error.
Recognizing The Issue To Fix It
You will need to use a procedure to detect if Firefox prevents you from signing into Yahoo Mail. As we have discussed that, you can do that by signing to Yahoo email with a different web browser like IE. If login fails on that browser then, Yahoo might be down because of a temporary site issue. Wait and try to log in to the account again and on the account. If you sign in using another browser then, move ahead with the next solutions.
Check Yahoo Mail Account Password
If you aren’t able to sign in to your Yahoo account then, make sure that you are using the correct password and username. Firefox might be using an old password (auto-save) in the Password domain if you have set up Firefox to do it automatically. As the browser keeps the password hidden for security purposes hence, you cannot see it when it enters the password automatically.
Instead of allowing the browser to sign in automatically, you have to enter the password manually in the ‘Password txt box’ and then, click on ‘Sign in’. This issue usually occurs in case, if you have changed your password on a constant period and didn’t sign into the account from Mozilla.
Clear Cookies And Temporary Files From Mozilla
Yahoo and other websites collect information known as cookies for customizing the browsing experience. Firefox also keeps temporary data in the cache and hence, you might get stuck while signing to Yahoo. Clear the cache and cookies and you might be able to sign in to Yahoo Mail.
Do this by clicking on the ‘Firefox’ option that will be appeared in the ‘History’ and choose ‘Clear Recent History’ and then,
- You have to click on the ‘Time Range to Clear’ drop-down menu
- After that, click on ‘Everything’ to see an arrow appears next to ‘Details’ which will be in the list of items when you click on the arrow
- Click on that arrow and put the checkmark in the Cache and Cookies checkboxes and then, click on ‘Clear Now’
- Now, get back to the Yahoo page and log in again to Yahoo mail and clearing cookies and cache will fix the website issues
Enable Cookies On Firefox
Make sure that the Firefox cookies enable because you might not be able to sign into some of the Yahoo products if they are disabled as Yahoo notes. To enable cookies, you will need to-
- Click on the ‘Firefox’ and choose ‘Options’ to open the Options dialog window
- After that, click on the ‘Privacy’ tab and click on the ‘Firefox Will’ drop-down menu
- Choose the ‘Use Custom Settings for History’ option from the screen
- If you don’t see a checkmark in the ‘Accept Cookies from Sites’ check box
- See the drop-down menu to choose ‘Accept Third-Party Cookies’ option and click on ‘Always’ if that value isn’t chosen then, click on Ok and sign in to your Yahoo mail account
Check If There Is A Button Of Firefox Missing
Firefox provides a facility for the users to see the browser’s menu toolbar. You won’t see an orange Firefox button if that is visible but you still can get it opened on the Options dialog window and for that-
- Click on the ‘Tools’ followed by ‘Options’
- If your menu toolbar is visible, you can also simply click on ‘History’ if you have to clear the browser’s cookies and cache just by following a few steps given above.
