I'm no expert, but it seems extremely unlikely to me that this is 
Yahoo's problem, especially since you imply that it has been going on 
for some time and you have a recent Firefox.  If I had to guess, I would 
say that it sounds like a problem on your end with Javascript.  You 
might try disabling that and see if that "fixes" it.  Obviously, this 
would only hide the problem, unless you are happy to live without 
Javascript, but could be a useful point of information.

Also, I download my Yahoo mail with fetchyahoo so that I don't have to 
go on their web interface at all -- just a suggestion in case you are 
interested.
