Why Do you can't view Yahoo profiles ?

This is likely due to the program associations problem you reported in bug 276747
-- that is, Yahoo is trying to open with Firefox, but can't find the browser so
it reports 'url not found'.  

Note that, at bug 276747, you've been asked some followup questions about how
you removed firefox --- 

I believe you can use the windows control panel to set "Internet Explorer as
your default browser." If you do that, then I suspect your problem will go away.
Alternatively, you could re-install firefox.
