I mean, Firefox probably needs other software to make yahoo mail open in it. I'm
not familiar with yahoo services, so I don't know whether they provide such
software for Firefox, but I know there is Webmail Compose extension that does
what you need. If you need help with that, please post at

This is not a bug, resolving/invalid.
