FireFox and YahooMail Interface
I've noticed that in my Yahoo Mail Inbox if I click on the 'Move' or 'Mark' buttons, or any infact that give a drop down menu, this menu will not show up. But these menus do show up in in Konqurer, I'm wondering if there is a fix for this?

what version of firefox are you using? it seems to be working fine for me on mozilla 1.7.5, but i don't have firefox installed currently so i can't try it out. but i'd imagine it should work if you have the newest version of firefox installed (1.0).

Send a message via Yahoo to vern
I am running Firefox 1.0 Rev 1.7.5, I do have the drop down menus in Yahoo mail. I have to physically click on Mark and Move to see the dropdowns.

this is firefox on my machine currently. it's version 1.0 on FreeBSD installed through the FreeBSD ports, but it shouldn't differ from the Linux version. i have no plugins installed as you can see from the output of aboutlugins, so it doesn't require anything special to get the dropdown menus. to get the menu i have to physically click on it, but it works fine.

where did you get firefox from? the official site or is a distro-specific rpm or something?

I have the official version from the FireFox site.

I had a look at the plugins in firefox, I had the one sether has and a Flash one and a Real player one, but no Java.

I looked at the Konqurer plugins and it has all that FireFox has but it does have Java installed;

I have been physicly clicking on the button but it does nothing,

I'll look into getting the Java plugins working in FireFox;

Thanks
