    Spinning Blue Circle while typing an e-mail in yahoo mail

    My wife recently had this problem on her Mac Air using Safari & Yahoo Mail-lagging cursor,

    spinning wheel, to the point it made the email virtually useless. I never have had it on my iMac.

    I decided to use Firefox, and it worked.

    FIREFOX TO ACCESS YAHOO EMAIL

    (Clears up lagging cursor, spinning wheel)

    · Download Firefox

    · Open Firefox

    · Go to Firefox preferences

    · Select “Search” from the left side menu

    · Under “Default Search Engine” select “Yahoo”

    Close Firefox

    · Reopen Firefox

    · You are now in search mode in Firefox

    · Click on the big blue arrow for “Search”- auto takes you to Yahoo,

    · Click the “mail” icon in upper right corner-takes you straight to Yahoo In Box

    · So far have no problems, opening and replying, composing and sending.

    If IE and Firefox would join, we might have a pretty decent browser. My 2 cents

    As if there is no way to change the default search engine manually.





    It would have been better if they use Duck-Duck-Go. A more secure search engine.

    They keep making the wrong decisions. First ads and now this. Yahoo hasn't been relevant for many years. I agree with DDG as an alternative.

    They probably didn't have a choice. Google was paying them $300 million a year. Either Google didn't want to renew or Yahoo offered a better deal.

    Or Google doesn't need firefox. Because they know, no matter what browser anyone prefers, Google is like an instinct when it comes to finding answers online.

    Google probably recouped their loses and got the heck outta there and Yahoo probably jumped all over it!
    Problem is now you'll probably see tons of 'tabloid' and 'social site' laden pages in results! *Sad

    However, it's not hard to change default search engines and delete the rest, (knock on wood!)
    You could even delete search plugins if need be.

    Mozilla and Yahoo are looking at most users which have no idea you can change search engines in a browser.
    They use what ever is there and think no more of it.

    I know a couple in my neighbourhood who follow that rule. They use the web mail that comes with their ISP, and rarely change default things.

    Yahoo pretty much sucks so that's a bad deal,
    In any case I suppose it's an easy thing to change :/

    Good thing I downloaded Firefox yesterday and have the settings so it will alert me to updates and not update search engines *Wink
