I recently updated the software on my Mac. I transferred Firefox back to my Mac after everything was wiped. After that everytime I tried to click on open emails in Yahoo the message "bad request" pops up. So, I have just downloaded the latest Firefox and the same thing keeps happening.

As a result I can't open my emails in Firefox.
