Yahoo mail redirects my email page to another trap page that asks me to upgrade. Is there an extension I can use to redirect from that site?
I would like to know if there's an extension, or if I need to write a script so that Firefox will stop a redirect to a trap yahoo page, that yahoo causes when I try to access my yahoo mail account. Yahoo redirects from my email page every time I try to access it. I can force my way back to email if I highlight the following from the address bar and delete it: /neo/trap?dm=cl&ncrumb=IvdoOqzobdy&.rand=1254591153
That address qualification appears when I try to access "mail.yahoo.com"
If there is no extension I can use, can you explain what I should use to write a script? And where I can research to learn how to write it.
If you could point me in the right direction I would really appreciate it.

hello tank34, this sounds like a problem possibly caused by malware on your pc. please go to firefox > addons > extensions & remove any suspicious entries (toolbars, things that you have not installed intentionally, don't know what purpose they serve, etc). also go to the windows control panel / programs and remove all toolbars or potentially unwanted software from there and do a full scan of your system with the security software that you have in place and different other tools like the free version of malwarebytes.
Unfortunately, that doesn't seem to be the case. This is yahoo trying to strong arm me into upgrading from "classic email" to their upgraded version with a bunch of crap I don't want. They seem to be phasing out the old version, while not giving me a choice. i don't have any toolbars installed, and my AV is up to date with no infections. It's a legitimate yahoo site it sends me to... Yahoo is just employing questionable tactics - Hence my need to take these silly/extreme measures.
ok, you could use the greasemonkey extension & this userscript: http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/113518 (i haven't tested it myself, but judging from the description it may apply to your case)
