As of about 1 month ago, when I log into my Yahoo email account I no longer see the "flag" [this message] icon or the "attachment" [to the message] icon. The messages can be "flagged" but the icon that flags it cannot be seen, though flagged messages can be selected. Also, the icon showing that an unopened message has an attachment is missing, though once the email is opened the attachment is present. Following a suggestion I used Internet Explorer and the icons were present making this a bug in Firefox. I don't want to drop Firefox but unless I can find a fix...

  • A way to see which images are blocked is to click the favicon (Site Identification icon) on the left side of the location bar.
  • A click on the "More Information" button will open the Security tab of the "Page Info" window (also accessible via "Tools > Page Info").
  • Open the Media tab of the "Page Info" window.
  • Select the first image and scroll down though the list with the Down arrow key.
  • If an image in the list is grayed and there is a check-mark in the box "Block Images from..." then remove that mark to unblock the images from that domain.
