There should be no correlation between installing firefox and messenger. I have had both for years with no problems. If you recently installed Messenger 7.5 Beta, then you could be having problems. If so download version 7.0 here:\n\nhttp://www.oldapps.com/yahoo_messenger.htm

Have you tried downloading the latest version?  If not, download it from messenger.yahoo.com.\n\nIf you have just recently updated and that caused a problem, delete the program and install an older version (you can usually find this on the Yahoo Messenger website, also.  A Yahoo search can even help you find an older version, if need be.

Yahoo! Messenger Connection Issues\nIf the problem persists, your Messenger connection information may be incorrect.\n\n   1. Open the Login menu in Messenger.\n   2. Click on Preferences, then click on the Connection tab.\n   3. Click on No network detection, then hit the OK button at the bottom.\n   4. Messenger will ask you if you want to try to log on with your new proxy settings. Click the Yes button.\n   5. When prompted, enter your ID and password, then hit the Login button.\n\nIf that doesn't work, follow these steps:\n\n   1. Open the Login menu in Messenger.\n   2. Click on Preferences, then click on the Connection tab.\n   3. Click on Firewall with no proxies, then hit the OK button at the bottom.\n   4. Messenger will ask you if you want to try to log on with your new proxy settings. Click the Yes button.\n   5. When prompted, enter your ID and password, then hit the Login button.\n\nThe above configuration will work in almost any situation. However, if you connect in this way, you won't be able to use the Voice Chat feature.\n\nIf neither of the above options work, you're probably behind a firewall or proxy server that requires you to enter its address. Follow these steps:\n\n   1. Open the Login menu in Messenger.\n   2. Click on Preferences, then click on the Connection tab.\n   3. Click on Use proxies. Here you can enter your firewall and/or proxy server's address and port number. Contact your network administrator (if you're at work), or your Internet service provider (if you're at home) to determine the correct firewall and proxy settings.

Do you have a firewall running? There is a good possibility your yahoo messenger program is being blocked, but your browser is not.

First, uninstall the verion you have by going to control panel then add/remove programs. Then go to http://www.oldapps.com/yahoo_messenger.htm and download version 7.0 It should work then.\nAlso, make sure you have the latest version of Java, which is needed for some Yahoo things to work. Get that here\nhttp://www.java.com/en/download/windows_xpi.jsp

I also have firefox, however, I do not have that problem.  Perhaps you disabled Java script?  That was the only time I had problems with yahoo.  If that is so, then simply enabling java scripts for yahoo and any other scripts that is used by that page should do the trick.

Hmm.. Your question is very ambigous as what Messenger are you talking about : Msn or Yahoo ? and what is the actual problem you are facing .. ?\nAnyways you might wanna try the newest version of Yahoo Messenger again to see if the installer was corrupt. Download it from : \nhttp://www.softpedia.com/get/Internet/Chat/Instant-Messaging/Yahoo-Messenger.shtml

First, I'd recommend uninstalling your Messenger and downloading and installing the newest verson from Yahoo!  When you do this, though, you might have a corrupt file in your Yahoo! Messenger directory. To fix the problem, you must manually delete the "Messenger" directory on your C: drive (default), then reinstall the Yahoo! Messenger application.\n\nTo delete the directory:\nClose the Yahoo! Messenger application if you currently have it running. Make sure all instances of Internet Explorer are closed. \nGo to your desktop and double-click "My Computer." \nClick the "C:" drive. \nGo to:\nC:&#92;Program Files&#92;Yahoo!\nHighlight the Yahoo! Messenger folder and press the Delete key on your keyboard. (All archives will be deleted if they are not copied. Please see below.)\n\nTo install:\nClose all running applications except for your Internet browser.\nVisit the Yahoo! Messenger home page.\nClick the "Download Now" button.\n\nTo copy your complete Message Archive:\nClose Yahoo! Messenger (if it is currently running). \nGo to your Desktop and double-click "My Computer." \nSelect the "C:" drive. \nGo to:\nC:&#92;Program Files&#92;Yahoo!&#92;Messenger&#92;Profiles\nYour "Profiles" folder contains your complete Message Archive. Copy it to the same location on another computer if you wish to view it elsewhere.\n\nNote: If you copy this folder to another computer, your complete Message Archive will be copied, overriding the Message Archive on the computer to which you are copying.\n-------------------------------------------------------------\nAfter that, if you still have problems, make sure that you have the latest version of Macromedia's Flash Player installed, as Messenger uses certain Flash components on startup.  \n\nBeyond that, your Yahoo! Messenger connection information may be incorrect. Follow these steps to configure your connection:\nClick the "Messenger" menu in Yahoo! Messenger and select "Connection Preferences."\nEnable the "Firewall with no proxies" option.\nSelect the correct Internet connection type and country from the pull-down menus.\nClick the "OK" button at the bottom of the window.\nYahoo! Messenger will ask you if you want to sign in again with your new proxy settings. Click the "OK" button.\nEnter your Yahoo! ID and password and click the "Sign In" button.\n\nThe above configuration works in most situations. (However, if you connect in this way, you won't be able to use the Voice feature.) If this configuration doesn't work, follow these steps:\nClick the "Messenger" menu in Yahoo! Messenger and select "Connection Preferences."\nEnable the "No network detection" option and then click the "OK" button at the bottom of the window.\nYahoo! Messenger will ask you if you want to sign in again with your new proxy settings. Click the "OK" button. \nEnter your Yahoo! ID and password and click the "Sign In" button.\n\nIf neither of the above options work, you're probably behind a firewall or proxy server that requires you to enter its address. Follow these steps:\nClick the "Messenger" menu in Yahoo! Messenger and select "Connection Preferences."\nEnable the "Use proxies" option. \nEnter your firewall or proxy server's address and port number. Contact your network administrator (if you're at work), or your Internet service provider (if you're at home) to determine the correct firewall and proxy settings.\nClick the "OK" button at the bottom of the window.\nYahoo! Messenger will ask you if you want to sign in with your new proxy settings. Click the "OK" button.\nEnter your Yahoo! ID and password and click the "Sign In" button. \n------------------------------------------------------\nIf you try all of the steps above and Yahoo! Messenger

1.  Try restarting your computer.  Open Yahoo messenger before you open other programs, it may be conficting with another program you have running.\n\n2.  Uninstall and reinstall Yahoo Messenger.  \n\n3.  Try a third party program (like Trillian or Qnext) and see if you can connect to Yahoo from there.  If you can, then the problem is definitely your install of Yahoo Messenger.

Just upgrade to the latest messenger.\n\nThat will fix the problem.

Well, the fact that Firefox is sort of partnered with Google doesn't mean that IE is partnered with Yahoo!\n\nMaybe Microsoft partnered with Yahoo!, but in only one product, being the messenger service, where Yahoo! Messenger users and MSN Messenger users shall be able to communicate together regardless to the Messenger used. Thats why both messengers are still in Beta:\n- Yahoo! Messenger with Voice Beta (version 8);\n- Windows Live! Messenger 8.0 Beta.\n\nConcerning some sites that are not cross-platform, I primarily use Firefox, but have IE 7 Beta and Opera 9.0 Beta installed!!\n\nFor those who don't want to change from Firefox to IE but want to view the sites that are designed for IE only, simply install the latest IE (to have a widest possible website support), then install the IE-Firefox extension, which basically uses the IE Active-X in Firefox to view IE-based websites in Firefox.\n\nThe extension is available on the following link:\nThrough Firefox Addons pages:\nhttps://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/1419/\nIE-Tab Projects homepage:\nhttp://ietab.mozdev.org/
