Yahoo Mail Problem

[tman801]

I am running Ubuntu 16.04 64 bit with Mate desktop with all current updates. I am using Pale Moon 27.7.1. I try to mark mail in Yahoo to delete and it opens the mail instead. I cannot delete the mail or move it to another folder. I can do all this in Thunderbird or any other browser. It is just Pale Moon that is not working with Yahoo Mail. Is there something I can do to get it working right?

After reading your post, I went to my Hotmail email account, typed an email to myself for my Yahoo email address using 64 bit linux Pale Moon 27.7.1 running in 64 bit linux Mint 18.3 (Sylvia) Xfce. Then I went to my Yahoo Mail and my test email was there from Hotmail. I read the email, then check marked it. I then clicked on "Delete" and the email was deleted. I also did this same thing with another junk type email, but I didn't open the junk email and when I clicked on "Delete" again, the unread email was deleted. BTW, I use the old Yahoo "Basic".

I have only two extensions installed. The old NoSquint 2.1.9.1 and Adblock Latitude (4.0.1). I haven't modified linux Pale Moon very much by using "about:config" and since I can't reproduce what you're experiencing, I don't think this is a linux Pale Moon problem.

Thanks for replying Night Wing.
I tried the same thing again in Linux in Pale Moon safe mode and still have my same problem. Since I am dual booting W10 & Ubuntu 16.04 I booted into W10 and got the same problem using Pale Moon.

Update on my problem with Yahoo mail and Pale Moon.
I have 3 desktop computers running w10 and Ubuntu 16.04 all currently updated. I have one old laptop that was going to be thrown away as being too old. I put Ubuntu 16.04 on it and it runs fine for me. One computer I have hooked up to my TV. Both this computer and the laptop connect via WiFi and I can access Yahoo mail fine. I can put a check mark on any mail and can move or delete as I choose. The other 2 desktop computers, one newer, one older are both direct wired and will not let me do anything in Yahoo mail except open the mail when I try to put in a check mark. So I unhooked the direct connection on the older one and connected via WiFi. Still no joy.
I took a spare HD and installed Ubuntu 16.04 on it and connected via WiFi, then installed Pale Moon and opened Yahoo Mail and got the same results. Still can not put in a check mark on individual mail. I even installed Mate and still get the same results.
I don't know if the problem is Yahoo's or Pale Moon.

I finally said the heck with it and deleted both of my yahoo accounts.
