Is Yahoo! Mail officially dead letter (extinct) with PaleMoon?

1. Delete all folders from "C:\Users\USER_NAME\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\..." ( NOT from Roaming folder - see image below ):

In the guide above, I made a mistake: instead of highlighting the "AppData" folder, I should have highlighted the "Local" folder from the PATH to Firefox Profile where the "Cache" folders are located:

1. Delete all folders from "C:\Users\USER_NAME\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\profile_with_cache_data\..." ( NOT from the Firefox Profile accessed via Roaming - see image below ):

Here is where you need to go through "Local" instead of "Roaming":

I have not been able to get the add-on to work. I was able to download and install the add-on. One of your comments says the plug-in should be version 1.2, but my download from the "latest download link shows version 1.1.

I am using Windows 7 Professional 64 bit installed in a virtual machine on a Windows 10 PC. I have Firefox 62.0 installed. I was able to set the path to firefox and the cookies.sqlite. When I click on the link to open yahoo mail in the alternate browser, the plugin opens firefox. I enter my firefox user name and password, I notice that the password firefox shows me when i click reveal password, is incorrect. I enter the correct password and click the login button. The circling arrows icon comes up and does not go away.

This exactly the same problem I have when I click the regular yahoo mail link in Pale Moon, except Pale Moon already has the correct password saved.

Please help.

As I said in the post with the last download link, I created a new add-on with the name "Yahoo Login with Encrypted Firefox Cookies" This add-on has the latest version 1.1 and is different from the previous one, which was called "Yahoo Login with Firefox Cookies" and had the latest version 1.2. It is recommended to use the add-on "Yahoo Login with Encrypted Firefox Cookies 1.1" because it encrypts cookies, unlike the add-on "Yahoo Login with Firefox Cookies 1.2".

I don't know what's happening on your end, but if you can't "sign in" to Yahoo on Firefox either, then you won't be able to use my add-on, because it relies on cookies loaded by Yahoo in Firefox after a successful "sign in".

Please try again with the following steps (I tested this sequence once again today before posting this comment):

1. Delete all folders from "C:\Users\USER_NAME\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\..." ( NOT from Roaming folder - see image below ):

2. "Clear Data" and "Clear History" in Firefox and then close Firefox.

3. Use the add-on with option "Open Yahoo Login in Backup Browser". This is what Yahoo "sign in" looks on my Firefox after clicking on the add-on option "Open Yahoo Login in Backup Browser" ( the URL should be https://login.yahoo.com ):

4. Yahoo asked me to confirm my identity:

5. After successfully signing in to Yahoo, I opened the Yahoo Mail page in Firefox:

6. I closed Firefox and then clicked on the "Get Yahoo Login Cookies From Backup Browser + Set Cookies in Pale Moon" option from the add-on button.

7. I opened Yahoo Mail in Pale Moon with the "Open Yahoo Mail - Inbox with Backup Browser Cookies" option from the add-on button:

Important !

After making a Yahoo Login in Firefox and opening the Yahoo Mail page, you should close Firefox without doing "Sign Out" from Yahoo Mail.

Do not make "Sign Out" from "Yahoo Mail" in Pale Moon, either. Just close the Yahoo Mail page and delete the cookies belonging to Yahoo. You can delete Yahoo cookies because they will be saved in "prefs.js" file and will be reloaded in Pale Moon when needed.

When cookies saved in "prefs.js" expire, you must login to Yahoo Mail in Firefox again, then copy (again) the new cookies to Pale Moon.

I had to update Firefox to get it working. Now it is working. Thank your for this add-on!

You're welcome, LambdaFox! I'm glad you find it useful.

The latter’s web client is the only way for me that I know, using Claws Mail, to reject unwanted messages according to manual filters…

I should add sending from an alias address. Often, I will write the draft in Claws Mail, but change the address in webmail.
