‘Two questions: (1) could not find the 'Report Abuse " option.

(2) I had a Yahoo/AT&T email come thru that was obviously a scam, but none of the filters caught it; can i forward the email to Firefox so Firefox can block that IP address from ever getting through to me ? Or must I rely on the questionable Yahoo Spam filter?

Thank you, Mike

Hi Mike, Mozilla does not process your email, it goes directly from the sending server to Yahoo. So there's no way Mozilla could block it from showing up in your mailbox.

Are you reading your emails in Firefox (web browser) or in Thunderbird (stand-alone email program)?
