Yahoo messenger won't connect with Firefox. How do I fix the proxy settings to get it to work?
Troubleshooting on yahoo messenger says that it had a problem with the HTTP connection. It says to use IE to open tools and then go to internet options to verify my existing settings (proxy server settings). I'm not sure how to do this on Firefox. Thank you in advance.

Are you able to Sign-in and Connect your Yahoo! Messenger to the Internet ??
This is a problem of Yahoo! Messenger
Open Yahoo! Messenger -> go to Messenger Menu -> click Preferences -> Connection section -> select Radio Button Option1 "Connect Directly to the Internet" -> select the type of Internet Connection you are using (Dialup, BroadBand DSL/Cable, High Speed T1/LAN) -> select your Home Country -> click OK -> Exit Yahoo! Messenger
Now Restart Yahoo! Messenger. Check and tell if its working.
