Yahoo Mail & Firefox

Last year, I complained about the quality of customer service at Yahoo. My issue at the time was the mail editor in Yahoo Mail. It was a nice WYSIWYG HTML editor for IE, but a dumb, plain text editor for firefox. This was the one fly in the ointment of using firefox. A few weeks before the release of 1.5, I discovered Yahoo had finally fixed this. Imagine my surprise when, after upgrading to Firefox 1.5, the dumb editor was back. That's now been resolved too.

So I can now finally say there is absolutely no reason people shouldn't use the firefox browser. (And for users of the web interface to Yahoo Mail, I recommend the Viamatic WebMail++ extension to firefox. It makes reading email easier, though it too only has a dumb, plain text editor in the Instant Reply button.)
