Can't access Yahoo Mail with Firefox

...but I can with Internet Explorer. This has only just happened in the last couple of days. I always use Firefox but have never had problems before. I can get into the Yahoo main page but not into mail. I get this message: "Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at login.yahoo.com"

The only thing I can think of is that I have changed to the latest AVG Free 8.5 a couple of days ago. However I've used AVG for years and have never had a problem like this before. Maybe there's no connection.

Anyone got any ideas?

    Works fine for me (using Firefox 3.0.8/Vista/Antivir/Comodo Firewall).

    Have you tried turning AVG off, then try loggin into Yahoo Mail
    using Firefox ? This will rule out if it's a problem with AVG
