Firefox, Yahoo Mail but no Contacts.

[Deleted User]

If you use Firefox for Yahoo Mail on your phone, it appears to have somehow removed the option to access Contacts. Using other browsers or the app, they're available. Has anyone figured a way round this pkease?

Well I don't know what you're doing but I've just stuck Firefox on my Android phone, signed in, went to write an email and I can see all the contacts.

In the default mobile view you need to click on the + on the right of the To/CC fields.

If you go to the three dots bottom left and select Desktop Site, the contacts appear as you type.

Why not use the Yahoo Mail app?

Type your commentUsing the browser version and touching the +, I do indeed get contacts but not my address book of email addresses.
 If I is the app, then the address book of email addresses Are available.

The difference being with the app comes adverts. With Firefox browser, no ads.

Wow, using Firefox browser with no email addresses available, I Did touch the three dots, down to desktop site, started to type to, recipient, the name /email came up. Went back to mobile page and the recipient was there in drafts. So indirectly I'm there. Thanks.

Why not use an email app with no ads that you link to the Yahoo account?  Then you get see your email with an app specifically designed for that task and there will be no issues with contact access.

Circumstances dictated I sat in today, so experimented trialling browsers, Brave, Opera, Avast then Vivaldi. The latter performed for me, best. So I'm enjoying this for the moment. As for the Yahoo Mail issue, it's surprising how many folk asked the question regarding the lost link to  email contacts so at least I know it wasn't just me. I have the link on Vivaldi.
