Yahoo e mail scrambled and not legible

Again, if things work totally fine in Edge, then its something in firefox. Please uninstall all extensions in firefox and try for a day and see what happens. Even your adblocker. We have nothing else to go on except that its only happening in firefox. Also, if you use a different web browser for a full day and nothing happens then you can assume its firefox and most likely an extension causing the issue.
You can disable ublock for any page you visit. However, I'm using ublock and have no problems with my yahoo mail. But somehow your extension is causing an issue. You might want to try uninstalling firefox, reboot windows and then install firefox fresh and see what happens. You might lose bookmarks and saved logins though. But thats what I would try next.
You didn't even try uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox like John suggested.
Okay, done
johnb35 Nothing I do seems to help, it's still the same. The only thing that helps is using a different browser, Edge . Why did this happen all of a sudden ? Also why are there different colors as well , pink ? Could Microsoft be doing this to get people to use their browser, Edge ,instead of another browser ? I disabled extensions, I reinstalled Firefox , nothing fixed it .
Don't disable, uninstall them. As I said before, I use firefox and ublock and have no problems with my yahoo mail even though I never use it.
I bet if you try chrome it will be ok as well. Has nothing to do with edge and mostly to do with firefox. What version of windows 10 are you on? How long has this been going on? Was there a windows update recently that could have caused this? The only other thing I can say is to take it in to a computer repair shop and have them figure out what it may be. If you have the time, do a fresh install of windows and I bet the issue will be gone. Have you ran any type of temp file cleaner such as Ccleaner. I always recommend that as well.
That's what I was thinking. Maybe there was a windows 10 update and windows made it so that it would only be compatible with Edge ? How do I check the version of windows 10 that I have ? I think it started months ago and kept getting worse. Is there any reason that you use Firefox instead of Edge ? I have Windows Version 2004 .

This conspiracy theory needs to stop, Windows updates can cause many issues. To check to see what build you are on,
- Select the Start button and then select Settings .
- In Settings, select System > About
In my case I have 20h2
For me it says that I have version 2004. So what now ?
johnb35 Quote from the internet " Some websites are not compatible with the browser ( Firefox )" Could this be the cause of what I am experiencing ? The odd thing is, why did it just start happening recently and I have been using Firefox over a decade ? I set my default browser to Edge now because I am tired of this battle using Firefox

And where are you seeing this?
Update to the latest version, go to settings, update and recovery and there should be an option to download and install 20h2.
Okay, I just downloaded and installed version 20h2.
John, So I thought that now it was finally fixed because I checked my Yahoo mail using Firefox . No issues and then I put U block back and it was corrupted again. I guess that means that I will stick with Edge because it has no problems with U block and I wouldn't really want to have to deal with all those ads.
