    This is apparently an issue for Firefox users when accessing Yahoo and some ad server website called worthathousandwords.com. Simply download and install adblock plus addon from www.mozilla.com (selecting easylist(usa) duing the install) and this problem will go away. Shame on Yahoo for allowing this 2-bit company to serve ads for itself.

    If you are somewhat technical you may also want to do the following too:

    Open "C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\HOSTS" in notepad

    add the following line:

    127.0.0.1 js.worthathousandwords.com

    save the file and reboot.

    I find it absurd of both companies to let this error go live without proper testing.

    Hope that helps...

    Thats because its not an endemic, its popup/junk mail and also you should actually have undercover agent ware on your computing device you in undemanding words must be operating one virus application right away through the way, once you've better then one operating jointly it motives a conflict. you want to get a pop up blocker to give up the junk mail and popups it quite is what it quite is, yahoo has one for free yet there are plenty available on line, windoews has one too on xp and that i do not recognize abt vista. you should also test your computing device for undercover agent ware typically, you could also receive a number of those courses for free. I actually have connected hyperlinks for both for you. between the staggering and it has a free version is spybot
