I use two browsers, free pale Moon (firefox base browser) with adblock edge & free comodo Dragon (chrome base browser) with ABP, I can use Yahoo question with comodo Dragon but not with Pale Moon.

Yahoo generates income from ads (the current revenue model of the 'Net, so it's not unusual) which they have co-mingled with some of the functionality of the 'Answers' components.
Boosting revenue is the name of the game.
I'm using Firefox, and have no issues however (with ABP).

It makes sense, but I use adblock plus and it have never blocked me from answering questions.
