    Uncommanded Yahoo Mail Popups

     
    A bit of a strange one here: I'm running Windows 7 and Firefox. My Yahoo is my homepage but I do not use Yahoo mail. During the last few days, the Yahoo mail site has been popping up, uncommanded, on my browser. If I don't close the tab, it will continue to pop up every few minutes until I have a series of Yahoo mail pages open. Any idea how I can stop this (without deleting my Yahoo account--I want to keep My Yahoo and just get rid of the mail function.
    Thanks

    You don't need an account to visit Yahoo.com .... Are you "signing in?" If so, try signing out and see if that helps.

    Yahoo AFAIK doesn't have any pop-ups, even when logged in. Have you checked for malware, adware, viruses ect??
