My Yahoo in the New Firefox loads and displays just fine, including
the preview of the mail. But when I click to open the mail, a screen
announces that the My Yahoo Mail beta does not support by the new
Firefox, and my only choices are to regress to Firefox 1.5, use
another browser entirely, or regress to an earlier version of Yahoo
Mail. Any suggestions? Maybe Yahoo and/or Firefox will get up to
speed on this soon?

Opens fine here with Firefox-2.0.0.4.
Which version of firefox you are using ?

Your mail header shows that you are using Firefox-2.0.0.0 [Mozilla/5.0
(Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1) Gecko/20061010
Firefox/2.0,gzip(gfe),gzip(gfe) ] which is not the latest version.

All the better because the problem came up with Fx 2.0,
but maybe for those who did update to 2.0.0.4 it would be
helpful to know what they updated from.

a few more links on my page to newsgroup threads, but I
think the above links to the solution.

Yahoo Mail Beta has worked fine for me with each Firefox 2.0 and each
succeeding update, including the current 2.0.0.4. But I do not have the
NoScript extension that the mozillazine article mentions.
