Is Javascript (still) enabled in your Mozilla "Preferences"?
It's under the "Advanced" options.

Does the Mozilla "Help / About Plug-ins" page show that the
Java plug-in is loaded and enabled?

I don't know about Yahoo, but many web sites use Java and/or
Javascript to perform the fancy menu/windowing features you see.
So, the version and state of your installed Java might be
important.
