Yahoo Msgr is a standalone program but, does the program have any hooks into Internet Explorer, FireFox, etc?

I'm just concerned it will hook itself into IE somehow, and screw things up.

The latest Firefox always would crash on me when I visited my Yahoo! Mail. One possible reason is the bug caused by the stand alone Yahoo! Messenger application. The Yahoo! Application State plugin must be turned off for Y-mail to work properly.





Try the following:





(1)Type "about:plugins" in the Location Bar of your Firefox browser and press Enter. A list of installed plugins should come up.





(2)Look for "Yahoo! Application State" ("npYState.dll") in the installed plugins list.





(3)If the file is listed, close Firefox completely. Open the C:\Program Files\Yahoo!\shared folder then rename the file "npYState.dll" to "XnpYState.dll". This will disable the plugin.





Restart your browser and test your Y-mail. Good luck.
Reply:no it shouldn't. i've been using messenger and IE for years with no problems.
