I tried yahoo with firefox3 on 7.2-RELEASE-p2 amd64 without problems.

Are your ports up-to-date? Use portsnap(8) [first time: 'portsnap fetch
extract', afterwards 'portsnap fetch update'] to update your ports tree and
then portmaster(8) ['portmaster -a -B -d'].

If your ports are up-to-date, try rebuilding libX11 and the ports it
depends on ['portmaster -f -x libX11'].
