I doubt it is a problem with Mozilla.
What ISP do you use? How are you sending mail? Do you just have a
standard-ish postfix/sendmail configuration, or do you relay your mail
through your ISP?
It sounds to me like Yahoo/Gmail etc are blocking your mail because
you are not an authorized mail server for your ISP's domain. That is
actually fairly standard anti-spam tactic nowadays. (Heck, AOL and
half of Taiwan even blocks mail from my ISP's official mail server.)
