If you have spam-blocking software, tell it this one is spam.
Then delete it.
That's all I would do.

Do not try to open it, but just trash both of them. Watch for it reoccurring and write down what you were doing. Yahoo used to download blank documents ever so often on my machine. It finally stopped but don't know why.
There are people on this list that will start gagging when I say this but I love Little Snitch. I had to train it, but afterwards, no app on my machine can communicate with the web unless I ok it first. If an app can't communicate w the web, it can't try and download from the web without my ok. If an app can't communicate with the web, the creator of the app never knows about me, they are blind to me. But like I say, I will get alot of crap for suggesting Little Snitch. But I adore it.

Flash does work on G5's, just perhaps not the current version thereof.
Anyway to check your FF Add-ons, go to the Tools drop-down > then Add-ons
> there update all the add-ons you have, and then disable all of them.
Not all add-ons get updated as their developer sometimes stops
programming and the add-on gets obsolete. If the new add-on is not
compatible with the current FF, then go to the add-ons website and then
to the respective developers' to get earlier versions.
Once you have done all this, activate the first half of the add-ons and
relaunch FF; then go to the offending website(s) and see if the yellow
band disappears.
If not, then disable half of those add-ons and relaunch FF and do it all
again, eliminating the bad ones.
If yes, then you know that the problem lies with the 2nd half/set.
Eliminate the problem, rather than just disabling the offending add-on.
It's a bit more work, but takes the problem out of the equation.
I use both Firefox and Safari and that takes care of most website
issues, though I prefer the privacy plug-ins available for FF that are
not compatible with Safari.
I am now running an Intel mac, but also have G4 and G5 macs running
older FF versions for their generation, to run old apps that are still
in my workflow that have not been updated to Lion or Mt Lion

Flash works fine on my G5...just not the latest version. I'm not sure if it's because it's a G5, or if it's because I'm using an older OSX (4.6.11).
