Hi,
I use yahoo mail too and I use netscape webmail also I use netscape webmail more
though. And I did not have that problem in that bulid or in any other bulids. 
Try to upgrade to the most current bulid and tell me how it works.
My e-mail address is [e-mail] I tell you to ues my netscape one
because that one is dedicated to the mozilla bug reporting project.

Seeing exactly the same thing on OSX 2002112212.  Yahoo gives an error about the
browser not accepting cookies and sends you right back to the login page every
time you try to log in.

Would mark as such but do not have permission.
