if you enter your login/password and want to enter yahoo! mail, you can't
because the button doesn't do a thing.

Reproducible: Sometimes
Steps to Reproduce:
1.enter login/password
2.press "sign in" button


Actual Results:  page should be processed/sent but nothing happens.

Expected Results:  submit the form and login.

maybe the onsubmit-function makes problems?

<form method=post action="https://login.yahoo.com/config/login?5jm00ovgoolas"
autocomplete=off name=login_form onsubmit="return
hash(this,'http://login.yahoo.com/config/login')">

the button definition.
<input name=".save" type="submit" value="Sign In">

Are there any errors in the JS console?

If you go to

Edit > Preferences > Privacy and Security, is there an SSL tab?

there isn't a SSL tab...

That means that you don't have PSM installed.  Hence you cannot follow https://
links.

Make sure you install PSM, then try this.

well, i don't use SSL-login... so i assume it should work fine.

interesting: the javascript console says something about that the "hash" is not
defined (ERROR).

<form method=post action="https://login.yahoo.com/config/login?5jm00ovgoolas">

So whether you're using ssl login or not you need ssl to login.  all not using
ssl does is send your password in the clear while requesting a secure page (what
an idiotic setup!)

hash not being defined is likely not helping, but I doubt that's the real
problem you see...

i wonder why this isn't in the standard package... i installed browser only...

downloaded PSM, works fine now.
