144269 - Save link target doesn't work in Yahoo mail

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: Networking: Cookies, defect)

Description

[toorffej]

This is a regression from Mozilla 0.9.9

Reproduce:
1) go to yahoo mail, open your inbox to the list of messages.
2) right click on the message subject line, and choose "Save Link Target As..."
3) This will default to saving as ShowLetter.html
4) Open ShowLetter.html and it's an error message about an expired session.  I
believe this is related to cookie handling.

Note:
This works great under Mozilla 0.9.9.
Left-clicking to open the message in Mozilla works fine in all versions.

Do you have your cookies acceptance pref set to originating-server-only?

If so, although the symptoms are different, the patch just posted to bug 137079 
will probably fix this bug as well.  Can someone who can reproduce this bug 
please apply that patch and see if it takes care of this problem.

Turning off the "...originating web site only" cookie pref makes this work again.

If I can squeeze out some time, I'll try applying the patch from bug 137079 and
recompiling.

Or you can simply test this on the latest nightly.  The patch went into the 
trunk on May 13.

[toorffej]

This works fine in Build 2002051409.

Close this bug.

Being marked fixed since the patch for 137079 is checked in on trunk.  However 
it is not yet fixed on the branch.
