Do you accept all cookies ?

if yes: run "mozilla -profilemanager" and create an addional test profile.

[Damir Perisa]

accept all cookies := yes  also the new profile causes the same problem  (when i see the request-URLs it loops from 'home.netscape.com/?error=16' to 'my.screenname.aol.com/_cqr/login/login.psp')

Same thing has happened to me.  (Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US;
rv:1.0.0) Gecko/20020530)

Weird thing is that on my machine at work, it logged in correctly always, on my
home machine it never logged in correctly (always looped) then I got it to
work...for one day...and now today it's back to the login loop thing again.

Famous last words, but "I didn't change anything"

quotes app:

...which ends up at:
http://my.screenname.aol.com/_cqr/login/login.psp?siteId=CNNsn&authLev=1&mcState=initialized&triedAimAuth=y

Upgraged to 1.1b
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.1b) Gecko/20020721

...and it is working now on the machine I was having problems on previously. 
Trying an install on another machine (from scratch) will report back if there is
a problem there.
