160013 - mail.yahoo.com repeatedly asks me for login info

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(SeaMonkey :: UI Design, defect)

Description

[Daniel Wabyick]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; WinNT4.0; en-US; rv:1.1a) Gecko/20020611
BuildID:    2002061104


Trouble with logging into mail.yahoo.com, especially when form is navigated via
tab action. This only occurs in Mozilla 1.1 beta it appears, as I don't have any
problems using my work instance. This may be a Yahoo! browser detection bug and
not a mozilla bug.



Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
cenario: I am logged out of yahoo mail. I want to log in.

1)  I browse to mail.yahoo.com.
2) I tab to 'Yahoo-ID', enter username
3) I tab to 'Password', enter password
4) I tab to check 'remember my yahoo id', enter it.
5) I tab to the 'Sign In' button and click it.









Actual Results:  Instead of being logged in, yahoo forwards me to another login
page with 'Verify my yahoo password to continue.' 

Expected Results:  I should have been logged in. 


What is odd is if I COMPLETELY sign out, and then click-enter every field and
not tab, it works successfully.

Works for me in 1.1. Maybe you have some cookie blocking interference. Try with
a fresh profile.

WFM with 2002090704/trunk/win2k.

reporter (Daniel): can you reproduce this bug with a recent build of mozilla
(for example, 1.1)? if so, please comment again with details (including your
cookie preferences). if not, please resolve this bug as WORKSFORME. thanks.

It still didn't work for me in 1.1a, but when I switched back to 1.1 it worked
fine. If you guys think its potentially still a prob in that build you can
re-open it.
