165742 - Mozilla will not allow me to login to persoanl accounts such as My Yahoo or My MSN...

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 165816

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Greg Corbo]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows 98; T312461)
Build Identifier: Mozilla 1.1 (Beta ?)  Build ID#  2002061104

Windows 98 SE. Penitum III 700 Mhz. 260 MB RAM.  **PC also has Internet 
Explorer 6.0 installed on it **  Mozilla 1.1 seems like a good browser
to this point, except that I have tried get into 3-4 different sites
on which I have personal accounts and cannot login. After I put in my
correct user ID and password and click on login,  Mozilla tries to connect
but cannot.  It eventually returns a message of "timed out trying to access..."

Here is an example URL  (this one is to login to My MSN): 
http://my.msn.com/my.ashx?CnQs=1

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to page with ID and password login
2. Enter normal ID and password for the particular system
3. Click GO or LOGIN as required

Actual Results:  
Mozilla browser just keeps trying and trying to connect to
these sites login pages...  but cannot. It eventually times out.

Expected Results:  
Be able to login to the personal account site (can get into all these
personal account sites with Netscape Comm ver 4.78 or Internet Explorer
5.5 or 6.0)

** Not sure this is even a "bug" by definition. I checked settings
(Mozilla has MANY settings) - especially the Security settings. It
appears that everything is set to allow access to all sites, and nothing
is set to "block" anything...

But, not being familiar with Mozilla - perhaps there is SOMETHING I NEED
TO SET that will allow Mozilla 1.1 to properly connect to web sites that
have Login ID /Password...

This is not a Bugzilla bug; this is a MOzilla bug.
