You need a Yahoo! mail account to test - I log in to my account and Mozilla
fails to display the main mail page. It just sends lots of requests and
constantly redraws the page. (The sidebar on the left is OK.)

I only get this problem with the nightly build, not with 1.1 or 1.0.1

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Setup Yahoo accoun
2. Go to Mail Home
3. Wait ... and wait ...

Actual Results:  
Page does not display

Expected Results:  
Display page like 1.1 or 1.0.1 does

I can't confirm this.  I just rebuilt from cvs what is basically 1.2a.  I
haven't had any problems logging in either standard or secure mode.  For me, the
process went like this:
 1. Go to Mail Home
 2. Login
 3. Load

Actual results: page loads.

Trying rebuilding using the most recent source and it should work.

Still seems to be a problem with 1.2 stable with Modern or Classic theme.
Steps to reproduce
1) Go to my.yahoo.com (or https://my.secure.yahoo.com/)
2) Log in
3) Click "Check email"
4) Problem ...
Note that I have the same problem with my yahoo.com account and my yahoo.co.uk
account.
This is on Redhat 7.2. I don't get the problem I had the problem intermittently
with 1.2b (couldn't pin it down) but it seems to happen all the time with this
latest version.
I accept yahoo cookies, but block some of their images.

Tracked the problem down to my JavaScript preferences.
If I enable "Allow scripts to read cookies" then the site works. Does this stay
as a bug, move to Evangelism or get cancelled?
