Howdy,
Whenever I try to compose an email using my Yahoo! Mail account the browser gets
into some sort of refresh loop, which I can only stop by hitting the "Stop"
button or closing the tab/window. I am running Windows XP on a Transmeta based
laptop. The version of Mozilla I am using is:
Mozilla 1.1
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.1) Gecko/20020826
I have BannerBlind and the following Java plug-ins:
1)
File name: NPJava11.dll

I have other plug-ins installed but I figure that the Java plug-ins are the only
relevent ones because I'm guessing Yahoo! Mail uses a fair amount of Java. Java
is enabled on my Preferences.
When I originally installed Mozilla, I did not have this problem. I was
fiddling around with the Preferences before this problem occurred (I don't
remember what I did, or I would have fixed it), but even if I did set some
parameter that I shouldn't have, the browser should not react in such a violent
way. There should at least be a button in the Preferences GUI that restores all
defaults.
As you can probably tell, I am not a programming expert so the only help I can
give you is to communicate what settings, plug-ins, etc. I have set.
Thanks in advance.
Hello again.
Immediately after filing this bug, I realized what I had done to cause this
problem. I had disabled Java from being able to read my cookies, which I now
know Yahoo! Mail needs. Unfortunately, I don't think this closes the bug
because the browser should not react in the manner it does. I've downgraded the
priority of this bug to trivial though.
Thanks.

The JS in the yahoo page cause a refresh if it can't rerad the cookie.
We can't do anything in this case

Isn't this really an enhancement request for Yahoo not to require cookies for mail?
I use Yahoo mail every day on multiple branch and trunk builds with cookies
enabled and have no problems.
Unless I am misinterpreting these bug reports, it would be best if you email
Yahoo customer support to say that you want them to offer an option to turn off
cookies.
I am marking this invalid, from an evangelism perspective as this was a choice
made by Yahoo in developing this product. If you find that in IE you *can* use
mail without cookies that's a different matter, and please tell me to reopen if so.
