Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 177426

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Steven]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20021130 WebWasher 3.2
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20021130 WebWasher 3.2

After I log in to yaho mail and try to access my folders, the page starts to
load and I get the following at the top of the page:

var oKey = new ylib_keyevt();
oKey.addKey(67,-1,"location='http://us.f105.mail.yahoo.com/ym/ShowFolder?rb=Inbox&YY=63560&YN=1'","shift+ctrl");
// Check Mail | CTR

The page then keeps trying to reconnect to yahoo and the same thing happens.  I
have to hit the Stop button and use another browser to see my mail.  This
started after I upgraded from Mozilla 1.1 directly to 1.2.1

I had Webwasher turned off too and the same thing would happen

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.log onto yahoo mail
2. go to bulk mail folder
3.

Actual Results:  
see above in details

Expected Results:  
should have loaded page properly

was using default theme. Webwasher was both active and inactive when error occurred.

do you have cookies enabled?

I observed this in both 1.1 and 1.2.1 from the main Y! Mail welcome page (didn't
have to go into Bulk Mail).  I checked and I had cookie reads disabled.  I
enabled and it works fine now.  Thanks.

I have experienced the same problem off and on in Moz 1.01, 1.1, and 1.2.1 on
Linux. Once I allowed scripts to read cookies (under preferences – Advanced -
Scripts & Plugins), this issue disappeared.
