Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 143810

(SeaMonkey :: Preferences, defect)

Description

[Ashok Tantradi]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; SunOS sun4u; en-US; rv:1.1) Gecko/20020827
Build Identifier: Mozilla/1.3a , 1.2.1 

 After you log into Yahoo Mail . You cannot access the inbox or anyother option as 
the page refreshes so often . When you look in the search field you see the 
address changing rapidly  that is :-

http://us.f131.mail.yahoo.com/ym/login?.rand=2omvtc01isk16

 In the above address the part after "rand=" changes so very often it keeps 
reloading the login page and does not allow you to go to inbox or any other
option within Yahoo Mail.

  This problem exists in 1.3a , 1.2.1 Mozilla releases . I rolled back to 1.2b 
and it works fine.

   Basically you cannot access Yahoo Mail using 1.3a and 1.2.1 versions because 
of above issue.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to yahoo mail (mail.yahoo.com)
2. Login using your user name and password
3. You should see the "rand=" part of search field changing rapidly which keeps
refreshing the page and hence you cannot goto inbox or any other option.

Actual Results:  
http://us.f131.mail.yahoo.com/ym/login?.rand=2omvtc01isk16

You should see the "rand=" part of search field changing rapidly which keeps 
reloading  the login page and hence you cannot goto inbox or any other option.


Expected Results:  
 The search address should stabilize on one address say 

http://us.f131.mail.yahoo.com/ym/login?.rand=2omvtc01isk16

 However you will notice the part after rand= keeps changing forever ; hence
reloading the login page preventing you from going into inbox or any other 
option.
