Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 143810

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[mawatt]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20021130

When clicking the email icon at http://yahoo.com the page continually tries to 
reload and never gets to the login page.  It does load when using Microsoft 
Internet Explorer.  This is identical to bug# 191652 except I am using 
Microsft XP instead of Windows 98. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Go to www.yahoo.com
2.click email icon at the top of page just to the right of center.  This 
should take you to the sign-in page but doesn't
3.You will need to set up or have an email account with yahoo and I 
have "remember my ID on this computer" checked on the sign-in page  

Actual Results:  
it continually reloads and fails to reach the web page

Expected Results:  
it should take you to http://mail.yahoo.com/?.intl=us and allow you to sign in

I am still able to access the page in microsoft internet explorer without any 
problems

IIRC, there was some cookie issue concerning yahoo I've read about.

Comment 2

[Josh Birnbaum]

Does the URL change when the page gets reloaded?

In Preferences, Advanced, Scripts & Plugins: are scripts allowed to read/set
cookies?

-->Browser, for now.  Possibly a dupe of bug 143810
