20409 - [bugday] my.netscape.com thinks mozilla does not have javascript enabled

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 19598

(Core :: Security: CAPS, defect, P3)

Description

[Asa Dotzler [:asa]]

Platforms: win32 under windows NT and 98 (builds 11-26, 11-29 and  11-30) as
well as linux (11-30-08)

Summary: when a user tries to log into a custom my.netscape.com page,. the
my.netscape's member sign in page loads, a username and password form
displays, and some garbage flashes in the username form for a split second, then
the two forms are repainted just up and to the left about a quarter inch with
the word "Username" broken into two lines and then users are forwarded to a page
that says "Please Enable Javascript" in big red letters.

Steps to reproduce:
launch mozilla
load my.netscape.com
click link on left of page titled "I have already customized my page, Find it"

Additional information: I had some success timing the load and pressing the stop
button before the page forwards.  In some cases I was able to then enter my
username and password and was delivered to my custom my.netscape page.  In other
cases, pressing stop before the forwarding caused the username form to become
unresponsive (would not gain the caret when clicked on).

Is this a regression?

I have no clue what might be causing it.  It's not a bug with the core
JavaScript engine - could it have something to do with security?

Reassigning to caps in case they have a clue.
