234909 - Yahoo mail intermittently rendering incorrectly

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 235896

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Nigel Maddocks]

User-Agent:       
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040206 Firefox/0.8

A typical Yahoo Mail page consists of an advert banner along the top, a folders
list down the left, and message subject list, or message contents in the
centre/right.
About 30% of the time, the folders list expands its width to the width of the
advert banner. This has the effect of displacing the message subject list (or
message contents) so far to the right that it has to be horizontally-scrolled
to.    Sometimes, refreshing the page solves the problem, sometimes not.  I've
never noticed this effect in IE.  The last version of Firebird also had this
problem.  Given that Yahoo mail is probably a widely used page, it would be good
for the take-up of Firefox if Yahoo Mail rendered correctly with it.
Apart from that, no problems.  Generally nicer to use than IE, but IE still has
the speed advantage with vertically-large html tables.
