I saw this bug too, on Windows 2000 with Mozilla 1.7 w/recent security patch xpi.

The bug seems to occur even if you try to get to the send function indirectly;
i.e. saving as a draft first or going through spellcheck.  I suspect it has
something to do with the new auto-complete functionality.

When clicking the "Send" button you get the following javascript error:

Error: window.document.all has no properties
Source File: http://us.f605.mail.yahoo.com/lib_web/autocomplete.js
Line: 87

So that is probably the culprit.  Could be an evang issue, but I'm at work so
I'm unable to delve into it further right now.

SOrry if my attachment caused confusion.  I meant to say I am getting same
error; the send button does not work in Firefox 0.9.2.  

I am on windows xp.  But I also noticed the editing toolbar in yahoo mail does
not work either.  This may or may not be related to the "Send" bug.  However I
attached a screen shot of IE and what it is supposed to look like.

The bug about this toolbar is bug 183863.

Otherwise, this works for me using Firefox 0.9.2. I use Yahoo! Mail every day,
and I didn't notice any problem so far.
Reporter: check your cookie settings; also try creating a new profile, maybe
this solves your problem.

I'm experiencing the same problem on Yahoo Mail using Mozilla 1.7.1 on Win XP Pro.
The following buttons don't work after logging into Yahoo Mail:

1. "Delete", "Mark" or "Move" buttons in any mailbox view.
2. "Delete", "Reply" or "Forward" buttons in any message view.
3. "Send", "Save as a Draft", "Spell Check" and "Cancel" buttons in compose screen.
4. "Show" link beside "My Folders".

There is totally no response when clicking the above listed buttons/links.
I tried uninstalling & installing Mozilla 1.7.1 to no avail.  I also rebooted
after installing, to no avail.  I didn't remember this happening in 1.7, so I
uninstalled 1.7.1 and installed 1.7 - same result as above, to my surprise!

All the above buttons work under IE 6. 
Can someone confirm if it's a Mozilla problem or Yahoo Mail's, or worse,
something else?

Are you using a User Agent Switcher extension?

This bug report seems to be drifting amongst a few different Yahoo Mail
problems.  Picking one to dupe it against.

Can't find your send button? Minimise your page and it's there! Woohoo! Guru!
