279895 - Firefox does not allow me to log into Oddpost. Perhaps Oddpost uses certain MS components?

Status: VERIFIED INVALID

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Joe]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

I can't login to Oddpost.  The Oddpost mail client is quite popular and has been
purchased by Yahoo.  Perhaps it uss Microsoft components that is not supported
by Firefox?

Reproducible: Always



Expected Results:  
Enabled login and loading of the mail client, which works from Explorer.

Yes, precisely. See http://www.oddpost.com/faq.html#sysReqs (perhaps the Yahoo
purchase counts as the briefcase full of money mentioned in the post linked at
the bottom, but apparently not yet).
