284870 - every time I try to access my yahoo inbox, it simply loads and reloads without allowing me access.

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[shabopo]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050225 Firefox/1.0.1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050225 Firefox/1.0.1

  When I try to access http://mail.yahoo.com , after already logging in, since
downloading the newest version of firefox, the site simply loads and reloads,
occasionally flashing me brief sights of the inbox, but does not let me access
it.  I  tried accessing the same account with Mozilla, to see if it was in fact
a problem due to http://www.yahoo.com having a malfunction, I had no problem
viewing the inbox, which tells me that it is Firefox at fault.
  This only occurred after I downloading the most recent version of Firefox;
however, it started about twelve hours after I downloaded the newer version, in
which I had a few problems accessing the site.  As time progressed the problem
got progressively worse.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Go to http://mail.yahoo.com, either signed in on a yahoo.com screenname, or
simply logging in once the "sign-in" screen appears
2.  Enter password and log in.
3.  Attempt to click on "inbox" link (if firefox even allows that part to show up)

Actual Results:  
  The site remained blank; the bar at the bottom simply re-loaded and re-loaded;
occasionally a flash of the toolbar would show up, distorted, but then it would
return to a blank screen, or a page stating Yahoo was having difficulties at
that point in time.

Expected Results:  
  It should have taken me straight to my e-mail address' inbox, allowing me to
view my messages.

Changing component to General, this has nothing to do with View Source.

Your desciption seems to be an exact match of Bug 284887 "Blank page pulls up 
when attempting to log in to Yahoo mail.", but your report has at least some 
priority. Does the problem occur on any other site?

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
Thank you for your help in this matter.
