Description

[Terry Doyle]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050317 Firefox/1.0.2
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050317 Firefox/1.0.2

1. Have just downloaded from Mozilla the latest Firefox.

2. Can reproduce propblem any time cache has not just been cleared.

3. From http://my.yahoo.com/ with a yahoo setup that includes "Mail Preview" I
click on "Inbox".

4. Firefox takes me to Yahoo Mail page (with tabs "Mail Plus", Addresses",
"Calendar" & "Notepad"  instead of "Inbox".

5. As a symptom, I briefly see an old contents of "Inbox" flash on the screen
and disappear.

6. Odder still is if I clean cache, the problem goes away.  At step 3 I am taken
correctly to "Inbox".

7. Does not happen with IE and not until recently.  May coincide with latest
release but I am not sure.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Log into My Yahoo
2. Click on Inbox in the Mail Preview frame
3. Get taken to Yahoo Mail page instead of my Inbox.

Actual Results:  
See the wrong Yahoo page.
From Yahoo Mail page, I can click on "Check Mail" and go to where I should have
been taken, my Inbox.

Expected Results:

It's really, really irritating.

Terry, is this issue reproducable with the firefox 1.1 nightly (beta) builds?
