mail.yahoo.com is my home page and comes up blank.  It also comes up blank 
whenever I choose it from Bookmarks, or type it in.  It does work through 
Internet explorer

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Type mail.yahoo.com as the URL
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
blank page - "Done" in status bar.

Expected Results:  
brought up my login page for yahoo mail.

until yesterday (4/17) using version 1.0 I would get the login screen, then 
the blank page would be returned after I logged it.  This does sound similar 
to some other bugs reported but I'm not sure it is the same

Have you told your firewall to let Firefox 1.03 out onto the internet?

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.
