Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 183863

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[chinese_jazz]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511 Firefox/1.0.4
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511 Firefox/1.0.4

When compsing/replying/forwarding messages in Yahoo! Mail with Mozilla Firefox,
I cannot write anything using rich text. Is there a way to enable this?

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to Yahoo! Mail and Login (http://mail.yahoo.com/).
2. Click on "Compose".
3. There is not rich text editor in the text box.

Actual Results:  
In the text box, there is nothing to edit rich text.

Expected Results:  
In IE, the page looks like this:

I noticed that on some older versions of IE, it only edits the text as plain
text. But Firefox can outdo even the latest version, and I think it needs to be
able to handle rich text. :)
