300306 - Stopped displaying yahoo web mail page correctly after a month or two of use.

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[DWolfer]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; en) Opera 8.01
Build Identifier: 1.0.4

Whe I log into Yahoo Web mail account, it used to display correctly. However, 
after using Firefox for a month or two all of a sudden, it no longer renders the 
page correctly. I end up with yellow/orangish background for all displayed text. 
I used to use Netscape and also Mozilla. Both of these developed the same 
problem afte using them for a while. I have about given up on anything 
asssociated with any of the Mozilla based browsers. I have never experienced 
this problem with either Opera of Internet explorer. So I have had to switch 
over to Opera because I refuse to use Internet Explorer. 
This has been a problem that I first ran into under NetScape almost a year ago.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Log in to my yahoo Web based e-mail account
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
The colors are rendered incorrectly behind each of the areas that text is being 
displayed.

Expected Results:  
Diplayed the results with my defined color scheme that is defined from within 
the Yahoo Web based e-mail page. The color scheme is defined and controled by 
the account attributes while logged in to yahoo web mail.

Is this reproducable with a nightly build? (http://www.mozilla.org/developer)

Also, did this bug, and bug 300303 start happening at the same time? (spamed on
300303)

Exerpts from email:

I do not install nightly builds but it has been present in every
build I have installed including the latest version of 1.0.4
provided on the Firefox download web site.

No, they happened at different times. The bug that makes the
page display incorrectly started happening in an installation of
the NetScape browser version 7.00 and has happened in every
build I have installed of NetScape, Mozilla and Firefox since
then. Each browser ran fine for some period of time, then all of
a sudden, the problem occures. The background of all the text
started displaying incorrectly. I know each of the browsers are
based on the same code so whatever is going on is in each code
base.

The preview bar in yahoo mail now remains in the mail when the mail is opened and read, and when a reply is being written
