305871 - HTML elements unusable in composing Yahoo e-mails

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 183863

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Jack Nathanson]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050716 Firefox/1.0.6
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050716 Firefox/1.0.6

When I send a Yahoo e-mail using Internet Explorer, I can do things such as
varying the text size and font and also the text colour. I can even add emoticons.  
I can also paste images copied from websites onto the e-mails.These things do
not work with Firefox. All I can do with Firefox is send dull, boring text in
the same size and colour as this report.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.I go into "compose" in Yahoo e-mail, and no HTML elements are available.
2.To paste an image, I get an image on Google, click on "select all" from the
"edit" menu, right-click on the image, and then click on "copy" from the menu.
Then I "paste" onto the e-mail. When I try this with Firefox, all I get is an
error message saying that the image can not be pasted because it has errors in
it. The happens with every image that I try. Yet this same procedure is almost
always successfulwith Internet Explorer.
3.

Actual Results:  
1. No HTML elements show up in the Yahoo e-mail "compose" form.
2. Insted of an image showing up on the e-mail, I get an error message.

Expected Results:  
1. The same Yahoo HTML e-mail elements seen with Internet Explorer should have
been available on the "compose" form.
2.An image should have been successfully pasted onto the e-mail.


Firefox was just installed tonight, August 24,2005, on a Pentium 2 computer
using the Windows 98 operating system.
