Description

[palmonezire31fanatic]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.8b4) Gecko/20050908 Firefox/1.4
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.8b4) Gecko/20050908 Firefox/1.4

Yahoo email toolbar feature that tells you when an new email has arrived does
not show until a second firefox browser is opened. Also yahoo anti-spy when
clicked takes me to the download page to download the update, but when download
and installs it won't install it and or does it incorrectly. IT shows it as
installed, but when I click on the anti-spy feature it just takes me to
http://edit.toolbar.yahoo.com/config/slv4_page?.p=ypsr again and again. Just in
case the automatic firefox version didn't get the version right, I am using
mozilla 1.5 beta 1.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Yahoo anti-spy problem.
1.click on yahoo anti-spy on the yahoo toolbar for mozilla firefox.
2. first click takes you to the download page
http://edit.toolbar.yahoo.com/config/slv4_page?.p=ypsr to update the anti-spy.
At first use of the toolbar this is okay.
3. exit firefox
4.double click anti-spy to install the update for the anti-spy program.
5. follow the steps to install it.
6. once installed open up mozilla firefox 1.5 beta 1 then click on anti-spy to
start the scan.
7. it takes you back to http://edit.toolbar.yahoo.com/config/slv4_page?.p=ypsr
.........
yahoo toolbar mail, it should be self explainitory. if not email me. =)
Actual Results:  
takes me to http://edit.toolbar.yahoo.com/config/slv4_page?.p=ypsr over and over
again even tho when i try to download and install again and again it always says
i have the latest version of yahoo anti-spy.

Expected Results:  
It should of started anti-spy program to scan for adaware and maleware and
spyware. IT should of started a scan userface.

hopes this gets fixed, so far like the ver. 1.5 of mozilla firefox esp. the find
cookie feature..^_^ and how they are all grouped together.

Except for the version of Firefox that I am using, the problem with Anti-Spy seems to be the same.
