When using Yahoo Mail and the Mozilla Browser the spell check function on Yahoo Mail will ONLY suggest the word 'your' as the "change to" word no matter what word checked or how it is spelled incorrectly.  It will identify correctly spelled words but recommends 'your' for everything else, the "Suggestions" box is empty.  It does not happen when using Yahoo Mail and Internet Explorer, only with Mozilla and on two different machines.
It started approx. two weeks ago, early Nov. but had worked fine for the many months I have been using Mozilla.  I uninstalled Mozilla with the "Add/Remove Programs" fucntion and reinstalled but it did not correct the problem.
A friend trying to duplicate the problem said Mozilla and the Yahoo spell check worked for him, as it had for me on my two machines for months.
Thanks,

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start Mozilla
2. Go to Yahoo Mail and compose text with a, or several, misspelled words
3. check spelling

Actual Results:  
every misspelled word when checked with yahoo mail spell check suggests the word 'your'

Expected Results:  
a suggested CORRECT spelling of the word I was wanting to use but instead I got the word 'your'

suggested a 'change to' whatever the correct spelling is and list other 'suggestions' but not show the word 'your' everytime for every word.

This works for me (tried only the latest version).
This bug is occurring with both Windows XP and 98.
You're using a very old version of firefox, and frankly I don't see how this is a browser bug.
The problem went away after downloading Mozilla 1.5 when it became available.
