User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.0.7) Gecko/20060909 Firefox/1.5.0.7
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.0.7) Gecko/20060909 Firefox/1.5.0.7

When I select a photo or .wmv Email attachment to download, Firefox takes me back to the Yahoo Mail sign-in page. I re-enter my password, but instead of then taking me BACK to Yahoo Mail, it continues to take me to the Yahoo Mail sign-in page. This does not happen with Internet Explorer.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open an Email with a photo attachment.
2. Click on a photo to download. Firefox opens the Yahoo Mail sign-in page.
3. Re-enter the password to sign in to Yahoo Mail.

Actual Results:  
It will continue to take me to the Yahoo Mail sign-in page.

Expected Results:  
Opened the photo (or video) file, as requested.

This has been happening for about a month.
