User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en; rv:1.8.1.6) Gecko/20070809 Camino/1.5.1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en; rv:1.8.1.6) Gecko/20070809 Camino/1.5.1

I use Yahoo as my home page. Today this page was changed to My Yahoo! Beta which is not supported by Camino. I am given the option to "Switch back to the original My Yahoo!". After I click on this, the URL changes, but nothing else happens. The new URL is http://cm.my.yahoo.com/?_crumb=I2qd.nWEppWGlGaU0xLzQ.&migrate=downgrade&_done=http:///my.yahoo.com

If this is not fixed I will not be able to use Camino.

Expected Results:  
See Details above.

The software should have taken me back to the original My Yahoo! and, also, it should work with the Yahoo! Beta version.

This is probably a dupe of several TE bugs filed against various Yahoo properties, and entirely a problem on Yahoo's end.

Please complain (again) to them about this. I'll let someone else decide whether this should be kicked to TE or simply duped and closed.

Works OK for me.
Using Camino Version 2007100600 (1.6a1pre) w/OS 10.4.10.

This should be duped to the existing Yahoo Mail TE bug. Being unable to switch back would be something on Yahoo's end, and you'll need to take it up with Yahoo's tech support.

The only reason I didn't do that was because this isn't specifically about Yahoo Mail (it actually didn't mention Yahoo Mail at all), and that bug (I assume you meant bug 334071) is specific to the mail Web app.

Whoops, I just saw "Yahoo" and "Beta" and my mind filled in "Mail".

The URL not working to "downgrade" is Yahoo's bug, which is most definitely not our fault/problem and therefore INVALID.

There is a genuine TE issue here that, on further inspection, seems not to have any filed bugs (since it's brand-new, though Yahoo's lack of support for non-Firefox Gecko browsers is legendary), so I'm going to file one and close this as INVALID.

Bug 399404 filed for the TE issue.

Jef, you should let Yahoo know that their page doesn't let you downgrade successfully. In the meantime, a workaround is using a nightly build of Camino, which Yahoo will not reject (which is why comment 2 did not see the problem).
