Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 398381

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.5; en-US; rv:1.9b1) Gecko/2007110903 Firefox/3.0b1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.5.1; en-US; rv:1.9b1) Gecko/2007110903 Firefox/3.0b1

Yahoo! Mail no longer logs-in using Firefox 3.0b1 (also happened with later versions of Minefield). Two error messages pop up and Yahoo! Mail suggests I try "Mail Classic" to try to access my mail. Mail Classic is the only known work-around to access Yahoo! Mail.

This problem happens every time Yahoo! Mail tries to log-in, does not occur on Safari, and has occurred with later versions of Minefield.

The two error messages are as follows:

1)
The page at http://us.mg2.mail.yahoo.com says:

Yahoo! Mail experienced a login error:

name:NS_ERROR_DOM_WRONG_DOCUMENT_ERR
message:Node cannot be used in a document other than the one in which it was created
lineNumber:463

2)
The page at http://us.mg2.mail.yahoo.com says:

Yahoo! Mail experienced a login error: Login error:
name: TypeError
message:m has no properties
lineNumber:647
fileName:http://mail.yimg.com/us.js.yimg.com/combo?/pim/r/dclient/g/js/core/773fae88f6e115cd778a8a2a00201865_1.js&/pim/r/dclient/g/js/launch/883cf0597362b891f552a0385f35c078_1.js

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Visit mail.yahoo.com
2. Enter password
3. Have main mail screen load
4. Notice that two error messages pop-up before Yahoo! notifies the user that Mail was unable to login (even though you're looking at the main mail screen) and directs the user to Mail Classic.

"...Yahoo Mail threw errors and choked..." when testing 3.0b1.
