49445 - Mozilla refuses to log into Yahoo Mail

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 27687

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect, P3)

Description

[Richard Ekle]

This bug only seems to happen in Windows...

I go to the above URL and am presented with the Login to Yahoo Mail page.  I
type my password (correctly!) and it just seems to load the same page over
again.  It should be bringing me into Yahoo mail instead of getting stuck at the
login page.

I've gotten this under Linux. I'll type in my username and password and it'll
load the login page again, but it'll usually work the second time. I haven't
reported it because it's hard to reproduce.
I don't think I've had this problem with the latest couple builds though.

I did see this last night, and changing my preferences from:
Enable cookies for the originating website only
to:
Enable all cookies

Solved the problem for me - it may just be coincidence - but it's worth checking
out.

if colin's solution works for everyone, then this is bug 27687.

Comment 5

[Stephen P. Morse]

Yep, definitely a dup of 27687.  Read in that bug report about my attempts to 
notify yahoo of their problem and their machine-generated response back to me.
