53164 - login at yahoo sites doesn't work with mozilla (M17)

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 41950

(Core :: DOM: Core & HTML, defect, P3)

Description

[Ashley Shugart]

Logging in at some yahoo sites doesn't work with Mozilla (M17).  (I am able to
login to the same sites with Netscape 4.75, StarOffice 5.1, and even IE 5.5.)
When I try to login to the sties there seems to be some activity but the page
doesn't load.  (Yahoo usually returns an "invalid password" page if the password
was wrong.)  Sometimes pressing the "Reload" button causes the page to load,
(my.yahoo.com) as if the login was OK but the browser window just wasn't
refreshed. Sometimes it just causes the login page to re-load (mail.yahoo.com).
I don't think it's a cookie issue because I have Mozilla set to ask me about
cookies and I always say OK to accept any cookies from these sites.

Try in a later build.

Indeed, the current M18 nightlies handle this login OK, but according to bug
49150 the fix was checked in post-M17.
