Looks like somebody set up the preference pane incorrectly so that "accept all
cookies" was given the enumeration type of "disable cookies".  To really get the
behavior of accepting cookies, you would have had to check off "accept only
cookies ... " because that was given the enumeration type of "accept all
cookies."

Fix is to change the enumeration types in xpfe/AppCores/xul/pref-advanced.html.
I have the fix and will check it in as soon as the tree opens.  Marking bug as
fixed.

I get the two frames successfully with no cookie problems.  I did get asked
twice if I wanted to allow cookies to be set so I know that the site did indeed
set two cookies and they got set successfully.

Check to make sure that you didn't have cookies disabled.  Also check to make
sure that you don't have the yahoo site on the list of sites from which you do
not accept cookies (look in the cookperm.txt file).

I should mention that I did have a problem getting to the yahoo mail page but
that had nothing to do with cookies.  When I clicked on yahoo mail from the main
yahoo page, nothing happened.  So I had to look in the page source to see where
they wanted to go (http://www.yahoo.com/homet/?http://mail.yahoo.com) and
manually type that into the location field.  But this is a totally different
problem than the one reported by slok00.  This smells like a netlib problem and
netlib is being completely rewritten anyway so I won't file a bug report on
this.  If anyone else experiences this problem, and wants to file a bug report
agains netlib on it, go ahead and do so.

I think this was probably a dup that got fixed, but marking verified anyways.

Comment 6

[Stephen P. Morse]

Yes, now that I am more familiar with the cause of bug 8743, I realize that this
is a dup of that bug.  So, in fact, I'm going to reopen this and then mark it
resolved as a duplicate.
