User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:2.0b12) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/4.0b12

I tried for the first time the all new Yahoo! Mail Beta as I am using FF 4 Beta.
I found that the Yahoo messenger is not loading.  Whenever I try to send SMS or Instant message, it says Yahoo! messenger is currently unavailable and I am unable to change my online status to Online.
I tried to load it in FF 3.6.13 and it shows my online status and I am able to send SMS.

Confirmed on
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:2.0b13pre) Gecko/20110227 Firefox/4.0b13pre ID:20110227030400

However, It works if set "general.useragent.override" to "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows;
U; Windows NT 6.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2.13) Gecko/20101102  Firefox/3.6.13".

So, I think this is the site problem

So you mean that its the problem on Yahoo! Side.  I should tell them about it.

Yes - if you could contact Yahoo and let them know of the issue and have them reference this bug report. If you do contact them, please post back and update the status.

Now in FF 4 Release Candidate, the problem is solved.
Thanks

Great - closing bug

Someone should test this in a non-RC beta just to make sure they didn't implement some asinine workaround (like, say, sniffing specifically for "4.0rc").
