Details

Yahoo is sniffing the UA, not recognizing us, and initializing code intended for IE which bombs the page. As seen here: http://new.music.yahoo.com/Green-Day/videos/view/Boulevard-of-Broken-Dreams--221547599 If someone has contact info, I would be willing to follow up with the folks at Yahoo.

Specifically what are they sniffing about the UA? (In other words, how is this different from bug 613478?) See also bug 304223, bug 487887, bug 529533, and bug 620188, which are other Yahoo sniffing bugs, some of which have contact info in them IIRC. cl
The given URL now redirects to https://www.yahoo.com/?err=404&err_url=http%3a%2f%2fmusic.yahoo.com%2fGreen-Day%2f If I go to https://screen.yahoo.com/boulevard-broken-dreams-tony-bennett-153646438.html I have no issues. The site has probably changed.
