Hmm, you reported this several Months ago in Bug 238559 Comment 7 against Firefox 4 Beta 8.
Did you report the Issues to Yahoo as said in the other Report?

I used the "Feedback" link on the site to point to this bug report.

This has been reported on SUMO.  This exception is causing the Javascript in question to fail, resulting in playlists breaking.  Creating a new playlist fails, as does playing the 2nd and subsequent videos in a subsequent playlist.

Perhaps Yahoo! is actually doing something about this.

Tried today and the errors have changed a bit.

These appear during the initial page load:

Error: uncaught exception: [Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x80040111 (NS_ERROR_NOT_AVAILABLE) [nsIDOMHTMLDocument.createElementNS]"  nsresult: "0x80040111 (NS_ERROR_NOT_AVAILABLE)"  location: "JS frame :: http://l.yimg.com/p/js/compressed/music_global_bottom_1.12.0.js :: <TOP_LEVEL> :: line 1"  data: no]

Line: 1601

This ones is after I allow the Flash element using Flashblock, it spams the error console every 30 seconds during playback:

Error: uncaught exception: [Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x805e0006 [nsIDOMLocation.replace]"  nsresult: "0x805e0006 (<unknown>)"  location: "JS frame :: http://l.yimg.com/p/js/compressed/music_global_top_1.11.0.js :: <TOP_LEVEL> :: line 1"  data: no]

This one appears towards the end of the video:

Error: uncaught exception: [Exception...

Looks like one of the exceptions is gone during the initial page load:

Error: uncaught exception: [Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x80040111 (NS_ERROR_NOT_AVAILABLE) [nsIDOMHTMLDocument.createElementNS]"  nsresult: "0x80040111 (NS_ERROR_NOT_AVAILABLE)"  location: "JS frame :: http://l.yimg.com/p/js/compressed/music_global_bottom_1.13.0.js :: <TOP_LEVEL> :: line 1"  data: no]

This one is after I allow the Flash element using Flashblock, it appeared 11 times in the error console during playback:

Error: uncaught exception: [Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x805e0006 [nsIDOMLocation.replace]"  nsresult: "0x805e0006 (<unknown>)"  location: "JS frame :: http://l.yimg.com/p/js/compressed/music_global_top_1.11.0.js :: <TOP_LEVEL> :: line 1"  data: no]

This new one appeared twice during playback:

@cheilmann: Any idea who at Yahoo to contact?

Comment 8

[alex_mayorga]

Apparently Yahoo! killed the play lists sometime ago[1].
