From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; N; PPC; en-US; 0.8) Gecko/20010215
BuildID:    2001021508

No matching plugin to access this popular Yahoo site. 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
Go to
http://login.yahoo.com/config/login?.intl=us&.src=ga&.done=http://games.yahoo.com/games/login%3fgame=Bridge
Type in username (mozill2001) and password (testing)
Select any lounge from the Yahoo Bridge screen
A new window opens with the message "Click here to get plugin"
Clicking on the message opens a window at Netscape.net for plugin downloads
The window says that there are 0 matching plugins


Actual Results:  With no idea what plugin is needed and no help from the
Netscape site, it seems impossible to access this site.


Expected Results:  This site works fine with Communicator 4.7.  I'm not sure
whether the problem is with Mozilla or with the Netscape site but in any case,
neither Mozilla 0.7 or 0.8 can access this Yahoo site in their current form

Doing the same steps with Mozilla 0.7 leads to a dialogue box stating that the
"plugin downloader plugin" is needed. However, I have been unable to find
anything with such a name on the Netscape site

The plugin you're looking for is Java 2.  Please read the release notes at
http://www.mozilla.org/releases/mozilla0.8/ for instructions how to install
this plugin.

Marking worksforme because you filed bug 69352 which indicates that you
managed to install Java. Please reopen if this is still a problem.

On Mac OS9 we pick up the MRJ java plugin.  I've never had any problems with this.

On mac OS, you need the MRJ (macintosh runtime for java..get the latest 
version from developer.apple.com). The MRJ plugin works with it. Marking
