What I observe is that I get to the chat room, then the browser goes back to 
the previous page.  It's not crashing or hanging, but it doesn't work.

Comment 3

[edburns]

change summary.

Reporter, I see this "boot you back to the previous page when after loading the 
applet" behavior in IE as well.  Can you please explain it?

Comment 4

[edburns]

Apparently the reason for the boot-back is "not enough servers"  However, I 
think it may be due to my firewall.  

I've mailed yahoo tech support about it.  

I'm blocked on this bug until they reply.

I saw similar problems as stated above and upgrade to the latest version of
mozilla.  Then I downloaded the latest java.  Now when I get to the java chat
screen mozilla crashes every time.  I see some java code being run before it
crashes but no time to read it.

Mozilla 0.9.1

Mozilla 0.9.3 on solaris: no crash. Applet loaded, then immediately
gets unloaded, browser returns to previous page.

Ressign to Joe Chou, as I am no longer working officially on OJI.

Comment 9

[Luke deGruchy]

I'm running Mozilla 0.9.4 on Mandrake 8.0 and notice that the applet actually
loads a blank page and the bottom third of the screen shows the button links and
the "Loading Chat Applet" text.

THIS BUG IS NOT PRESENT IN THE WINDOWS VERSION.  Yahoo Chat runs fine, pending
more extensive testing.  It appears to function normally.  This is also for
version 0.9.4.

I had Yahoo! Chat running on Linux with 0.9.3 with a few bugs, but about 80%-90%
functional, so this bug is new to the 0.9.4 milestone and only on Linux.

Re-assign to sep.

Comment 11

[Jonadab the Unsightly One (Nathan Eady)]

This bug (or one extremely similar) DOES occur in the Windows version; 
Yahoo Chat consistently crashes Mozilla 0.9.6 on several patron internet 
stations at the library where I work, all of them using Windows 98.  
I have worked around for now by putting chat.yahoo.com in the hosts
file thus redirecting it to nowheresville.  However, with our new AUP
no longer considering chatrooms a violation, I would like to consider
this a temporary situation...

Comment 12

[James Rome]

For me, the chat room applet will not load at all in Mozilla.
I get a message:
    * If you see JAR archive failed security check: Issuer certificate is
invalid, you need to download a new Netscape browser. For more information,
click here

But I do not see this message. And, I do not see a security window asking me for
permission to run the application. If I run IE, I get a pop-up asking for
permission.

The main chats work, but the chats accessed from a club do not. So to test this,
go to http://clubs.yahoo.com and join any club, and then try the chat

[Denis Antrushin]

No crash for me with latest trunk on Linux and mozilla 097 on Win98
(both with java 1.3.1).
Note that chat applet won't work from behind firewall (see bug #130740 for desc.)
On win98 with direct connection I see two NPEs in java console, but no crash.

Comment 14

[James Rome]

The Yahoo chat loads OK for me, but the size of the window is so small, there is
no chat pane. And it is not resizeable.

Comment 15

[Denis Antrushin]

Closing this as dup of bug #130740, cause it has more people on Cc list and come 
(little) investigation
