Hi,

Do you use yahoo mail, its web interface, regularly?
Do you use firefox for that?
Have you notice any problems?

I access my yahoo mail web interface using firefox almost every day. But I
bumped into problem from time to time. Sometimes I have

Sorry, Bad Request.
Your browser sent a request that this server could not understand.

when trying to use any of the yahoo mail command buttons, e.g. delete, mark
read, mark as spam, sometimes they just simply don't respond when clicking
on them.

Today, the yahoo mail command buttons are not responding again (when
clicking on them). Moreover, every email turns out completely blank. I
tried to "select" the blank space via dragging the mouse but also nothing
there. Only "Printable View" can show them.
The problem does not exist when using epiphany.

Have you notice any problems?

I'm no expert, but it seems extremely unlikely to me that this is
Yahoo's problem, especially since you imply that it has been going on
for some time and you have a recent Firefox. If I had to guess, I would
say that it sounds like a problem on your end with Javascript. You
might try disabling that and see if that "fixes" it. Obviously, this
would only hide the problem, unless you are happy to live without
Javascript, but could be a useful point of information.


Or try ENABLING it for the yahoo.com domain if you have NoScript or
something like that installed. I had similar problems and enabling
scripts fixed them.

Also, I download my Yahoo mail with fetchyahoo so that I don't have to
go on their web interface at all -- just a suggestion in case you are
interested.

Matthew
thanks

PS, my firefox:

$ apt-cache policy firefox
firefox:
Installed: 1.5.dfsg+1.5.0.7-1
Candidate: 1.5.dfsg+1.5.0.7-1
