Oh great, this thread is the #1 hit on google if someone enters:
"can not enter my yahoo mail box"
And how inviting that this forum works without registration.

Must admit I don't find it funny, completely offtopic for most posts here :-/[/quote]

Sorry I thought it was intended to guide a possible K-Meleon user.[/quote]

I hope my answer helps.

Yes, but siria's post is in answer to many peoples requests that clearly have cause in the down time of some Yahoo mail servers, forgotten passwords, ID thefts and simple ignorance.

BTW. Even You posted in answer to [b]Subject[/b] "can not enter my yahoo mail box"

My post is in answer to [b]Subject[/b] "I can not enter my yahoo mail box [b]with K-Meleon"[/b]

This subtle difference is constantly causing Google and other search engines to direct people with generic but not K-Meleon specific problems here to the K-Meleon forums. And siria answered.

[center][b]Yahoo Mail Box Use With K-Meleon Browser[/b][/center]

1.) For the old yahoo mail You need K-Meleon 1.1-1.5.4 and spoof an older Firefox string.

See also: FAQs [url=http://kmeleon.sourceforge.net/wiki/FAQ#sitex]Why does website "X" not display/work properly? Is it a K-Meleon bug?[/url]

2.) For the "brand new Yahoo mail" You need K-Meleon 1.6.beta or newer and spoof e.g.

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:10.0a1) Gecko/20111008 Firefox/10.0a1

This string can be inserted into:

Menu item: Tools -> User Agent Custom

Or via Privacy Bar - Right Click on User Agent...

Else a modern User Agent String can be permanently added as an menu option via editing the file:

./program files/k-meleon/defaults/pref/I10n.js

Approximately line 14, section [b]// Privacy[/b]

Replace the original code with this. That adds the bold/highlighted UA string.
And two extra lines of code are inserted.

[code]
// Privacy

pref("kmeleon.privacy.useragent1.name", "Firefox 3.5");
pref("kmeleon.privacy.useragent1.string", "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.1.16) Gecko/20101130 Firefox/3.5.16");
pref("kmeleon.privacy.useragent2.name", "SeaMonkey 2.0");
pref("kmeleon.privacy.useragent2.string", "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.1.16) Gecko/20101123 SeaMonkey/2.0.11");
[b]pref("kmeleon.privacy.useragent3.name", "Firefox 10");
pref("kmeleon.privacy.useragent3.string", "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:10.0a1) Gecko/20111008 Firefox/10.0a1");[/b]
