I wonder if it's because Yahoo is checking for user-agent. They may allow Firefox, but not "Iceweasel", which is the default branding for Firefox in Gentoo. [...snip long involved story about Open Source licencing politics...] Try adding the line... www-client/mozilla-firefox -iceweasel ...to /etc/package.use and recompiling Firefox. As a quick-n-dirty, if you have the "User Agent Switcher" extension installed, try setting your user agent string to... Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.1.11) Gecko/20071229 Firefox/2.0.0.11 May do the trick. While we're at it, adding the line... www-client/mozilla-firefox moznopango ...to /etc/package.use and recompiling Firefox will speed it up. The tradeoff is that you can't display Chinese/Japanese/Cyrillic text if your Firefox is set to display English. Apparently, "pango" paints the text characters dot-by-dot. This makes it more versatile, allowing it to display multiple character sets at once. But it obviously slows Firefox down. Your choice. -- Walter Dnes <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I'm not repeating myself I'm an X Window user... I'm an ex-Windows-user -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
