Yahoo is clueless with their browser sniffer. You will need to add
"NOT Firefox/3.6" to your User Agent string to overcome it. Their
sniffer will find the word "Firefox" and allow you to do your
thing.

Rather than installing an extension, or manually hacking prefs, a
solution that WORKS is to use SeaMonkey 2.2

We have included defaults there that cause Yahoo's broken browser
checking script to think we are Firefox and allow everything to
work fine.

I am aware of that, of course. Perhaps the user would rather not
install a whole new and unfamiliar version of the entire suite, simply
to gain access to a site where that "manual hack" (simple to do) would
suffice.

It works with SM 2.1 - no need to jump to 2.2 :-)
