Yahoo mail acting weird

Left clicking the attachment download link will not display an attached image. However if you right click and choose Open Link in New Tab (Firefox), it will show it.

Thanks zoltan, your right-click solution is works and is a good work-around. (EDIT: changed left-click to right-click)

I played around a bit more and it seems to be a user-agent problem. Normally, my browser (k-meleon) is set to spoof firefox 2 using this string:

Code:

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.8.1) Gecko/20061010 Firefox/2.0

This is what causes my download problems.

When I use the following user-agent string for opera,

Code:

Opera/7.54 (Windows NT 5.1; U) [en]

I have no problems and get the message "download file" which can be right-clicked to bring up the browser's dialog box to save the file.


With this firefox 3 useragent,

Code:

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.0.6pre) Gecko/20081201 Mozilla/3.0 GranParadiso/3.0.6pre

I get both the message "download file" and the browser's dialog box.
However, if I cancel the dialog box and right-click on "download file".
I get kicked out to the yahoo main page (as with the ff2 user-agent).
