any update on this ? this is a firefox issue right ?
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9b4pre) Gecko/2008022103 Minefield/3.0b4pre ID:2008022103 I see the problem with the above build and a new profile. Once I enter my login details and hit Sign In, the login dialog should disappear and the page should change to indicate I've logged in. What happens is the login dialog mostly disappears (just leaving its outline), the page doesn't update to indicate I've logged in, and the error console gets: Error: uncaught exception: [Exception... "Access to property denied" code: "1010" nsresult: "0x805303f2 (NS_ERROR_DOM_PROP_ACCESS_DENIED)" location: "https://my.screenname.aol.com/_cqr/login/login.psp Line: 29"] However, if I refresh the page, then the page does show I've logged in OK. Also, the password bar appears after I click Sign In, indicating that firefox knows the site has accepted my password properly, even tho Firefox doesn't refresh the page to show that I've logged in successfully. This all works fine in Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.13pre) Gecko/2008021403 BonEcho/2.0.0.13pre Maybe a Tech Evang bug, I'll have to find a range first.

Adam, Collin, can you look into this please? I assume CheckLoadingPermissions is failing, right? Should it be, in this case? Steve, could you possibly attach the source of the file that the JS exception is thrown in? I get a server error when I try to load it.
This page has very similar behavior in Internet Explorer 7. In IE7, the failed navigation generates a generates a popup window (which is blocked) and the login process hangs. In Firefox, the failed navigation generates an exception. If you allow popups in IE7, the login process still hangs in the same way as in Firefox. In either browser, reloading the page after the hang completes the login process. We could match the IE7 behavior exactly if we generated a request for a new window (instead of an exception) when assigning to wnd.location failed. See this test case: http://crypto.stanford.edu/~abarth/research/nav-pointer/frame1.html
I think this has to be solved with tech evangelism. The frame hierarchy that AOL is using is the following: shopping.aol.com -> shopping.aol.com -> my.screenname.aol.com (tries to navigate parent) When you click the login button, the site is doing a browser detect and taking a different action based on the browser being used. The Firefox code path assumes a permissive frame navigation policy, while the Safari code path doesn't bother to navigate parent, it navigates top instead. You can *almost* get it to work by spoofing the Safari user agent, but it breaks later on because there's another browser detect later that tries to use the Safari-specific window.currentDomain feature.
I misspoke... window.currentDomain isn't a Safari feature. The site's simply broken on Safari. I tried Safari 3.0.4 (5523.10.6).
Incidentally, the "Standard Sign-In Screen" link below the "sign in" button sends users to a login page that is broken in all browsers (IE6, IE7, Firefox 2, Firefox 3, Safari 2, Safari 3, Opera, etc.) After logging in, you get a blank page. https://my.screenname.aol.com/_cqr/login/login.psp?sitedomain=shopping.aol.com&authLev=1&siteState=OrigUrl%3Dhttp%253A%252F%252Fshopping.aol.com%252Fsns.htm&lang=en&locale=us&seamless=y If we contact AOL, it might be worth mentioning this issue to them as well.
Over to evangelism. Adam, Collin, thanks for digging into this!
