Bug Description

[Impact]

One cannot read emails found in its Inbox with the unity-webapps-yahoomail webapp installed. Almost as soon as an email is opened, the website is being brought back to the
inbox listing page.

[Test Case]

1. Make sure that you have the unity-webapps-yahoomail package installed,
2. Go to https://mail.yahoo.com,
3. Click on an email,
4. Wait a bit (under 10 seconds) and make sure that the page does not go back to the list of emails,

[Regression Potential]

No regression is expected, if one occurs it would be very stricly confined to this webapp.

[Other Info]

For future reference (although we are ought to put this info somewhere else), the yahoomail website does not really permits a proper/clean messaging menu integration
and an easy asynchronous update of message counts which basically renders the integration itself (at least given the usual behavior of apps in the messaging menu) a bit useless.

The original bug report (for reference):

"When going to the Yahoo email page (web Email) i can no longer read my mail. At this point, it cycles through checking for mail fast enough that I cannot do anything with that page. I am using Firefox, and using Firefox with XP Pro will not repeat the behavior with Yahoo's email web page.

I'm using Ubuntu Version 13.04; Raring (?) ringtail"

Yeah, the bug started after i upgraded to 13.04, but if i check email using chrome, no bugs...as clean as ever. So to me it affects only in firefox!

Yes but there are some programs that Chrome that does not work with them. WYSIWYG editor for the CSCART. So if you do not install the yahoo mail thing , no problem the yahoo mail works fine. If you did install it then you unistall the firefox and install again the firefox and not problem again.

I'm using Chromium from the quantal repositories and I get the same behaviour, so it's not a Firefox bug. If I disable the "Unity WebApps Chromium extension" form the extensions window, the bug disappears.

I have the same problem (firefox turns continuously & lightning fast to inbox) with 13.04.
Problem doesn't appear in same installation / chromium. Using this I am able to read the rest of the folders.

why do you remove message indicator integration? and have lost all applications integration with the message indicator.

Maybe you only removed this code

- setInterval(function () {
- getCheckMailNode().click();
- }, 3000);
