I disabled ABE in No Script and those messages went away. I still see
one No Script related error listed:
> [NoScript] Force text/plain for missing content-type on https:
/api.login.yahoo.com/oauth2/request_auth?response_type=code&clie
t_id=dj0yJmk9NUtCTWFMNVpTaVJmJmQ9WVdrOVJ6UjVTa2xJTXpRbWNHbzlNQS0
JnM9Y29uc3VtZXJzZWNyZXQmeD0yYw--&redirect_uri=http%3A%2F%
2Flocalhost&scope=mail-w&login_hint=dhdurgee%40yahoo.com
I don't know if that is directly related to the problem or not, it
sounds pretty innocuous and appears to confirm this relates to oauth2
based on the URL.
Unfortunately I am still getting nowhere with this.
