The reason for this error goes by many names:
"Same origin policy"
"_javascript_ security"
"Cross site scripting"
Basically, it means you can't have Selenium running on localhost (or the
filesystem) and test yahoo or google, unless you "turn off" or workaround
the security in the browser that prevents you from performing your test.
This is especially confusing since _javascript_ let you load a foreign site
(yahoo.com) initially in the TestRunner, but _javascript_ has no power to do
anything with that foreign site's page unless the "same origin policy" has
been met.
On Windows, with IE, you can get effectively "turn off" _javascript_
security by running the TestRunner as an HTA application. (This is a
Windows/IE only solution). Here's a good "how to" that'll get you
up-to-speed:

You can do similar things with the Selenium Recorder extension for
Firefox. It can be run as a "chrome" application and thus removes the
security enforced upon _javascript_ in the browser in a similar fashion to
how the HTA works. However, this approach with the Recorder has not been
documented. Since you're just starting out with Selenium, go with the HTA
approach for now.
