I changed my Yahoo password, and now I'm being asked to log in whenever I start Firefox in order to access my Yahoo home page.

I downloaded Saved Password Editor and tried to add my new password to my Yahoo home page, but I am still being asked to sign in. Previously, my home page would load automatically, without my having to sign in.

It might be a cookie problem. Try deleting your Yahoo!-related cookies, then signing in with the "Keep me signed in" box checked.

  • Websites remembering you and automatically log you in is stored in a cookie.
  • You need an allow cookie exception (Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: Exceptions) to keep that cookie, especially for secure websites and if you let cookies expire when Firefox closes
  • Make sure that you do not use Delete browsing, search and download history on Firefox to clear the "Cookies" and the "Site Preferences"

Thank you both for your suggestions. I did everything you said but I'm still having this problem.

One weird feature of this is that I am only having this issue on my home computer. At work I do not use my Yahoo portal as my home page, but I do have it bookmarked, and I am never asked to log in, either to my portal page or my e-mail account.

Perhaps that helps to narrow down the problem?
