When I type the first letters into the sign in box on the Yahoo Mail sign in page via my latest edition Firefox browser, (on Windows Vista) my clickable Hotmail address shows in the drop down box instead of my Yahoo address, (Both begin with the same word.) so I then need to always type in my correct Yahoo address to sign in. Internet Explorer gets it right, making me think it's a browser issue.

I've tried the settings in Yahoo, and everything in Firefox Tools/Options I can think of. Thanks for any help!
