Thanks so much for taking the time to give me this info! The "Use Custom Settings" did the trick!!!

Changing to "Use Custom Settings" resolved the problem. Thank you so much for this advice!!!

I've the same problem with Yahoo. However ALL of my settings ARE proper for cookies, remember history, etc. I'm seriously starting to believe that this is a laptop issue, as I could be wrong, but I've never seen this sign in issue (yahoo) on any desktops, but have encountered and been unsuccessful at trying to repair it on a dozen different laptop models (Dell, Asus, Acer, Toshiba, Sony, etc) using Win 7, and a few with Linux Mint.
