Yahoo IM keeps turning off when on Firefox 3.6. "You've been signed out of Yahoo because you have signed into another email" - Something like that.

When in Yahoo email, Yahoo automatically signs you into the Yahoo IM (If you already have the Yahoo IM). You can use Yahoo IM and read your email at the same time. If you turn on Yahoo IM (the real one), you get a message - "You've been signed out of Yahoo because you have signed into another xxxxx" - something like that. This is a normal operation for Yahoo. Still, you can read your email and use the real Yahoo IM at the same time. It works ok and will stay on until you turn it off. This is w/use of I.E. If I close out existing browsers, or bring up new ones, the Yahoo IM stays on as it should. When I close out a Firefox browser, or bring up a new one, Yahoo IM signs out. I have to keep signing back in. No matter how many times you sign back in again, it will sign Yahoo IM out with every new Firefox browser or when you close it out.

Another problem with Firefox is that if I'm typing up a long paragraph in my Yahoo email that takes about 10-15 minutes or more, then when I hit send, I get a Yahoo sign in page. All that typing is gone!! Now I have to type the whole thing over again, if I can remember it. It's pain in the butt!! I've learned the hard way that any time I use Firefox, I have to copy & paste it to Notepad, sign back in, and paste it in my email, and hit send before it happens again. I don't have this problem w/I.E. The problem I do have w/I.E. is that it takes forever to work. That's why I went to Firefox but now Firefox has problems.
