hello BGP835LR, websites can specify if browsers should be able to save username/passwords (through the autocomplete="off" attribute in the login form in the html source code) - this is also the case with yahoo.
you can either install an addon or use a bookmarklet to circumvent this restriction.
Make sure that Yahoo isn't being blocked from asking you to save the password. You can check by following instructions below:
- Click the Firefox button
- Go to Options
- Go to the Security tab
- Click Exceptions next to the "Remember passwords for sites" and make sure Yahoo isn't listed.
If that doesn't work, you can use the following extension to add your e-mail and password combo manually for Yahoo:
mozilla blocked this add on
mozilla blocked this add on
What do you mean "Mozilla blocked that addon?"
You can remove autocomplete=off with a bookmarklet to make Firefox store form data like names and passwords.
Note that Firefox won't auto-fill saved form data automatically when autocomplete=off is used, so you need to double-click the empty name field to get a drop-down list.
