I'm having trouble in yahoo. I keep getting "your password has expired and a yahoo url pops up asking me to re-enter my password. It's definitely a yahoo url . Just tried to see what happened when I used Google chrome and i've been logged in for hours now with no password request. It appears a problem is in firefox. Help requested

There is a very long thread here in the forum on this problem.

One possible cause is your proxy settings. If you check this deeply buried dialog, you may be able to correct it:

orange Firefox button or classic Tools menu > Options > Advanced > Network

Click the "Settings" button and choose either "No Proxy" or "Use System Settings" option, and OK the change. See whether that helps.
