Prior to the recent upgrade, I was able to maintain access to my Yahoo Mail account.

Now, when I close FF and later open it and attempt to login to Yahoo Mail, I am required to add access to my Yahoo account through my cellphone or other secondary factor authorization.

Any ideas?

Something must have got ticked or agreed to for that to come on. Log In then You can go into your Account at the Gear Icon and Click Account Security then Toggle the bar to off for 2 Factor Auth.
