When doing my Yahoo email, I continuosly get a message to sign in again. Yahoo claims it isn't their problem, and says it's a problem with Mozilla.

The request to sign into Yahoo again appears every few minutes, sometimes every few seconds, while in Yahoo email. Yahoo gave me some suggestions that did not rectify the situation and referred me to Mozilla. In the meantime, I changed my default browser. I would rather stay with Mozilla. What can I do?

This can be caused by the connection settings having the default setting.

Try to select the "No Proxy" setting instead of the default "Use the system proxy settings" setting.

Your suggestion worked beautifully! I used the second suggestion:

"Remove the Cookies" from sites causing problems: Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"

Thank-you so much!

May I ask you another question? I have another problem when doing Yahoo email while in Mozilla Firefox. The size of the font continually changes while I'm typing an email, especially if it is a reply. Also, if I type in an email address in the body of my email, the following words are underlined despite my efforts to unclick the "underline" command, and they are blue like the email address, once again despite my effort to change the font color. The screen is very jerky, too.

Any ideas? cathy.dugan2
