I log in on Explorer for my work e-mail account on Yahoo. I check the box the says "keep me signed in". I then log on using Firefox to my personal e-mail (also on Yahooo) and check that box to stay signed in. In the past, I used to be able to click back and forth from one to the other and remain signed in on each.
