Both Google and Yahoo accounts have a box which says "Stay Signed In", but this doesn't work. Why?
When I try to go to these accounts, they continue to ask me to provide Username and Password, but I've checked the "Stay Signed In" box each time.

Disable the Mozilla ActiveX control by clicking the Firefox button, then Add-ons and then go to the Plugins menu. Close Firefox and then restart it again afterwards.
Websites remembering you and automatically log you in is stored in a cookie.
- Create an allow cookie exception (Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: Exceptions) to keep such a cookie, especially for secure websites and if cookies expire when Firefox is closed.
- In Private Browsing - Use Firefox without saving history mode all cookies are session cookies that expire if that session is ended, so websites won't remember you.
- Do not use Delete browsing, search and download history on Firefox to clear the "Cookies" and the "Site Preferences"
Clearing "Site Preferences" clears all exceptions for cookies, images, pop-up windows, software installation, and passwords.
