I have My Yahoo set as my homepage. I have the box checked on my Yahoo account to stay signed in for two weeks. I just started to use Firefox as my primary browser. Unlike IE 8, Firefox requires me to sign in to my personal My Yahoo page with my user name and password each time I open Firefox. Is there a way to avoid having to sign in to My Yahoo each time I open Firefox?

I have the same issue. I see that this issue was posted 7 months ago and as far as I can see here there's no resolution yet! What's the point for this forum. I'm getting pretty frustrated with firefox browser and setting it up without annoyances. If there's a resolution for this issue why not list it here. Firefox is no gem and definitely not as functional as IE.
