When I access Yahoo Mail through Firefox, as soon as Yahoo mail opens, my userid and password have already been entered. I do not want this to happen since other people use this computer. How can I stop this? this does not happen when I access through Internet Explorer.

It looks like your password is stored in the password manager. See Viewing and Deleting passwords. Moreover, your Firefox version (3.6.18) is outdated. Go to Help < Check for Updates.
