What can't I get Firefox to remember my Yahoo password?
I cannot get Firefox to remember my password for Yahoo, I cannot contact them, all I can do is change my password, but then I can't go in and update it. It remembers my other passwords for Hotmail, Netscape, but not Yahoo. I have to enter it every time, it's bull... I am tempted, if I could contact Yahoo, and get a straight answer to close my Account with them. I know you can't help with this. I'm fed up with it. I'm also tempted to take Firefox off the computer and find a different browser. Thanks.

Hi !
Some websites use the Autocomplete="off" attribute, which is the case with Yahoo.
To circumvent this restriction you could use a bookmarklet
Or put up with having to fill in your password ......
But leaving Firefox, while Firefox is not to blame - you don't really want to do that, do you ?
A detail like a website remembering you (log you in automatically) is stored in a cookie.
You can use these steps to make a website recognize and remember you:
- create an "Allow" exception to keep specific cookies, especially in case of secure websites and when cookies expire when Firefox is closed.
- Options/Preferences -> Privacy & Security -> Cached Web Content: "Clear Now": Exceptions
Let the cookies expire when Firefox is closed to make them session cookies instead of using "Clear history when Firefox closes" to clear the cookies.
- Options/Preferences -> Privacy & Security -> "Use custom settings for history" -> Cookies: Keep until: "I close Firefox"
You can create an "Allow" exception to keep specific cookies.
In case you use "Clear history when Firefox closes" or otherwise clear history.
- do not clear the Cookies
- do not clear the Site Preferences
- Options/Preferences -> Privacy & Security -> Firefox will: "Use custom settings for history": [X] "Clear history when Firefox closes" -> Settings
- https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/delete-browsing-search-download-history-firefox
- clearing "Site Preferences" clears exceptions for cookies, images, pop-up windows, and software installation and exception for password and other website specific data
- clearing "Cookies" will remove all selected cookies including cookies with an "Allow" exception you may want to keep
