I login to my yahoo mailbox, it states do I want to remember this password I click don't ever remember this password, I log out and click the link again and bang I'm straight back into my account.

No password is stored under the security tab. It's stored in the exceptions and I've blocked cookies for yahoo.com

It will only work if I close the browser down completely. I don't have the issue with other sites eg. facebook

Seems to be related to the bookmark URL I made on the toolbar.

I've edited it and now it keeps my username but not the password. As it should only be valid for the session shirley?

Tres bizarre
