Ever since upgrading to 1.5.0.1, Firefox no longer saves my login info for
my Yahoo home page for more than a couple of hours. And when I look in
saved cookies, there is nothing there for Yahoo.

Any ideas?

Yahoo may have changed the expiry on their cookies. Next time you are
logged in, look for yahoo cookies, and check the expiry info.

I haven't had a problem with it. I use my.yahoo.com for my homepage & it's working
fine. Now Yahoo Mail has never let the login be saved. Firefox 1.5.0.1 build
2006011112 Win XP HomeSP2.
Something in his settings maybe?? The cookies I have for Yahoo have expiration dates
all the way from July this year to 2010.

Has it worked for Yahoo Password?

When I use it, it does not cause FF 1.5 to remember the password.

I use it.. dont have any issues with it not working, but yahoo has log
in pages all over the place, so it might be working on one of them, but
not another one.

It does if you do the 'log in as new user' thing.

I have several yahoo accounts, and it's kind of a nuisance to switch among
them because it's not always simple to get to the 'log in as new user' screen
from where you happen to be within the yahoo site.

Didn't mozilla used to offer a choice of identities/passwords on pages with
several such possibilities?

OK, FF still does, it's just that yahoo is really picky about allowing two
logins, which is a nuisance.

work just fine.
