Why does my Yahoo and Facebook account keep resetting in the 2nd profile I created?

I have 2 profiles, one for my wife and one for me. When either of us in on profile 2, our Yahoo and Facebook accounts keep logging us out. I was just on Facebook writing a response to a friend and I get a "Your not logged in" message pop up and it logs me out. SO I go to my Yahoo account tab and it's telling me to "Sign in" after I was already signed in. This doesn't happen on profile 1. Have had this set up for years. It just started doing this recently (the few weeks). How can I fix this.

You can only log in to one profile at the time in a specific Firefox session.
It doesn't help to open another window because you are still in the same session and use the same cookies from the first account you logged on to.

If this does happen with a second Firefox profile then you may have to check the connection settings used in that profile.

If you do not need to use a proxy to connect to internet then try to select "No Proxy" if the "Use the system proxy settings" setting or one of the others doesn't work properly.

See "Firefox connection settings":
