Why does it take so long for Yahoo mail to close when I sign out of mail? It doesn't take long at all when I use internet explorer.

Recently I have noticed that when I sign out of Yahoo mail, it takes several minutes for the sign out to occur. I thought it might be clutter in my history account or cookies or something, but can't figure out how to delete history/cookies without deleting my passwords.

Then I thought it was Yahoo, but I noticed that I don't have the problem with I use Internet Explorer as my browser. So I'm thinking it's something in Mozilla. Perhaps from the latest upgrade as the problem is fairly new?

Thank you

Kathy
