After logging into yahoo mail, within a short period (sometimes minutes) I am required to sign back in. All settings are correct to keep me signed in to no avail. When using IE and accessing mail, there are no problems...keeps me signed in. With Firefox, I can be in the middle of typing an email and it logs me back out. I removed firefox and re-installed and still the same issues. Very annoying!! Please help!

This can be caused by the connection settings having the default setting.

Try to select the "No Proxy" setting instead of the default "Use the system proxy settings" setting.
