Why am I getting a number of session expired terminations on my yahoo email since upgrading to 31.0?

more options

Sometimes I'm logged into my yahoo email for just a few seconds and am getting a session expired notice. I've run Malwarebytes to look for malware, but it came up empty. Never had this problem prior to upgrading to Firefox 31.0.

I have not tried other browsers. I don't like either IE or Chrome.

Any ideas what to do?

Thanks.

Currently, your More System Details shows you start up automatically in private browsing mode (Privacy set to "Never remember history"). Is that the same as how you were using Yahoo! mail in Firefox 30?

In the past, Yahoo! sites were sensitive to connection changes. You generally could not stay logged in with one of the connection settings:

"3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced > Network mini-tab > "Settings" button

  • "Auto-detect proxy settings" caused problems
  • "No proxy" should work

Not sure whether that is a factor here. Is there anything else that could be causing your connection to vary, such as a private VPN or Tor?
