I understand that when you compose anew email in yahoo that the contacts no longer autocomplete.

Please update your Adobe Flash version to version 17 and check the settings for interactive web pages:

Control whether Firefox automatically fills in forms might help for starters, however if this is a setting in Yahoo mail is it possible that it was turned off in the web mail settings?

Have you also asked in the Yahoo forums?

this feature works fine in other browsers (Safari). i have not changed any settings. i am not referring to autofilling forms - that works fine. i am talking about when i go to write a new email & start to type a name or contact it does not show the different address options to choose from. I have to go into the address book & look the person up by name. this only started since the last few updates of Firefox. HELP!
