Firefox signs me out of Yahoo every few minutes - literally!!
I've read many solutions to this problem and none of them has worked. I have been researching this for a couple of weeks now, and have not found anything that will help. It doesn't happen in IE, but I have another problem with that browser (it keeps closing on me).
I have to re-sign in two or three times every five minutes, then I can maybe stay signed on for a few minutes, then again and again...

There is a very long thread here in the forum on this problem.
One possible cause is your proxy settings. If you check this deeply buried dialog, you may be able to correct it:
orange Firefox button or classic Tools menu > Options > Advanced > Network
Click the "Settings" button and choose either "No Proxy" or "Use System Settings" option, and OK the change. See whether that helps.

I changed it to "no proxy" and it seems to have worked. Thank you.
