my homepage is http://my.yahoo.com/atm?suid=40769041&_signin=1

firefox adds =bc1 to the end of the location when it loads. Instead of taking me to my homepage (it has my username and password stores) it takes me to the generic yahoo page, and I have to sign in manually.

It is Yahoo who is doing the redirection on that link if you are not logged on:

Status: HTTP/1.1 302 Found 
Location: /atm?suid=40769041&_signin=1&_bc=1
