Yahoo mail login says Firefox won't accept cookies but my option is too accept cookies - so what's wrong?
My wife and I can't log into our Yahoo e-mail accounts (or, I guess, our Yahoo account). Whenever we try, we get the message: "The browser you're using refuses to sign in (cookies rejected)".
However, my cookies setting in Firefox is: 1) accept cookies 2) accept third-party cookies 3) keep cookies until they expire.
A few days ago I did change the cookie settings to 1) accept cookies from sites 2) do not accept cookies from sites 3) ask me every time. I also deleted a lot of cookies I didn't recognize or didn't want. I did this because I was (and still am) having trouble with a re-direction virus.
So if anyone has any suggestions as to what needs to be done to make Yahoo e-mail accessible again I would very much appreciate their advice.
I thank everyone for their advice in advance.
Thanks a million.

hello gkerby1952, please try all the steps mentioned at Websites say cookies are blocked - Unblock them.
in addition, if you're having issues with redirecting adware, i'd recommend removing the Slick Savings 2.6 & SoundFrost 3.7.0 extensions that you've currently installed. also go to the windows control panel / programs and remove all toolbars or potentially unwanted software from there and run a full scan of your system with the security software that you have in place and different other tools like the free version of malwarebytes & adwcleaner.
