This is most likely a problem with the Yahoo cookies.
Make sure that you allow cookies for the Yahoo site (Tools > Page Info > Permissions)
- Cookies - Information that websites store on your computer
- Enhanced Tracking Protection in Firefox for desktop
Clear the cache and the cookies from sites that cause problems.
- "Clear the Cache": Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Offline Storage (Cache): "Clear Now"
- "Remove the Cookies" from sites causing problems: Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
If clearing the cookies doesn't help then it is possible that the file cookies.sqlite that stores the cookies is corrupted.
Rename (or delete) cookies.sqlite (cookies.sqlite.old) and delete cookies.sqlite-journal and cookies.txt, if they exist, in the Profile Folder in case the file cookies.sqlite got corrupted.
Thank you Cor-el. I enabled my cookies and now the problem is kaput!
