When composing email in Yahoo mail, it used to fill in the address automatically after the first few letters. Now it doesn't do that, and I have to go to contacts and find the name and tell it to use that name. Autofill still work in Safari.

Make sure that "Automatically start Firefox in a private browsing session" doesn't have a checkmark.

I've not changed anything, and not even sure where I would set that. I did just discover, however, that firefox on my PC also doesn't fill in the names, but IE does, so it seems to be related to yahoo and firefox exclusively, and I did update both the pc and the mac firefox versions recently. Thanks for responding, and let me know if you have any other thoughts on it. It's not a terrible thing, just annoying, and it "shouldn't be" that way!
