Yahoo Fantasy sports client repeatedly asks for login password
Hello,
Im using Firefox 48.0.2 with Windows 10, and I recently fan into a problem with Yahoo's fantasy sports client - it enters into an infinite loop when I try to launch a mock draft/regular draft, and asks for my password. No matter how many times I enter the password, it loops me back to the password login screen.
Any ideas on what it can be? All Java/Adobe plugins are up-to-date and active.
Thanks!

Thanks for the suggestion, but none of these worked. Now I'm having trouble staying logged in to other sites as well. I recently installed a fresh version of Firefox 32, as well as Java, and nothing has worked. Very frustrating, as you can imagine.
Thanks.
Why did you install v32? It is very old.

I installed v32 because it uses less system resources and offers similar performance on systems with 4GB or less of RAM.
Thanks for the links, but nothing seems to be working. Staying logged into Eastbay is also an issue now. The whole thing is strange, since Firefox worked well for years until recently. I did set everything to delete upon closing the program, with the exception of Site preferences. I'm wondering if something changed with that or maybe AdFender or AVG is causing some sort of disruption.
Anything else you think I might have overlooked?
