Firefox does not save my my.yahoo homepage. It gets saved in IE but not in Firefox. It opens a generic yahoo page and when I start to key my ID it shows it and it has saved my password. This is in Win7, my Vista PC works fine.

This seems to have started a few weeks ago when I was on ver 3, I changed to ver 8 with the same result. Vista IE, Vista IE and Win7 IE all work correctly.
