Each time i go into Firefox and check my yahoo mail, Firefox is not keeping me signed into the email. Yahoo asks me to login and thinks I'm a new laptop again.

My yahoo mail account requires a password to login each time I start firefox. It does not do this when I use Edge my a browser. I also get a message from yahoo email that states this pc has never been used to log into my email before, which it has. How do I fix this?

Hi, are you running in Private Mode or do you have Tracking Protection set as Always ?

Please list what Extensions your running and what Security Software your using.

Are you accepting 3rd Party Cookies and or cookies for Yahoo ? What is the settings you have for that ?

Do you have in Options --> Privacy & Security at the page top Forms and Passwords a Exception made for Yahoo ?

Down the page further with Permissions have you created a Exception there.

Do you use cleaner software of some sort like ccleaner or iobit ?
