Heilsa!

Have an fresh install of Firefox 2.0.17 on a fresh install of WindowsXPsp3 on a Pavilion 533w I am working on and it won't remember Yahoo mail password. Internet Explorer does! I unistalled Firefox 2.0.17 and reinstalled it to no avail. Have tried all of the settings, checked ZoneAlarm firewall settings to no avail. Have shut off ZoneAlarm and the same thing. What could it be? Does anyone know? Can anyone help me out here?

The individual who has this PC doesn't like having to have to retype his pass in constantly.

Ejsii. Its not Yahoo that causes problem, I can save my pass word for as long as I can, without signing in.....IE works perfectly.

Or maybe there are some settings from FF that you miss.( I don't use FF , so I don't know)

I have never been able to save password for yahoo or hotmail.


I have a text file with the passwords that i keep handy and i just copy and paste from the text file.

Well, Firefox is remebering the password on this PC for yahoo now. I enabled the cookies to be kept until they expire as I had Firefox cookies set to where they were removed when he closed Firefox. After enabling them to be kept until they expired did it for some reason, I guess. Don't see why that would make a difference as I would think that it would've been the save password settings in Firefox itself not the cookies. Don't see how the saving of cookies would have anything to do with the saving of passwords.

Thank you all for your time and effort! I hope this works for and helps others who have the same problem!
