I have to log in to yahoo mail every time I open firefox
« on: September 08, 2013, 01:02:19 PM »
Hi,

How do I set the free version of avast so I don't have to log in to yahoo every time I open yahoo. It shd be a cookies setting, no? But I can't seem to find it...

Tx in advance, aguero

i recomend Bing toolbar for IE. (i usually hate toolbars, but this i use)
not sure if there is similar stuff for FF

then you can enter your mail accounts in it...
it wil notify you when there are new mail... and it is a one click to log in

Maybe I wasn't clear. Before I started using avast I didn't have to provide username and password for yahoo every time I opened firefox, now I do. This is definitely nothing to do with any setting on avast..?

Aguero.

I run FF 23 and I use Yahoo and I do not have to enter my User and password everytime I have to login.

Are you running CCleaner or a program that might be set to remove passwords when logging out or rebooting the computer ?

In FF Options > Privacy tab. Do you have " Remove browser history when closing FF " ?

NP. De nada.

Also check FF option just in case. Pondus' idea.

if this is cookie related .... there is a cookie smart scan setting in CCleaner

you can also untic cleaning for browsers in CCleaner, so you may want to tweak those settings
