Yahoo mail login says Firefox won't accept cookies but my option is too accept cookies - so what's wrong?

My wife and I can't log into our Yahoo e-mail accounts (or, I guess, our Yahoo account). Whenever we try, we get the message: "The browser you're using refuses to sign in (cookies rejected)".
However, my cookies setting in Firefox is: 1) accept cookies 2) accept third-party cookies 3) keep cookies until they expire.
A few days ago I did change the cookie settings to 1) accept cookies from sites 2) do not accept cookies from sites 3) ask me every time. I also deleted a lot of cookies I didn't recognize or didn't want. I did this because I was (and still am) having trouble with a re-direction virus.
So if anyone has any suggestions as to what needs to be done to make Yahoo e-mail accessible again I would very much appreciate their advice.
I thank everyone for their advice in advance.
Thanks a million.

  • My location bar won't suggest sites, but my settings are telling it to. What's wrong?

    You know, when you start typing a letter or two into the location bar and a list of sites you've visited appear in the dropdown. On the privacy settings page, I have History set to "Firefox will: Remember History" and Location Bar "When using location bar, suggest: History and Bookmarks." What other settings could be preventing it from working?

    The Firefox location bar is the address bar, just another name for it.

  • Safari won't recognize my yahoo mail login certificate. says it's bogus.

    Safari won't recognize my yahoo mail login certificate. says it's bogus.

    Maybe you could provide just a few more details for us.  So what I would wonder is, has it done this before or is it a new Mac and your first time trying?  If it's not your first time are you using a bookmarked link?  Do you show an update for Safari in your Software Updates?  If not have you by any chance tried clearing your cache?  If that still maybe try going to Safari > Reset Safari?
    Hope this is helpful.  If none of this works let us know what you've tried and any other information you can think of!

  • Cannot log out of yahoo mail comletely with firefox for the past two week or so

    Recently I have been unable to log out of yahoo mail completely with firefox. I get the following error message: "The connection has timed out. The server at us.lrd.yahoo.com is taking too long to respond." I have more than one yahoo mail acct. and cannot log into a different acct until the first one is closed out completely. On the error message page there is "Try Again" button. This has occasionally helped but rarely.
    I have tried opening FF in safe mode but this has not helped at all. I have used two other browsers to access my yahoo mail to see it the problem was with yahoo or FF. Both browsers repeatedly logged out of yahoo mail without a problem.

    I don't think it's a Firefox issue. I switched to Chrome because the newest Yahoo Mail just doesn't work in Firefox, and Mozilla says its a Yahoo problem, which I believe. The email works great while I'm in Chrome, but I can't sign out without going to the Yahoo home page and using that sign out link. Conversely, I CAN sign out in Firefox (been flipping back & forth the past few days trying to figure it out). I just tried it in Internet Explorer and still can't sign out. I never had any Yahoo mail problems in any of these three browsers until the latest version of Yahoo mail came out, and now I just close the browser to sign out -- it's faster, for me anyway.

  • IPhoto says it won't import photos from my Fujifilm Finepix S1000 camera because it's the wrong format (jpeg).  It always has before... but I upgraded to Lion then went back to Snow Leopard and now it's not working.  Suggestions?  Thanks!

    As a Test:
    Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
    Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

  • Whenever I try to log in to my Gmail account, the page redirects for a loooong time, then says that it won't load properly, and that the problem may be caused by not enabling cookies, but I have them enabled. Any idea what the problem might really be?

    I did think about that and if I have to I will do that, however there are about 50 songs. I have closed and reopened iTunes several times and I am sure that I have the latest version. It fails right away but I can click on the cloud download icon and download the song that it failed on ... therefore it is not that song "or any one song" causing the issue. Any ideas?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Firstly, you need to change your details with Apple,  Start here, change your country if necessary and go to manage your account.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
    Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another account, when you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iTunes account on your iOS device, you need to sign out from your iOS device first, then sign back in using your updated details. (Settings > store, scroll down and tap your ID)

    - The iPod uses the location of a nerby or connected router to determine it location based on a database of routers and their location. It appears that the routers near y are not in Appl'es database.  As of yet, nobody here seems to know how to get routers added to the database.
    - If you go to Strtbucks. McDonalds or another networks does the location show in the Maps app?

  • Firefox 3.6.13 would not load under xp on acer computer. deleted in and downloaded version 4, but still does not load, just hangs system. what is wrong?

    a couple weeks ago, firefox stopped loading (just hung system) on my acer computer running windows xp. I deleted firefox and downloaded versin 4.0.1. But, the same thing is happening. it starts to load but then stops responding and hangs the system. what is wrong?

    I also have this problem and it just started in the last week or so. It seems to be dependent on my home network and the problem only exists with firefox. I have used chrome and IE8 with no issues. I can verify tomorrow that it only exists in my network but one thing I was able to test is that the problem exists even on my linux boot. I am totally dumbfounded with this problem and I can't find anything that will allow the gmail page to load. All other pages I have tried load fine, all be it a little slower than normal but they load. If anyone knows of a difference between firefox and all other browsers on how it goes through the router I would appreciate the info cause I don't know of any differences.

  • My yahoo mail wont open. It opens in IE but not in Firefox. Its just stays in page loading mode and never actually loading or going to an error page. Can you help?

    I also have a problem with my Facebook page where the page doesn't fully load and I cannot see the people who are live in chat.
    I have been able to login on occasion by googling yahoo mail and logging through the Google link but that is not working tonight.

    By the way, the safari setting is: private browsing off and accept cookies from visited. Much help is appreciated!

    Hi Behrouz,
    Please try if you can access the site on computers outside your Company network. This could help us to narrow down the issue and see if the “The Hardware Firewall
    won't allow any Computers to access any ports Except Port 8” causes the issue.
    The error message you encountered is described in the article below, please see if it suits your situation:

    In addition, you could check ULS log or IIS log and see if there is any related message.
