Firefox shows wrong clickable email address on yahoo mail sign in field when I type first letter. explorer gets it right.age

When I type the first letters into the sign in box on the Yahoo Mail sign in page via my latest edition Firefox browser, (on Windows Vista) my clickable Hotmail address shows in the drop down box instead of my Yahoo address, (Both begin with the same word.) so I then need to always type in my correct Yahoo address to sign in. Internet Explorer gets it right, making me think it's a browser issue.
I've tried the settings in Yahoo, and everything in Firefox Tools/Options I can think of. Thanks for any help!

*Click the (empty) input field on the web page to open the drop down list
*Highlight an entry in the drop down list
*Press the Delete key (on Mac: Shift+Delete) to remove it.
You can also remove saved passwords here:
*Tools > Options > Security: Passwords: "Saved Passwords" > "Show Passwords"

Have windows 7 w/email address, click on address & firefox says email default not set properly, i say ok, it transfers the email address to yahoo mail, but it always has firefoxhtml after it & i have to delete that portion, help

I hit ctrl key & click on the email address in windows 7 that I am sending an email to. Firefox gives me the message "Could not perform this operation because the default mail client is not properly installed". I click the OK option & the person's email address appears in yahoo mail ready for me to compose my email, but it always puts FirefoxHTML right after the person's email address & I have to go up & delete that portion. If I forget, the email is returned as error. Please help.

The "Use custom settings for history" selection allows to see the current history and cookie settings, but selecting this doesn't make any changes to history and cookie settings.
Firefox shows "Use custom settings for history" as an indication that at least one of the history and cookie settings is not the default to make you aware that changes were made.
If all History settings are default then the custom settings are hidden and you see "Firefox will: (Never) Remember History".
"Never Remember History" means that Private Browsing is active and "Always use private browsing mode" gets a checkmark.
You need to remove the checkmark on "Always use private browsing mode" to leave Private Browsing mode or chose the "Remember History" setting.

Firefox will not "auto fill" email addresses in Yahoo mail. How do I get this to work?

This used to work. I have a new laptop and am not sure if this is a laptop issue, a Yahoo issue, or a Firefox issue. It is very annoying to have to go to my address book every time I want to send an email because names are not recognized. This was not a problem on my previous lap top. I also think that this was not a problem with the previous version of Firefox.

Odd that grant_cm reported this a year ago, and it only started happening to me in the last week or so. What's more, email autofill with Yahoo still works for me in Safari on my Mac. I prefer the Firefox browser, but this issue is a real pain, and what's more your CAN'T insert a list from you address book. Sure would like to know what happened and how to fix this.

I want to correct my email address for yahoo mail

Yahoo mail email address is incorrect...how do I change it???

The instructions to do so are provided in the article you asked this question from, but require correctly answering two of the security questions. If you can't do that, you need to ask Apple to reset the questions; ways of contacting them include phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, clicking here and picking a method for your country, and filling out and submitting this form.

Using a personal email address with Yahoo Mail

I have a premium Yahoo Mail account which allows me to receive mail from an external account (one with an address that does not end in yahoo.com) and send mail as that account as well (so my recipients never see a yahoo.com email address or otherwise know I use yahoo mail).
When I set up the account on my iPhone, I can browse and read my mail fine, but I can't figure out how to send mail using my preferred address. All my outgoing mail from the iPhone has the yahoo.com address. I can't find a place to put my preferred address - if I put it into the address field, then the Mail client can no longer sign in to Yahoo Mail because this is also my account name with Yahoo.
What I need is a place to indicate an email address for new messages which is different than the account name, but I can't find it.
Is this possible to do? How should I set it up?
Thanks,
Frank

It is not possible.

On facetime it shows my old email address and wont let me type in a new one

HELP!!!!!!
When I tap on facetime and switch it on, it shows my old email address that I don't have the password to, and wont let me change it on my IPHONE 4S, it just says "waiting for activation" even though I don't use that email address anymore. IT WONT LET ME CHANGE MY EMAIL ADDRESS! HELLLPPP

I had that same problem. So,
Go to Settings
Scroll down to FaceTime
Once in it, Choose add another email.
Or, turn facetime off, and then exit Settings. Tap on the FaceTime app. it should have you sign using another email.
Hope this helps!

Thanks for your reply. Having read through relevant topics it suggests that if I sync my iphone with the correct account on my pc it should use that one thereafter. i will try both.

TS3988 Can someone please help me?   I have an Iphone 5 and Love it except for one thing. I changed email address from yahoo to Gmail and updated it on my Apple ID at Apple. Apple recognizes and accepts this change but Icloud won't update the new email

I have an Iphone 5 and Love it. Except for one thing; I recently changed from ymail email account to a gmail account. I updated it on the
Apple/ Itunes site and it does accept the change. I can still access the APP store and Itunes.
However, sometimes I get a pop up box from Apple showing the old email address and asking me to sign in..... I hit cancel and move on.   But, now Icloud keeps popping up promting me to sign in and it shows the old email which I don't have anymore.... I tried signing in with the old info to clear it off screen of my phone but, it doesn't allow and I hit cancel and it goes away. only to appear later again.... This is so frustrating and annoying.    Is there any way to get the Icloud to update the email address with my Apple ID log in info--without having to delete stuff or lose things on my phone?
Please help?
Dia

Thank you for replying.    Yes I deleted the old email address..

Open the App Store app, go to the Featured pane, swipe to the bottom, tap the Apple ID and sign out. Tap again and sign in with the Apple ID of your choosing.

After I updated to iOS 7, my iCloud account is showing the incorrect email address for my Apple ID but will not allow me to change it- it's gray and I can't click on it. How do I fix this?

If you change your email, you do not need to "change" your AppleID. Just edit your email(s) on your Apple ID by logging in to your AppleID account. You should always use the same AppleID for Apple Services (iCloud, iTunes etc) and multiple ID will cause problems and confusion in the future.
You can manage your Apple ID here:

Welcome to the Apple Community.
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 > iTunes & App store, scroll down and tap your ID)
If you are using iMessages or FaceTime, you will also need to log out and into your ID there too.

My iCloud account shows an old email address i no longer use even though I've updated my apple id with my new email information. How do I get the old email account off my iCloud

my iCloud account shows an old email address i no longer use even though I've updated my apple id with my new email information. It keeps asking me my old password to the old email address which is NOT a valid email any longer. I'm unable to manage my iCloud until this is resolved. HELP

If your Apple ID is the one that you use for making all of your purchases, it should, automatically appear in FaceTime already. How a no longer valid email address got there to begin with is a mystery to me, if in fact you do have, and have been using another Apple ID.
Go to Settings>FaceTime>Apple ID. Tap the old email address and sign out, sign in with your Apple ID. It should be verified and allow you to select it as the address that you can be reached by for FaceTime.
If that does not work, time FaceTime off, restart your iPad and then start all over again.

My apple ID is showing someone elses email address and not mine so when i want to buy or update apps it brings this other email address up. please can someone help how do i put it back to my email address?

First go here - https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/ and login under the manage tab. Check your information and be sure it is all correct.
An AppleID is nothing more than an email address, so if you see another email address in the store, then someone has logged in with a different AppleID than yours. Did you let someone else use your iPhone?
