I am able to log in to Yahoo mail but it keeps asking me for my password every 2 or 3 mins

I have Mac. Since I have updated to firefox 13.0.1 I have trouble with my yahoo mail. I am able to log in but it keeps asking me to type my password every 2 mins. the exact line is this below.
" Sorry, your session has expired. To protect your account, you need to confirm your password periodically." I have contacted to Yahoo help but they said the firefox update problem. Would you know how to fix this problem? Thank you

There is a very long thread here in the forum on this problem.
One possible cause, at least on Windows, is your proxy settings. If you check this deeply buried dialog, you may be able to correct it:
Firefox > Preferences > Advanced > Network
Click the "Settings" button and choose either "No Proxy" or "Use System Settings" option, and OK the change. See whether that helps.

  • I can't log into apple mail with out it asking me for a password.

    I can't log into apple mail with out it asking me for a password. It never used to do this. What can I do to be able to send a email without having to type in a password?

    Hey it4daddy73,
    What mail provider are you currently using (Gmail, iCloud, Yahoo?).
    Open up safari and go to that providers website and log into your email.
    If you get in than open the mail app and click on mail on the top of the screen, then go down to preferences, click on the accounts tab, and type your password. Close the window and it will save.
    If this doesn't work I would even try deleting the account by going into mail/preferences/accounts and clicking the - button in the bottom left corner. Than re add and configure the account by pressing the + button.
    Hope this works, and good luck.

  • HT201209 Want to set up my children's IPad's with their own Apple ID.  Trying to set up yahoo accounts and it will not allow me to do this.  I wan them only to be able to purchase from rdeemed gift cards but it keeps asking me to update credit card info

    Want to create Apple ID for both my children's IPad's.  Tried creating new email account for my son and it will not let me.  I want them to be only able to purchase from redeemed gift cards and everytime it asks me to update credit card info on their Ipad.

    Look, I understand I still need a card attached to the account. The problem is, it won't accept my card because I only have 87 cents in my bank account right now.
    If I had known there would be so much trouble with the iTunes card, I would have just put the cash in my bank account in the morning instead of buying an iTunes card (I didn't expect the banks to be open on Thanksgiving of course).
    Apple will only accept cards that have a balance. The balance is so small in my account that it won't accept it as a valid card.
    I'm going to have to contact Apple anyway to reset the security questions. That's obvious. Your answers were not exactly helpful. You didn't tell me anything I don't already know, but thanks for trying to be helpful.

  • Have deleted a Yahoo account from Mail but it keep asking for password

    My Mail on the iMac has several email accounts for my wife and I, we have recently deleted my wifes Yahoo account because of spam mail, as well as deleting it through Yahoo, the email account in Mail was removed. Ever since we have been receiving prompts for the password to the deleted account. I have checked through preferences and there is definitely no reference to the account. Is there something else I need to delete?

    thanks mende1 - I have lion and have checked as you have mentioned above - the email account is not listed there - it's still asking for the password though

  • I am unable to access my emails since last update talk talk have checked thier end and say mozilla is the problem please help. I am able to log on to web mail but unable to go any further, what do i do?

    I can log on to my email addresses and can see my inbox button but nothing happens when i click on the button on any of my 3 email addresses. Talk talk support has gone through everything with me and says all ok there end they can access my emails and says my mozilla browser is corrupted. What do I do?

    Apparently TalkTalk mail will work with Firefox 4 and Firefox 5 ''if'' you set the browser to ''lie'' to TalkTalk mail by saying that you are still using version 3.6.
    You can find the instructions for that in a post on the TalkTalk forums: [http://www.talktalk.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=185113#post2452787 Firefox 4 & TalkTalk webmail - Forums].
    Note: when you open about:config the first time, it will display a warning message that you should be careful with the changes you make. That's definitely good to bear in mind.
    Does it work?

  • I am having trouble logging into itunes and redeeming cards on itunes. I enter the redeem code or go to log in and when i enter my password i get stuck in a loop. It keeps asking me for my password. Help...

    I get caught in a loop when trying to log into my account in iTunes and redeeming cards. When i enter my password i get stuck in a loop where i kept getting asked for it over and over again. The weird thing is intermittently - maybe after 20 or 30 times it lets me redeem/in. But then it has the same problem again... I tried chat and it kept dropping out. Any help would be very welcome.

    Ok, time to report the issue here:

  • Once a password is remembered for a site, and then changed, (yahoo mail), Firefox will not asked to remember new password once it is changed.

    Firefox is asking to remember passwords, once remembered and changed.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == I changed password in Yahoo mail

    Here's how I fixed this issue (2 steps):
    1. Tools > Options > Security > Saved Passwords > highlight the website you want Firefox to forget the old password to > Remove > Close.
    2. Back to the Tools > Options > Security window, click the Exceptions button to the right of "remember passwords for sites" > find the website you want Firefox to remember the new password for > Remove > Close.
    Now you can navigate to the site, type in your username and new password, login, and Firefox will ask you if you want to save the password.

  • When logging in into yahoo mail after typing in password Firefox is adding something, login fails all the time. At yahoo mail Notepad does not work because it is impossible to close the list of items and they cover information, so I have to go to IE.

    When logging in into yahoo mail after typing in password Firefox is adding something, probably remembered password and login fails all the time. At yahoo mail Notepad does not work because it is impossible to close the list of items and they cover information, so I have to go to IE.

    Only when i go to a different browser (like IE) after i clear it , then all that shows up is the pages i visited in IE , that is what bugs me , why is IE browsing history sowing up in Firefox ??
    Basically , i can clear the history in Firefox , and then for a example , go to Craigslist , using IE7 (launching it from a complete different Icon , in other words at that time i never open Firefox) , then after closing out , or even leaving open as it does not seem to matter , i go into Firefox , and hit History , and there is every place i visited in IE7 , on my History in Firefox

  • Firefox 5 was working fine and suddenly refused to let me log in to yahoo mail

    I installed the latest version of Firefox. My yahoo mail was working fine but today I am unable to log in. I can log into my Yahoo account but not my mail. I've tried clearing the cookies, then allowing the yahoo cookies, to no avail. I've started and restarted the computer/browser. Yahoo mail works fine on my never-updated version of Safari. Any new ideas on this?

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
