When I using the Auto Complete functionality of Yahoo Mail, sometimes it does
not work. Especially, this occurs when it log outs itself because of time-out
(i.e, after an hour), and after i log in again. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Yahoo Mail logs out itself due to timeout.
2.I log in again.


Actual Results:  
Autocomplete function does not work.

Expected Results:  
Autocomplete function must work always.

Let me try to get this straight:

1) You hit compose mail.
2) You wait an hour in order to let yahoo timeout after last action.
3) You try to write the mail, using autocomplete, which doesn't work, as you've
timed out.
4) This is somehow Firefox's fault.

Could you clarify?  I'm misreading this somehow.

Certainly no!
How can I compose an email when I logged out? 
Can this be a problem of a web browser?
No!


Ok, I repeat again to clarify the problem.

I log in to Yahoo Mail.
It log outs after an hour or after two hours, or anytime (This an option that
can be configured in Mail options).
Because it logged out, I log in again to see my e-mails.
And this time I want to compose an email, but,
Auto-complete function of Yahoo Mail does not work.

There is no such a problem in IE.

Isn't this somehow Firefox's fault?

This is a problem with Yahoo's code on the mail.yahoo.com page. They disable the
password manager with an element in the page.

Over to General.  I think the reporter is talking about Yahoo's own autocomplete
of the To: field based on entries in the Yahoo Address Book.

It is correct: I'am talking about Yahoo's own autocomplete in To field...
You are right!
It not always happens, maybe not a bug of Firefox.
But it is certain that there is a bug either in Yahoo Mail or in Firefox..
