Ticking the "Remember Me" button on the log in screen makes this WFM.

Ticking "Keep me logged in" will not work

Username and password are not saved because Yahoo uses autocomplete="off" on its login forms.  Your login is probably not persisting because you are refusing cookies, or expiring them at session end.
