I always used firefox for browsing and my email connection. Since doing Firefox update approx one week ago every time I sign into my Yahoomail account I keep getting a verification request, to be sent by sms, which used to do this once after clearing history and cookies. This costs me 15 cents every time, particularly if I need to check multiple times per day. Internet Explorer does not do this. What has happened?
