I changed my password, but when I went to sign in again, the old password was still there. I tried to fix this by deleting all Yahoo cookies in Firefox, but the old password still was there. Any fix for this?
Yahoo mail keeps inserting an old password

In Firefox go to
about:logins
Search for yahoo.
You will get a list of the yahoo logins it remembers for you. You can click on each then click on the eye icon to the right of the password dots then it will show you the password. You can click on the Edit or Remove icons up to the right of the login.yahoo.com to make any changes you want.

You don't have one pass or something similar installed do you?
You might try to do the opposite of the suggestions on this page:

Not to my knowledge.
My main question is why when I delete Yahoo cookies, it doesn't erase the login info like it used to. Also, when I do any cookie deletions, my HD light comes on. I waited 15 minutes and the HD light didn't go off, but it did when I closed the browser.

Did you check to see if the cookies were still gone the next time you open your browser? Perhaps the light stays on because the hard drive is having problems?

Yes I did look and they were gone. I just wonder if my email account was compromised.

Are they both your Firefox?
Can you try a different browser?

Don't know. With Facebook you can see where they log in from or at least the IP address they used. Don't use Yahoo.
