yahoo mail does not remember my username or password every time?

I have checked the box for signing in every two weeks - yet every time I go to yahoo mail - even in the same day - it requires me to sign in. I'm using Firefox. It used to work fine for me then one day I put in the wrong password by mistake and I then put in the right one but from that day on it always asks me to sign in again - http://answers.yahoo.com/question/ask?title=yahoo+... time! Really getting sick of this.

Update:

Yes - I clear my history and cache and all of that - I had assumed that goes without saying.

    Do you clear your browser history regularly? (History -> Clear Recent History). This could be the cause because it might be clearing out your saved passwords.
