The plugin makes requests under the covers to Yahoo.  For that to work, you need to have your browser configured to allow cookies.

Mozilla Firefox

These instructions are for Firefox 3.5 - they're a bit different for earlier versions.

The easiest way to do this is to:

  • Go to Tools->Options
  • Click on the Security tab
  • Change the drop-down to Use custom settings for history
  • Make sure you have both Accept cookies from sites and Accept third-party cookies checked.

If you're particularly concerned about security, then instead you can add a specific exception for Yahoo using the Exceptions button.

Internet Explorer

These instructions are for Internet Explorer 8 - they're a bit different for earlier versions.

The way to do this is to:

  • Go to Tools->Options
  • Click on the Privacy tab
  • Click on Advanced
  • Check Override automatic cookie handling
  • Make sure First-party Cookies and Third-party cookies are set to Accept.
