Yahoo Webmail Sessions

Hi All!!!,
This is the third time I saw some one else's inbox
i.e Yahoo Webmail, being opened right after signing in
with my credentials.
After typing in the credentials, I get an entirely new
session. Further if I try to click open "Check mail" I
get an - "invalid mailbox state" error.
I am using mozilla firefox browser(on win2k) and am
behind squid. Similarly in my last company ditto
phenomenon occured ( but only once) using ISA proxy
server (ISA plugin).
Am I being sniffed etc ...
Please can anyone give any pointers how this can
happen and how can I avoid my session being hijacked
to others similarly.
Thanks
rohit
