Comment(by mikeperry):

 To be honest, I have not been watching closely. Do these requests cause
 cookies to get set or anything like that? I don't see any in my cookie
 list, and I have not changed this pref, and my browser has been open for
 about 48 hours or so.

 If cookies are set, perhaps we can just merge the pref change if you go a
 long time without seeing a yahoo cookie (since who uses yahoo anyways?)
