Clear the cache and the cookies from sites that cause problems.

"Clear the Cache":

  • Firefox > Preferences > Advanced > Network > Offline Storage (Cache): "Clear Now"

"Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:

  • Firefox > Preferences > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"

Start Firefox in Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

More Information

I have Firefox 4 and I use Hotmail. I've never had this problem before. When I use Safari, the problem isn't there. That's why I think it's Firefox. It says Microsoft will contact me. I gave up on their "help" site. Thought maybe you can help.

Thank you! Thank you! I cleared the cache and removed Cookies, and no difference. However, after I started Firefox in Safe Mode and disabled Add-ons, I no longer get the message and can send e-mails. Thanks again!

You're welcome.

If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.

  • Use "Disable all add-ons" on the Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode start window to disable all extensions.
  • Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
