hotmail: 30s delay with lock up when I press "reply"
With Firefox 14.0.1 in Hotmail when I press "reply" on a message then Firefox locks up for about 30s. This happens after the reply message appears but before it fills in the "to" box.

OK, thanks. I tried all of that. It still does it.
It looks like it's related to a script that fills in the "to" address box.

It seems to be related to the Add On "Microsoft silverlight plugin 4.1.10329.0". I thought that safe mode disabled add ons.
Safe Mode might not disable Plugins, but it definitely disables Extensions.
I just updated Silverlight and that solved the problem for me!
