Outlook.com does not automatically refresh the Inbox in Firefox, only manually clicking the refresh button updates the Inbox. I don't have this issue in IE or Chrome. Hotmail.com didn't have this issue in Firefox, unfortunately I can't go back to Hotmail.com.
I have closed the tab that Outlook.com was open in. I have cleared the cache in Firefox. I have restarted Firefox.

csunyafreemail 2 months ago I also have this problem. I surfed for a solution even on Microsoft support sites, but it seems that no solution exists yet : ( It's definitely a really weird problem, cause it works in IE and chrome, and a support guy on an MS site claims that also works for him, with a fresh install of FF (which means he didn't install any add-ons). But I don't have any clue why any addon should interfer with a periodic ajax request. mayb adblock, but i don't have it installed, so it would be really nice if someone, maybe a dev at mozilla could check this issue. Thanks in advance!

csunyafreemail 2 months ago Checked out in firebug, seems like the poll requests are timing out or something. If it works for somebody, please could you post a firebug net window, to see the difference, and maybe localize the source of the problem? (I mean if it is mozilla related, or ms related)

cor-el 2 months ago Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See "Creating a profile":
- https://support.mozilla.org/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles
- http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues
If the new profile works then you can transfer some files from an existing profile to the new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

szatkoff 2 months ago cor-el - Your suggestion led me to the problem and fix. It ended up being the Adblock Plus plugin. Once I discovered this, I found this at their website and now all is well. I guess next time I will disable Add-ons first. Thanks to you and the others for the suggestions!
