Hi
Unfortunately Microsoft has misconfigured a security feature (OCSP stapling) on their servers which got now cached in your local firefox installation.
In order to resolve that, please enter about:config into the Firefox address bar (confirm the info message in case it shows up) and search for the preference named security.ssl.enable_ocsp_stapling. Double-click it and change its value to false - this will degrade a security feature in Firefox, so please revisit it in a couple of days again after Microsoft has fixed their stuff and turn it back on again then.

Thank you very much Seburo
I have access to hot-mail now and I am most grateful for your support with easy to follow instructions.
Hi
No problem, glad I could help, but please remember to change this setting back in a couple of days so as to make sure that your computer is secure.
