Microsoft Hotmail no longer working on Firefox.

For the past several days, I can no longer access my two hotmail.com email pages. I keep getting the message to "check back later." I tried using Edge, and it worked there. Then I tried using DuckDuckGo and Brave, and hotmail worked on both. So, this problem only exists when using FireFox which is the site I use by default.

Not true! I'm on it everyday with no issues. see screenshot Show your issue. Are you running any security software besides MS Defender?
