cant loginto hotmail/live using FF 3.6, I just get a blank page and in the adress bare I have the following - http://login.live.com/login.srf?wa=wsignin1.0&rpsnv=11&ct=1278328549&rver=6.0.5285.0&wp=MBI&wreply=http:%2F%2Fmail.live.com%2Fdefault.aspx%3Frru%3Dinbox&lc=1033&id=64855&mkt=en-us.

I have found a work around but even that throws up errors-

1. type the following address - http://login.live.com/ 2. input username and password 3. I get taken to my account suymmary page for 1-2 second then get the following url error - https://account.live.com/error.aspx?mkt=en-us&errcode=502

I can log in just fine using internet explorer, so obviously MS have changed something that's broken it in FF.

URL of affected sites

http://www.hotmail.com

I have found the fix for this problem -

I have noscript installed and on Saturday I blocked a what I thought was a suspect domain (as I routinely do) called " www.wlxrs.com ". Unblocking said domain fixed the issue.

But, thats not all... I found that the above domain is only available to the end user if you log in to hotmail with out SSL(standard security). If you then then select SSL (enhanced security) the wlxrs.com domain is no longer available. But also the wlxrs.com domain is only visable when logging in via the pretty version of the windows live landing page, see the attached screenshot.

What is the wlxrs.com domain and why is it used..?

Start Firefox in Use Troubleshoot Mode in Firefox to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes). See Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems and Troubleshoot issues with plugins like Flash or Java to fix common Firefox problems

There is another fix for this too. In Firefox settings uncheck the box in privacy tab that "clear history when firefox closes". This fix stops you having to relog in each time.
