When signing out of email at www.hotmail.com, I get the message “Windows Live Sign-out isn’t complete…Finish signing out” instead of the "signout successful" screen. The message suggests deleting all cookies, which I did. Then I deleted firefox 5 and reinstalled firefox 4.0.1. Same error occurs with firefox 4.0.1. The error does not occur when I use MS internet explorer to access hotmail.

larrywallis,

This has nothing to do with the Firefox Browser, it is just how there server logs your computer out of it. I would say it's a check to be sure that you log out completely. I have got this message before as well. All you do is click Finish Signing out.

Thanks.

It may have been that "Finish signing out" was previously a link, but in this case, it is not a link, and is not clickable. Immediately underneath is a hint: "Try clearing all of your browser cookies, and then close all browser windows." Underneath that is a link that says "how?", which presumably is help on how to delete all cookies. The problem started with Firefox 5, and persists through a reversion to Firefox 4.0.1. An additional symptom is that my Windows Live ID (login name) at the login screen is no longer prepopulated. And note: the problem does not occur with MS Internet Explorer.

The problem is solved; it was inadvertently caused by me . In an attempt to prevent pop-ups, I had (erroneously) configured the browser to prevent loading images automatically. Starting at Menu Bar | Tools | Options | Content | Load Images Automatically | Exceptions |, I had loaded "msn.com" into the exceptions list with an attribute of "block". The problem is cured by removing "msn.com" from the exceptions list. The signout process will now go to completion. Also noticed that the login-id is once again prepopulated correctly at the next login to hotmail.

Fix for Sign-Out Hotmail

= Completely

Vista-Ultimate32-SP2 (x86) [U.S.Version]

No - MSN messenger √

Firefox 11.0 [Windows] √


The Fix: = Firefox must block “All” pop-ups from plug-ins / Flash / images..ie ..!!!!!

Important…!!

Updated Search Engine to “ixquick”.

• Ixquick…..!!!!... • As of January 28, 2009, Ixquick no longer records users' IP addresses at all. “_https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ixquick_” . • Believe me when I say once you have gotten ixquick “ set properly” you will kick yourself for putting up with Micro$oft’s ..&&.. Google’s piracy and privacy abuse…!!!

Important…Note***“Completely”…!!!... Delete and removed all references and options of Google/Bing Search engines… ”they are the most radical and intrusive search Plug-ins and softwares to Firefox users and web surfing privacy” …!!!!!!

Reason:..Why..?

When you log-in to hotmail the following harmful cookies (Beacon cookies / Candy cookies), are Automatically created:::

bing.com google.com hmit.ww.msn.com live.com login.live.com match.com msn.com secure.shared.live.com www.bing.com

…. If you decide not to follow this Important…Note***… advice and do not care about exposing your Browsing habits and privacy…User Preference…

This fix was done under the Î above Î mention conditions of removing search engines -plug-ins….

With-out the above conditions….?...

This fix is untested and may or may not work to resolve the “sign-out” issue of hotmail.com…?

Step :: 1. Silverlight Plug-In [version; 3.0.50106.0] =Install

• * This is the best M$_compatible version for Firefox {All} • **Remember to “Prevent” Window’s update {Silverlight}..!! • *** After Installing > In Firefox/goto ..>>... Addons..>>Plugins/ Silverlight..>>.. =Disable • Current version is : Silverlight 5 (5.0.61118.0)

Step:::: 2. Open Firefox / Install FlashKiller [1.3]

• This is the easiest “least radical and least intrusive” flash blocker available for Firefox

Step:::: 3. Set Pref (about:config): privacy.popups.disable_from_plugins = 3

This pref {Integer} can actually take four values: • {Integer} 0: Allow ”all” popups from plugins.

• {Integer} 1: Allow popups, “but limit” them to dom.popup_maximum.

 You Must type in: dom.p = dom.popup_maximum

 * Default 20 will sign-out to MSN.com (homepage)  ** Change to 1 will sign-out = You have successfully signed out of Hotmail (Sign-out page)….  This is a “ user” preference…

o {Integer} 2: Block popups from plugins. o {Integer} 3: Block popups from plugins, even on whitelisted sites

Step ::: 4. Set Pref. (about:config): image.animation_mode [string] = none [Default_Normal]

Resart Firefox

Step ::: 5. In Firefox. . Goto ..>>..options..>>Content {Tab}…>>> Enable JavaScript (√/check).. Click /Advance (button) …>>..uncheck All… >>>.. click OK…

Step  ::: 6. Restart Firefox

Step  ::: 7. Manually Type: hotmail.com {Address bar}

 Uncheck (Clear)…. “Keep me signed in” [box].

 Bookmark this Link: This is a “ user” preference…

Step  :::: 8. Log-In (do your thing)

• Note .. Tab activity will look very busy and intermittent for a few seconds = normal

Step  ::: 9. Sign-out = Complete …”..???..”

• Note: Sign out will redirect you to MSN.com

• Confirm sign out complete and successful… i. Close tab (MSN.com) ii. Do not close Firefox iii. Launch hotmail.com (Bookmark or address bar) again. iv. If log in windows appears: and ask for:: address and password = This is Confirmation that log out procedure was successful..…..!!!

Important: Again://// These harmful cookies (Beacon cookies / Candy cookies), are still Automatically created:::

bing.com google.com hmit.ww.msn.com live.com login.live.com match.com msn.com secure.shared.live.com www.bing.com


These cookies will “still” be automatically created,,,, “but” ,,, “NOW” have no affect on Firefox browser..!!

…. “Do Not”…. Do not …add these cookies to your exceptions list..

This is no longer a necessary procedure…..!!!!!....


And these cookies can be cleaned out = “still” be automatically created and does not have any affect to your daily / log-in and sign-out of hotmail…!!!!


Use Ccleaner for “maintenance” of Firefox & M$ windows.. and..to remove OS junk and to eliminate these harmful cookies…

Or clear your firefox history (periodically)…

If Neceessary..>>>

Step ::: 10. Disable web site ad banners…:

Use Firefox Add-on / Stylish 1.2.6

or manually create or /edit userstyle (.css) file in “your” Profile Folder: ..>>>.. Create with Stylish (add-on) = Best option for “ all “ userstyle configurations..!!!

(found by ixquick search and _ created_ with Stylish ):

@namespace url(http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul); /* Block Flash, using a placeholder you can click to unblock a desired Flash animation. */ /* Doesn't work for embed tags, which are less common than object tags - bug 190970 */ object[classid$=":D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"], object[codebase*="swflash.cab"] { -moz-binding: url("http://www.cs.hmc.edu/~jruderma/flash.xml#obj"); }
