The last two days I have a problem when I try to read my e-mails in Hotmail, using Firefox. I can log in, see my email, but I can't open nor read my e-mail. When I use Safari, Hotmail works fine. I use Firefox 4.0.1 for a while, this problem is since the last two days... HELP!

I too have this problem. I can log into my hotmail account, however no links at all work once logged in. Where is the support for this?

Same problem. Can log in to Hotmail but can't read or delete mail. But I'm using Firefox 12.0 Yahoo! edition 1.10 (although I have no idea how I ended up with the Yahoo! edition. Maybe that's why Hotmail won't work. With over 200 people reporting this problem (and I'll bet a whole lot more who aren't reporting it) I would expect Mozilla to DO something about it.

I had the same problem. All software up to date. Firefox 12.0. What fixed it for me was disabling my Foxit Reader plugin. I recently updated Foxit Reader and the plugin in Firefox shows it as "Foxit Reader Plugin for Mozilla 2.2.1.417".

Disabled it and now all is fine. Problem seems to be with Foxit...for me at least.

BINGO! Worked. How ever did you find this? Thank you.

This is an 11-month old post and is really out-of-date, and the original issue had nothing to do with FF 12 or Foxit Reader. The Hotmail issue has been discussed in the last week or so, please see this thread for more details:
