Firefox unable to load Windows Live login prompts that IE can
When connecting to certain Microsoft web pages (for instance, their Microsoft Connect feedback portal) that require you to log into Windows Live, the login prompt fails to load correctly.

You can sign in or sign up at other sites on the Windows Live Network, or try again later at this site.
You may need to already be signed into live in firefox, for instance I was signed into hotmail, in order for this to happen. This same login works fine in IE of course, which I'm sure is what Microsoft cares about.
