Firefox 58 installed updates today. When I open an email and want to click to "Read more" (or any click in an email) the screen goes back to my Inbox. Also can no longer scroll with mouse without using right hand bar.

Hmm, that's strange.

For the email problem, does it seem like the same issue as in this thread: FF 57 - now when I click in some emails (in Hotmail) it looks like it might go to new page but instead pops me back to inbox email list.

For the problem with the mouse scroll wheel, is this on one or two specific sites or does it affect all pages?

Hi Tulip8597, I was looking into this more in another thread today and wanted to share my comments with you:

I think the reason I couldn't replicate this problem before is that I use the Reading pane on the right side. This problem only seems to occur if you hide the reading pane, so when you click a message it display "in front of" the Inbox.

In that case, the links in some areas of the message stop behaving normally. As you mentioned, the "mouse cursor" doesn't have the "pointer" appearance and when you click the message disappears and the Inbox (or other folder) reappears.

Since I only have a few messages in the Inbox, I was able to determine that this problem occurs when the link is in front of text in the Inbox, such as the Sender name or Subject line. I can't explain why that happens.

Here are two partial screenshots showing how it affected a sample message.




When I switch to the "beta" Outlook design, I can't replicate this problem.

Two thoughts:

(1) If you have a wide display, you could try using the Reading pane on the right. However, if your display is not wide enough, there will be an inconvenient amount of scrolling.

(2) You could try sliding the "Try the beta" switch that appears above the Inbox and see whether that works better for you.

Hi there

I used to Beta test software back in the late 90s. I have the problem within Outlook and they are working on the issue as well.

I found that if I clicked at any time with the ARROW anywhere with an email, I was kicked out to the list of emails. This primarily occurred while in the Junk Mail folder.

I also found that if I put the ARROW on a URL or button, etc. and slide the ARROW in either direction on the URL or Link, the HAND appears and the URL or Link works. Very strange!

Hi John, since Friday, Mozilla developed a fix for this, but it probably won't be released for 1-3 weeks. Possibly a temporary block will be issued which would make the following settings change automatically. You can do it now:

(A) In a new tab, type or paste about:config in the address bar and press Enter/Return. Click the button promising to be careful or accepting the risk.

(B) In the search box above the list, type or paste stylo and pause while the list is filtered

(C) Double-click the layout.css.stylo-blocklist.enabled preference to switch the value from false to true

(D) Double-click the layout.css.stylo-blocklist.blocked_domains preference and set the value to live.com and click OK. (In the unlikely event that you already had one or more sites listed add ,live.com to the list.)

Then exit/quit Firefox and start it up again to make the change effective.

That rolls back all of the pages on live.com (including outlook.live.com) to an older layout engine for the time being.
