I cannot open attachments in Hotmail on Firefox for the last couple of weeks. It works fine on Chrome but I don't want to change browsers...Any suggestions?

Any emails that I receive in hotmail, I can't open the attachments.

It always shows this message at the top of the email:

Windows Live Hotmail was not able to complete this request. Microsoft may contact you about any issues you report.

I tried opening the same attachment in the Chrome Browser in Hotmail and it opened just fine.

Do you have a solution to this problem?

Clear the cache and the cookies from sites that cause problems.

"Clear the Cache":

  • Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Offline Storage (Cache): "Clear Now"

"Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:

  • Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"

Start Firefox in Use Troubleshoot Mode in Firefox to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

Thank you for your help! I cleared the cache, tried to open an attachment and it worked!

Interesting though, I had cleared my cache etc. just before this started happening.

In any case, I can open attachments now!

Thanks again!
