Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: General, defect)

User-Agent:       
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7b) Gecko/20040226 Firefox/0.8.0+

Can't login to Hotmail from http://www.hotmail.com

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to http://www.hotmail.com (redirects to
http://login.passport.net/uilogin.srf?id=2)
2. Try to login (by pressing Enter, or clicking the Sign in button)


Actual Results:  
No sign in. Javascript console says "parent.frames[1] has no properties, line 100"

Expected Results:  
Sign in to Hotmail.

Logging in at http://login.passport.net/ works fine. This ub is major because
many people use Hotmail and aren't intuitive enough to figure out other ways to
log in. This didn't happen in the 20040220 build.

That javascript error should have been line 110. Sorry.

I also had this problem at:
https://www.toshiba.tradeups.com/login/login.asp
I was able to login just fine with mozilla.

Try using a later build. I had this problem before, but the following build
worked for me (not sure about Windows):

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7b) Gecko/20040302 Firefox/0.8.0+

This bug became hit and miss the last few days. Now I tried a new build and it's
been working consistently. Don't know if Hotmail fixed it or Mozilla fixed it.

Either way --> WORKSFORME
