(Firefox :: General, defect)

Unable to access MSN's hotmail using Firefox. This issue started today, December
21, 2004. Problem seems to be with all Mozilla browsers. Access issue not a
problem with using Internet Explorer.

Works for me.

They quite often seem to have temporary authentication troubles where either
deleting all Hotmail/Passport cookies or just waiting clears it up, while IE
must follow a different path (or doesn't happen to have the same cookie).

For future reference, even though the description of Blocker is a little
confusing, what it really means is "something's so broken that developers
working on other parts of the code can't tell whether their stuff works or not"
rather than "if this doesn't work I personally won't be willing or able to use it."

Works for me as well.

PFerrin can you explain WHAT exactly goes wrong?
Do you get warning messages or feedback from Hotmail.com

Have you tried with a new profile?
