User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.8.0.2) Gecko/20060308 Firefox/1.5.0.2

Never had a problem getting into Hotmail until last week.  I have allowed following scripts: hotmail.com, passport.net, login.com, https://loginnet.passport.com, etc., but nothing seems to work and allow me access to Hotmail. Also made sure that Javascript is enabled and updated it just in case. I have restored all defaults in IE. Yet still no luck. What is going on? I can only access my Hotmail using IE, and I would much prefer to continue using Mozilla.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open browser
2.Type www.hotmail.com
3.

Actual Results:  
I get message: "JavaScript required to sign in"

Expected Results:  
Given me the sign in screen and then opened my e-mail account.
