When trying to use MSN Hotmail, Webmail version I receive this message:

You are temporarily on the classic version of Windows Live Hotmail due to an error encountered during login. Before trying again, please clear your cache and cookies.

This is a new problem with FireFox Beta 3, this version and the previous version. Did not have, nor do I have this problem with the previous version of FireFox. I can use the Classic version, but not this beta version.

Thank you,

This is due to site-specific methods of blocking this version of Firefox (i.e. through browser-sniffing etc.), I'd imagine that microsoft will fix it when the release comes out.

Nothing firefox can do about that.
