User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.0.10) Gecko/2009042316 Firefox/3.0.10 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.0.10) Gecko/2009042316 Firefox/3.0.10 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)

Today after working fine in Firefox in the am in the afternoon my (Hotmail)
mail.live.com account began to display only a blank page in Firefox 3.0.10. I
found the same result in Opera 9.64. Both the Google and Internet Explorer
browsers display normally and using IE Tab it displays in Firefox qua IE.
Webmail Notifier does log into my Hotmail account and reports new e mails, but
the inbox stays blank until I switch out of Firefox into IE.
http://next.my.msn.com/ opens normally and reports any new Hotmail emails, but
the link to the inbox results in a blank page.Thunderbird log in and download
using Webmail-Hotmail 1.2.22 is not affected and behaves as before.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.access hotmail account (or just hotmail entry portal ?) with Firefox 3.0.10
2.use IE tab or IE to access hotmail account

Actual Results:  
1.blank page
2.usual display

Expected Results:  
1. Firefox opens hotmail
2. IE opens hotmail

This is a new instance of hotmail declining to support firefox, It is not a webmail problem--the same thing happens when the url is typed into the location window.
