I do not seem to be able to reproduce your problem, even though I copied your user-agent in my page request. I don't know how they work at live.com, but I can only assume that you have a cookie left or that your User-Agent triggers live.com to render the mobile version. You have "Minefield/4.0b2pre" and "ImageShackToolbar/5.2.4" in your User-Agent field, but I don't see a Firefox part like: "Firefox/3.6.6".

This is an error on the page, they do incorrect Useragent sniffing.
I get the same issue with Seamonkey.

Someone should point them to http://geckoisgecko.info/
