Hotmail Reverted To Classic With Firefox 3

Post by firefoxfan2 »

I just installed Firefox 3 and when accessing my msn.com email through the HotMail portal, I get a message saying that it has reverted to the classic version.

Does this have something to do with the fact that the eWebMail Plus add-on is not available for Firefox 3? Has anyone else been able to get the "full" interface when using HotMail? If so, how?

By contrast, when using Internet Explorer 7.0 I can still get to the full version of HotMail, so what settings do I need to change in Firefox 3, or what plugins do I need to install in order to have the same full effect in Firefox 3.

Me too. I'm reverting back to Firefox 2!
There's just too many issues with Firefox 3 at this Beta stage.

I doubt it's a bug, it's probably microsoft browser sniffing and reverting to another version because they don't have firefox 3 as a supported browser for the "Full" version.

I am experiencing problems similar to the users above - 'Hotmail' opens in the classic view after upgrading to Firefox 3.0 - the message I get is; "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." Clearing both does not remedy the situation. Any news/advice?

Same problem here. I can get the full version with the IE tab plug in but there are still problems when editing e-mails (cannot right click to bring up the formatting menu, for example). All worked well in FF 2. Sounds like a problem with hotmail, however.

I've opened a support ticket with MS to see what they have to say.

Thanks, if you could post the findings of the ticket, that would be kind.

I'm having the same problem.
Could it be that the Microsoft Hotmail has hobbled their competitions Firefox, or vise versa?
