For those who were bummed out (including me) that the "full version" of Hotmail didn’t work with Firefox 3, it appears that it’s now a-okay and working great. I logged in this morning and noticed no warning messages or anything like that.
In addition, the operation is smooth. Very nice. The operation of full-version Hotmail in FF3 is way faster than it is in IE 7.
If you use Hotmail and Firefox but don’t like the Windows Live Mail client for whatever reason, full-version web-based Hotmail will suit you nicely.
It still doesn’t work for me.
I tried FF3 on my MacBook and Vista desktop and I still got the ‘classic’ version of Live Mail (mail.live.com). I cleared the cookies and browser history too.
Hmm, very odd. I’m using Windows XP but that shouldn’t make a difference. I tested with regular Hotmail and my Hotmail Plus. All works in FF3.

When deleting stuff in FF3 via Tools / Clear Private Data, check off Cache, Cookies, Offline Website Data and Authenticated Sessions. This might work for you (not sure, just a guess).
Thanks Rich, that worked!
That worked for me as well
For me neither, even I clean up my cache, history an everything else.
I first Time I believe would work cause I received a new message telling me that I need to upgrade my browser, but after the clean up is the same.
I don’t know what error message you were getting but I’ve never had one come up in FF3 or the beta version of v3.0…?
I am though having great difficulty moving emails to folders though. I have many folders for various people/sites etc and when using the scroll bar to scroll to the bottom of the list upon clicking the ‘move’ button, the window disappears for no reason.
Anyone having this happen?
I probably should note that this only started happening in the last day or so when Hotmail started working properly for everyone else…
I have been having trouble with my installation of IE7 namely that it keeps asking me to customize every time I open it. I have tried reinstalling it quite a few times. The latest thing now is that I can’t get into hotmail and that is using both IE7 and FF3. I keep getting a “you need to upgrade your browser message” when both browsers are upgraded. I actually get the sign in page and am allowed to sign in but then the the next page is that upgrade message. Can anyone help?!!! I haven’t been able to access my emails for the last few days!! Oh and I just installed the Live Mail program but when I open it, it says my Inbox is not available right now and I should access from the web which I can’t! Help!!!
Update to my last post. I am now getting my email through Live Mail but I really would like to sort out the web version and how to get my IE7 install to behave! Thanks
