hi

that what i did .but when i enter the email and the password i got that alert message.
Try cleaning up your cache and everything else. I use Mozilla v1.6 (which is supposedly somewhat similar to Firefox) with WinXP Pro and I've never had any problems using hotmail (either from www.hotmail.com or from MSN Messenger).
hi andersonvom
I try all that i stil i cant check it and get that alert .

coolcamel, firefox and msn have some issues.....especially with the the hotmail portion.
I can't use firefox to get into hotmail either, but I have no problem getting to it through msn messenger (which brings up IE6)
Excite is anouther one that I have problems getting to, but that is because excite wants to place cookies which I have locked out....in both firefox and IE6. So, I just don't use excite anymore.
I can use firefox to go into msn groups, but if I wish to post multiple pichures, or use msn advanced posting features, then I have to use a msn browser.
I use Firefox but never have these problems. What level is your cookie blocking at?
hi moxnix

============
hi AngelicKnight

coolcamel,
Strange...
I use FireFox 0.8, and just now checked a hotmail account (through www.hotmail.com) with no problems. I also check my Yahoo! mail daily, with no probs. You said you got an alert message - what's the alert? My cookies are enabled, but for the current session only... and I allow 50000kb for the cache. Try these settings, and let us know...
<edit>Sorry - just caught the error message in your first post... By the way, I have the saved form information and saved passwords options turned off... </edit>
Hope that helps...

Are you allowing Hotmail's various cookies then? If you block any of those, you won't gain access to your account.
Never had a problem with Firefox, perhaps yours isnt configured correctly? Try reinstalling it while under root, that could be a potential problem (Installing it as user). If that isnt a problem, then run it with default configuration. If it doesnt work with the default config, then the problem could be more complex than we had previously hoped.
>>wiskic10_4... i try all that but i stil get message.
>>AngelicKnight... yes i allowe them all .but still the same.
>> redhawk14506 ... i try to put it back to old configration butt still the same.
any more help .

Alright, I'm stumped...??? Did you try to reinstall like someone suggested earlier? Perhaps there's an issue with the user's account under which it was installed (surely not, I have Firefox installed on several of the computers at my university at the user level, and all access mail sites just fine)... very mysterious... perhaps you could install the regular old Mozilla browser and see if you have the same problem... oh, and BTW, what kind of error message do you get when attempting to access Yahoo!? Perhaps you could list all of your settings from the Tools>\Options menu for the rest of us to compare and contrast with...

well, any more help.
i think i will go to old Mozilla browser to keep my promise:D.
coolcamel.
I would suggest you do as was suggested above.
1) go to start > control panel > add/remove programs -- and uninstall firefox.
2) download a new and uncorrupted copy of firefox from the Mozilla web page
3) install the new downloaded copy of firefox
4) leave at default settings
5) try to access hotmail and yahoo again
6) report back to us the results
There, I made it a step by step process. IF YOU FOLLOW IT EXACTLY THEN WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO PIN POINT WHERE IT IS BREAKING DOWN, IF THE PROBLEM IS NOT FIXED BY THE REINSTALLATION.
By substituting your own methodes, and skipping portions just makes it more of a guessing game on our parts. It alsowastes your time and ours, especially if we assume that you are following all the steps.

>1- i install it from a cd.on my computer at hom running winxppro
>2- yes, default settings.
>3- i tried .but prob remain.with hotmail and yahoo.

i also tried on win2k.
i download it from the internet
i install it .
i leave it on the default settings
and yes still the same for yahoo and hotmail.
==========
If all other options have failed, download a program that lets you spoof your user agent (just search mozilla user agent or whatever on google) and set it to IE 6.0. I'm not sure if MS is still allowed to make sure only IE can use their websites or not...
