Firefox 12 will now not allow Hotmail to work.

Having been using Firefox for a few years now and never had problems with accessing Hotmail. Fairly recently upgraded to Firefox 12 and initially it worked fine with Hotmail.
In the last few days Hotmail has become unuseable. I can log-in as normal, but when faced with the normal view of my Inbox, nothing is useable. I cannot open visible mails when they are clicked on, nor can I access other mail folders, including custom ones. In effect, the page is 'frozen' - page buttons ''appear'' to respond when you click on them, but the view remains the same, and nothing can be accessed. If I attempt to compose a new mail only the 'To:' and 'Subject:' fields will accept inputs, the message input area will not.
I have disabled all add-ons, but it changes nothing. I have also attempted to refresh ZoneAlarm's settings for Firefox, and still no change.
I have accessed Hotmail using IE8 (I despise IE but I have to have it on the laptop to get Windows updates - MS will not allow updating using Firefox) which is installed on the same laptop ....... and my Hotmail then all works normally!!!!!! The problem must lie with Firefox 12 ....... surely?

Oh crikey! Just saw your reply moments ago - had forgotten about the plug-ins (as opposed to add-ons ...). I have just disabled ALL 21 of the plug-ins and ...... Hotmail functions again.
Which one is it LIKELY to be or do I have to do 21 individual enables to find out, lol? Has anyone else had this problem?
But thanks for your idea! :-)
Later EDIT: Turns out it is Foxit Reader Plugin for Mozilla 2.2.1.417 causing the problem. How odd! Foxit Reader is a PDF plugin!?!?!?! Why should that stop Hotmail working? Jeez ..........

  • My Time Capsule expired and no longer works. My printer (a HP) will now not work as it still wishes to connect through the Time Capsule. It will not allow itself be recognised through a USB connection to my Mac. Anyone got any ideas?

    My Time Capsule expired and no longer works. My printer (a HP) will now not work as it still wishes to connect through the Time Capsule. It will not allow itself be recognised through a USB connection to my Mac. Anyone got any ideas?

    You will need to install the printer on your Mac
    Open System Preferences (gear icon) on the dock
    Open Print & Fax
    Click the + (plus) button at the bottom of the printer list
    Wait for your printer to appear in the next box, then click it to highlight it
    Click Add at the lower right
    Be sure to select the correct printer when you try to print as you will see your printer listed twice. Good idea to make the printer now installed on your Mac the default printer so you do not have to choose which printer to use each time you want to print.
    You can also go into Print & Fax, select the printer associated with the Time Capsule and click the - (minus) button if you want to delete that location.

  • When I recently updated FireFox, the DownloadHelper add-on was lost, and will now not download, though I have tried about 5 times??

    When I recently updated to the newer version of FireFox, (version 3.6.13) the DownloadHelper add-on was lost, and it will now not re-install, though I have tried about 5 times?? When I clicked the icon to download the add-on the download progress bar indicated that the download was underway however, when it had completed, the add-on appeared not to have downloaded - including no icon - not even if I search for one. When I tried to download the same add-on again, the download window indicated the download in a faded color and it seemed to be indicating that I already had the add-on. Try as I might, I can't get it to work. DownloadHelper always worked with no trouble on the previous version of FireFox. Are you able to help? Many thanks for this service!

    Delete the files extensions.* (extensions.rdf, extensions.cache, extensions.ini, extensions.sqlite) and compatibility.ini in the Firefox [[Profiles|profile folder]] to reset the extensions registry. New files will be created when required.
    See "Corrupt extension files": http://kb.mozillazine.org/Unable_to_install_themes_or_extensions
    If you see disabled, not compatible, extensions in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions" then click the "Find Updates" button (Firefox 4: click the Tools button at the left side of the Search Bar) to do a compatibility check.
    You can also try "Reset all user preferences to Firefox defaults" on the [[Safe mode]] start window.

  • What specific technology are older macs bluetooth missing that will not allow handoff to work?

    What specific technology are older macs bluetooth (that is built in) missing that will not allow handoff to work? Will apple allow people to buy third party bluetooth 4.0 to allow it to work?

    Well, with a PPC Mac you can upgrade as far as Firefox 3.6.19 if you upgrade from Tiger OSX 10.3.9 to Leopard OSX 10.5, but Firefox doesn't support PPC architecture in the latest Firefox 4, 5, and 6.0 versions.
    For older Macs that aren't supported in Firefox 4.0 & 5.0, try TenFourFox for PowerPC's running Mac 10.4.11 & 10.5.8 . <br />
    http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox/
    But, you still need to carefully investigate if your hardware specs are sufficient for either Firefox 3.6.19 or for 10-4Fox.

  • Firefox 5 does not allow me to use McAfee site advisor. How can I download previous version?

    McAfee site advisor is important to me and the new Firefox 5 does not allow it's use. Can you please let me know if I can use previous version of Firefox and how can I get download.
    Perhaps you could e-mail me when problem has been resolved and I can then return to using Firefox which is my preferred browser. In the interim I shall use Internet Explorer which permits site advisor Thank-you

    The McAfee extension was blacklisted due to be a #2 top crasher and McAfee has been working on fixing their toolbar for a month now and it may be ready in 2-4 weeks.

  • I have a new Mac Mini and all my software is up to date. My video keeps acting up, flashing and not allowing me to work. This was happening with my old machine as well. Is this a problem with my monitor or do I have a bug somewhere in  my system?

    I have a new Mini and updated software. My monitor will keep flashing back and forth, shrinking the display and not allowing me to work. Sometimes clicking the mouse helps, sometimes clicking into the screen but it freezes up and won't allow me to work. Is this a monitor problem or is there some bug in my system.

    Try just holding down on the power and home buttons to restart it. Thomas R. doesnt know what he was talking about. The tool is not made for jailbraeking and is not related to jailbreaking. If you want to get the link again, let me know, as I reapir iPhones, have been using it for years, nad it does NOT void your warranty. It simply reboots your device.
    My apologies for all of the new people on this site who are novices to anything beyond iTunes or the device itself. Hopefuly your problem is solved.

    When trying to customize-organise the Firefox 17 does not allow the bookmarks toolbar to be placed above the tabs toolbar is there a solution other than reverting to a previous version of FF?

    # Type ''about:config'' in the address bar and press Enter.
    # Press the big button to bypass the warning.
    # In the search box, paste ''browser.tabs.onTop''
    # In the search results, double-click ''browser.tabs.onTop'' to set its value to '''false'''.
    Note: If you're using either Windows 7 or Vista with an Aero Windows theme, performing the above will make a large part of the Firefox window glassy. If you find this unpleasant, the simplest thing to do is to install a persona.

  • Is anyone else having issues if they purchased a Season and it is NOW not allowing downloads without charging again

    is anyone else having issues if they purchased a Season and it is NOW not allowing downloads without charging again
    I get my email to download then ... it won't.   I go to the store and its showing charges again... rather than PURCHASED

    Not just you. I too am having this issue including with a movie I just purchased.
    If you follow mario49's advice they will eventually help you by posting the purchases to your account again (not actually fixing the current issue) but be VERY specific with them and be prepared to explain your issue about 4 times (I have taken to just copy and pasting) before they actually read what you told them and help out.
    e-mail 1: Response was to explain the difference between a season pass and individual orders (even though I attached the season pass order number to the issue message).
    e-mail 2: Reponse explained how to redownload episodes again (even though I had clearly stated it was a latest episode on a season pass).
    e-mail 3: I may have yelled a little bit here.
    e-mail 4: This one was a complaint about the pre-order that was charged but also now giving me the "you haven't paid for this" message. I attached the earlier complaint # to this one and got they same service person. This time he re-posted every episode from the above season pass to my account and my movie so I got the new episode I was looking for and about 5 others I was not.
    Now I just have to go through all of this for my other 11 season passes that won't download either.
    Good Luck.

    PS is it just me or does everyone get the impression Apple has now farmed out thier customer service to Mircosoft?
