My Hotmail login details only save in IE, but do not retain when using Firefox as broswer. There seems to be something in FAQ's, but can't resolve

When using IE, my Hotmail details, always save for next login (using the "keep me logged in" tick box).
Using Firefox to open Hotmail, my details are never retained and (using the "keep me logged in" tick box also), I have to put full details in each time, rather annoying....does Microsoft do this on purpose to retain IE users?
As mentioned above, there does seem to be something in the FAQ's, but even following this, i can't seem to get this to stop happening, so whilst wishing to use Firefox more often, for Hotmail access this is a bit of a pain!!!

I'm not sure whether such Hotmail features work with Firefox.

  • Unable to read e-mails off of Hotmail when using Firefox, but I can with Internet Explorer. Hotmail seems to be the only one I have trouble with.

  • When creating a comment summary, I want to end up with a pdf of comments only. In addition, I do not want author, date, time, or page number to show in my comments summary. How can I do this?

    When creating a comment summary, I want to end up with a pdf of comments only. In addition, I do not want author, date, time, or page number to show in my comments summary. How can I do this? I do a lot of reading, and when I summarize my comments, I like to save these comments in a larger document I compile over time. I typically create a comment summary, export it to a text editor and find myself having to delete author, date, time, page number, and anything else that is not the raw and net comment. It would save me some good time if someone showed me how to do this. The reason I do not want any additional information is because it simply adds stuff I do not need in my compilation of summaries for large amounts of papers over time.

    What you're describing can't be achieved using the built-in comments summary function of Acrobat, but it can certainly be done if a custom-made script it used to generate the summary because then you're in full control of what's included in it and what's not.

  • I am unable to open any emails or any folders (aside from my inbox) in Hotmail when using Firefox. What do I do?

    Starting about mid-day yesterday, when I sign into Hotmail using Firefox, I can get to my inbox but I can't open any emails or go to any other folders. This is only when using Firefox - Internet Explorer works perfectly fine. My Firefox updated itself a couple of days ago and was working fine until yesterday at about 4:30 - 5:00.

  • E-mail Reply function no longer works -- only when using Firefox. Gives blank compose screen. Have tried settings changes. Have un and re installed firefox.

    Problem does not occur when using a different browser.

    Is it Yahoo! mail?? Many users have discovered all kind of problems and glitches with Yahoo! mail in Firefox when using an old bookmark saved before Yahoo!'s recent server changes.
    I suggest clearing your Yahoo cookies and entering through the main page to get a better address for your current mail server.
    To remove your Yahoo cookies -- save any pending work first -- call up the Cookies dialog while viewing any page on yahoo.com (or your Yahoo site). You can use either:
    * right-click the page > View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
    * Tools menu > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
    In the dialog that opens, you can remove the site's cookies individually.
    Then go to one of these Yahoo addresses and click on login or mail from there:
    * Yahoo home page: https://www.yahoo.com/
    * My Yahoo page: https://my.yahoo.com/
    * General mail redirect: https://mail.yahoo.com/
    * AT&T users: http://att.yahoo.com/
    * Other country sites (not on .com): the main Yahoo page for your country
    Does that help?

  • I've noticed that in the new version of Firefox that you cannot save multiple tabs at one time like the previous Firefox 3.6.or so and I wanted to know if I can find that feature again?

    I've noticed that in the new version of Firefox that you cannot save multiple tabs at one time like the previous Firefox 3.6.or so and I wanted to know if I can find that feature again?
    In the previous versions of Firefox when you went to you Bookmarks menu it gave you the options to either Bookmark This Page 'command' + 'D', Subscribe to this Page, Bookmark All Tabs 'up-arrow-key' + 'command' + 'D', and Organize Bookmarks 'up-arrow-key' + 'command' + 'B' however in the newest version of Firefox there is no Bookmark All Tabs so you can bookmark all the tabs that you have up in one window at a time. So I need to know if it is possible that the feature is now in a different place, is gone altogether, or if you can get that feature another way?
    For me personally and my work I go through hundreds of web pages a day and save around half of those so it is imperative that I be able to bookmark more then one tab at a time because I can't be bothered to bookmark every single page separately and then go through hundreds of tabs in my Unsorted bookmarks in order to sort those bookmarks. It is simple inconvenient to sort every bookmark individually that is why the previous version of Firefox with the Bookmark All Tabs button was superior in its convenience.

    Right click any tab and choose "Bookmark All Tabs".

  • I can't see the body of emails in hotmail when using firefox 37.0.1 I can see them in IE and firefox mobile. Help please

    I resend some emails regularly with only slight changes to the email so I usually do a "reply all" or "forward" . Recently I cannot see the text in the body of the emails using FireFox, however I can see the complete email when using FireFox mobile or Internet Explorer. Any ideas what is causing the problem and how to fix it? I have tried to copy and paste the text into a new email but that didn't work.
    I am using Windows 7 SP1 Home Premium and FireFox 37.0.1
    Any help would be appreciated.

  • On my new computer, I can no longer open attachmnets in Hotmail when using Firefox. The attachments will open with other browsers. It is quite frustrating. Any help out there would be surely appreciated. Cheers

    Hotmail won't open attachments when using Firefox. I'm not sure if this relates to cookies, add ons (I recently addded Ad-blocker and Do not track), or some other type of security setting. I have tried some proposed solutions on the we to no avail. Using Windows 7

    Tyler,
    Thanks for your suggestion. My problem occurs when trying to open any type of file (at least .doc and .pdf, as far as I know). As I mentioned, when I log into hotmail from another browser, I am then able to open my attachments. I am hoping to figure out how to tinker with firefox so I no longer have this issue. I am not sure what is causing this block, but I know it has to do with Firefox (or settings relating to) or related add ons.

  • PS CS6: Images sometimes not saved when using Close All and instructed to save

    I thought I had made a crazy mistake when this happened earlier today, but it just did it again and I was paying close attention. 
    I often open multiple images to make several changes, then use Close All and when it prompts "Do you want to save changes to ... before closing?" I check off the box to "Apply to all" and say Yes.   This saves lots of time when adjusting several multi-hundred MB images.  Imagine my surprise today when it closed an image without saving!  I had to repeat about 30 minutes of work as a result. 
    I thought I had somehow accidentally clicked "No" to saving, so I made sure to pay close attention the next few times I used Close All to save work.  It worked fine until a moment ago when it did it again.
    Has anyone seen something like this?  I can't find anything in searching.  In all my time using this feature in PS I never once had a problem before.

    Thanks for the reply.
    I just upgraded to CS6 from CS5 a few days ago, and this is my first week in heavy usage. 
    I do have Save in Background turned on.  I am saving locally.  I also have auto recovery saves turned on, at 5 minute intervals (CS6 has crashed a few times on me)
    Yesterday I used Close All with Save maybe 10 times, and it exhibited this behavior 2 of those times. 
    In the two cases, I had 3 PSDs open, each a little over 400 mb in size.  It seemed to save two of the images, but left one unsaved.  I noticed that instead of spending several seconds saving, it would quickly just close that image - as though it believed no changes had been made.  The changes that had been made to the image were routine - add some adjustment layers, some masks etc.
    I have tried to reproduce it by opening the same images, making similar changes and then repeating Close All with Save, but so far no (bad) luck.  Idle speculation - could it have something to do with the frequent interval of autorecovery saves that I do? Some kind of conflict?  Or is it something to do with background saves?  Definitely never saw this in previous versions of PS.
    As a workaround, I have made a simple action that saves an image and apply it in batch.  I just can't risk losing work.
