Pidgin opening Hotmail in Firefox?

Hi,
I am confused about setting up Pidgin to allow Hotmail email box to open in Firefox.... do I need to edit prefs?
Help! :-)
MrG

Opening Hotmail in Firefox closes Firefox and opens IE

Today when I tried to open Hotmail from Firefox 12, Firefox closed and IE opened up. I've tried several times and the same thing happens. I noticed my homepage had changed to Ask.com as well - not sure if this is coincidence or related.

Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See "Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile":
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile
If the new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

No such problem when I go through Internet Explorer.

hello, there are reports that the foxit pdf plugin is causing this issue. you might want to disable this plugin in firefox > addons > plugin until foxit offers a fix/update for its plugin.

In firefox I can open hotmail, but not open the individual emails. It works in explorer and chrome.

It previously worked fine in earlier versions of firefox. There's a message at the bottom of the hotmail window. I reloaded both the 32 bit and 64 bit versions,
Thanks,
Julius

I open firefox, then hotmail, put my adress, and then there's this page:
A password isn't enough ...
I click on the "SAVE"-button", it does not work.

Firefox can't open hotmail from Linux ubuntu, but from windows it can

Today nov 9, trying to access hotmail using firefox from linux ubuntu is not working, it opens the login.live.com, but after entering credentials it just hangs and later it says: Connection reset by remote server.
3 days ago i just could logged in perfectly, i've spent the whole day trying and testing.
I've tried to login from a windows machine and it works perfectly, so whats the problem with firefox for linux???. PLZ HELP !!!!!!!!

When you load a video on YouTube, Firefox starts the Flash plugin with YouTube's SWF player. The SWF player imports and plays the actual MP4 or FLV media. Firefox doesn't associate Flash with these formats directly.
Can you use a stand-alone player, such as QuickTime or VLC to play the downloaded file outside of the browser?
If you need to play it in the browser, perhaps someone has posted instructions on how to do it. Because of security restrictions, you probably would need to save a web page file (.html) and a SWF player into the same folder as the media in order to get everything to work together.

Firefox closes down completely ONLY when I open Hotmail on my Mac

For some reason whenever I open Hotmail and either click on a message, attempt to write a new message, or click on reply, the entire web window closes. I have tried to delete Silverlight AND all my Firefox stuff and upload it, but it still does it. I am now having to use Safari to access Hotmail account

I suggest you post on the Microsoft Mac forums since it's their software you're having issues with.

How do I open hotmail messages, delete, compose, etc. ? It has stopped working since May 31st.

On May 31st , 2010 my hotmail stopped working properly with Firefox. After logging in to my account, I see that I have new messages, but cannot read them, or read the old messages. I cannot delete, compose, or do anything with my messages. I can access hotmail through explorer but would rather continue to use firefox. What can I do to fix it? I have tried downloading the newest version of firefox but that didn't help. My hotmail address is [email protected]
== URL of affected sites ==
http://www.hotmail.com

I have a problem similar to [email protected], except that I use AT&T webmail instead of Hotmail, using Firefox 3.6.9 and running WinXP SP3. It started just a couple of days ago. The email header shows up, but I cannot read the content of the email, either in the reading pane or by double-clicking the email to open the full window for email. I can read my email using IE7 (opens very slowly) or Google Chrome.

Safari Crashes When Opening Hotmail

Hi everyone, I picked up an iPad today but whenever I open hotmail in Safari it crashes if I try to forward or reply to the email. The whole screen freezes. If I return back home and then back to Safari it is still frozen. I have done a search on the net but can't find anyone having similar problems. I guess I should just return it?
I have done 2 restores of orig settings btw.
Cheers

you are not the only one to suffer this problem. Hotmail.com has been a thorn in my side for a long time. I use voiceover (screen reader for the blind) and every time, no matter if it be on my iPhone or mac desktop machine, Safari (and the development version WebKit) always crash upon trying to interact with any of the folders (inbox, junk, etc.). I cannot even get into the account settings page on that site without Safari either crashing out or simply freezing up. As far as I know, this is a problem with the microsoft specific code used in javascript on that site. unfortunately, some other sites also use some of this same code, and the results are similar.
Also, I do not have access to a windows machine, or I would simply use NVDA with it and get around this problem and even firefox on VINUX has problems on there when I use ORCA (screen reader for Linux). so, from all that I can determine, it is Microsoft that has the problem. unfortunately, this makes life more than a little inconvenient for us blind users of mac machines and other Apple hardware/software.
unfortunately, firefox and google chrome aren't very accessible under OS X with voiceover. I have also tried to change the user-agent string in an attempt to fool hotmail, but without success. lastly, hotmail doesn't seem to have a mobile version of the website that will work for me either. In fact, there appears to be NO mobile version of their website. about the only thing I can do is save up a few hundred dollars and get a cheap netbook (that takes time, though, and I don't have a lot of that).
anyone else have any other suggestions on how to work around this?

How do I save and import my bookmarks from another hard drive? When I try to open the installed Firefox on the old drive, it (obviously) opens a browser from the new main drive, free of bookmarks. Is there a way I can save the bookmarks on the old drive without opening a browser?
The guts of my computer were rearranged and I got a new main hard drive. My old one is still in there and I can get stuff from it, but when I go to the Mozilla folder on the old one, I can't figure out if there's anything I can do to get all my bookmarks from that drive to my new one, where Firefox is newly installed.

If you open Firefox then Firefox will always use the default profile folder as found via profiles.ini on your system drive.
You either need to import the file in your current default profile or copy the file to your current profile folder while Firefox is closed.
Firefox 3 stores the bookmarks and the browser history in [http://kb.mozillazine.org/places.sqlite places.sqlite] and no longer creates an HTML backup by default.
There are also (five) JSON backups in the bookmarkbackups folder within the Firefox profile folder.
You can either copy the file places.sqlite to your [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder] or import the most recent JSON backup from the bookmarkbackups folder of that old profile.

"Application Data" in XP/Win2K and "AppData" in Vista/Windows 7 are hidden folders.
See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Show_hidden_files_and_folders
