Unable to read hotmail in firefox, but can in IE which I don't like

When I go to my hotmail account, the messages come up but I am not able to open them or delete them. I can do both in IE but I do not like IE. This seems to happen every few days.
Also have a problem loading gmail in Firefox but not in IE.

Hi shearglass, 
this was normal to happen. It's a common practice nowadays not to keep all cookies and deleting firefox cache frequently (I do it all the time..) but also (in order to see what is going on) you can use an addon like 
* [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/cookies-manager-plus/?src=ss Cookies Manager]
* [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/cookie-monster/ Cookie Monster]
 but it's not necessary!
Cookies are used by sites to track preferences and store sessions, so if a previous session was already saved it couldn't work with the new password. You could see this article for details: 
[[Fix login issues on websites that require a username and password]]
 You can also set Firefox to keep cookies from sites until you close it, so next time you start Firefox it won't remember your previous logins!
 In this article: [[Enable and disable cookies that websites use to track your preferences]] you will find more details on this! Hope that helped you!

This doesn't sound like a Firefox problem. You should try to consider, methodically, what you did before the problem occurred so that you can describe to someone exactly what occurred, and in what order.

I am unable to open emails in hotmail via Firefox but can in Internet Explorer

I can however do all this in Internet Explorer.
I have ensured I have latest Firefox release (9)

Can't get msn or hotmail with firefox but can with explorer,always used firefox before-what's up?

started in safe mode but still can not get msn or my hotmail, just comes up with a blank page.Removed all cookies and cache and all add-ons are off. Removed foxfire and reinstalled to no avail. Have done everything all can think of but no way it will work yet if I go to Explorers the damn thing works.Any ideas?????

Sorry you are having problems.
Both sites work ok for me using Firefox. That comment may not make you feel good but along with the fact that both sites work for you on IE it does tend to point to something rather specific on your computer affecting firefox.
I do notice quite a few questions recently about this. In many cases clearing the cache or just a Ctrl+F5 reload will help, along with clearing the cookies for that site.

I suppose malware could be the cause as this reply said [/questions/944943#answer-413484] and for a other troubleshooting advice please have a look at suggestions in this short [/questions/952206 thread]
Something you should try as an elimination step is booting with the F8 key into Windows Safe Mode with network support

I downloaded Firefox, but can't install because I "don't have permission to have all the" something. This is my personal laptop.

I wait until the download is finished, but when I try to drag the icon to the folder, it says I don't have permission to have all the info (not a direct quote). This happened yesterday when I was trying to upgrade, so today I trashed all the aliases and icons and tried to start over, but the same thing happened.

Download a new copy of the Firefox program: http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html
Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean reinstall.
Install the new version that you have downloaded.
Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder], so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data.

The SIM question/issue is separate from all of the others. Your iPhone will not access the cellular newtwork until you install a new SIM. The current SIM has been deactivated and is now useless. Get a new SIM, install it (or have it installed), then have your carrier grant the iPhone access to the cellualr network.

Firefox freezes on sites into which I enter info, like survey site and especially facebook.

Firefox freezes on sites into which I enter info, like survey sites and especially facebook. On a particular survey site, I filled in the dots for how much I like or disliked their product. After I was done, my firefox screen went grey and my computer became unresponive. I had to shut it down via task manager. The biggest problem is with face book. If I write long messages then I am okay... most of the time. It's inconsistent. But the result is usually a grey screen and I must follow the procedure above. I tried the same thing on myspace and oddly I didn't have this problem. Also, on facebook, while typing a message it will not scroll down when I get to the end of the page, such as this page just did now. Therefore I can't see what I'm writing at certain points. I recently reinstalled Vista Premium Home edition and then installed the newest version of firefox. Everything was fine til yesterday. So I reinstalled firefox and change my lag time to -1, but that didn't help either. Had a problem with adobe earlier too, so I don't know if that has anything to do with it. That's all I can think to tell you. Thanks for the help!

Hello Kelly.
It's possible that you are having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not caused by one (or more than one) of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] (don't forget to select ''Disable all add-ons'' when you start safe mode). If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and theme and [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+plugins this one] for plugins.
If you need support for one of your add-ons, you'll have to contact its author.

HT4260 Can i control which wireless clients i like to betrol which wireless clients i like to be connected on my airport base station?

Can i control which wireless clients i like to betrol which wireless clients i like to be connected on my airport base station?

Yes. Use AirPort Utility's MAC Address Access Control.
AirPort Utility > select your base station > Edit button > Network tab > "Enable Access Control" > click the Timed Access Control button.
You need to specify the clients you want to control by their MAC address, which is usually printed on the device's exterior case.

I am unable to read incoming e-mail in my hotmail account w/ firefox but can w/ IE. Help

e-mail in my hotmail inbox will not open with Firefox but I am able to access it With IE. Help. Thanks

I too have the same problem after I upgraded to Firefox 5 today. I have a Tiscali webmail account, it lets me sign in but a message is displayed that I have "undefined e-mails".
I closed down Firefox and opened Internet Explorer. This allowed me to sign in and access my e-mails without any problems.
Had to smile to myself as Firefox required my e-mail address to register and verify my new account so I could place a post or reply to other peoples posts etc. As previously mentioned I can only access these via Internet Explorer!

I can log into hotmail using firefox, but I can't read any of my emails, and most of the links don't work either.

I can't read any emails in my msn account. I'm using Firefox 4.0.1. Every time I click on one, it acts like it's reloading the page, but nothing happens. It happens when I click on links to my folders as well. It works fine in Google Chrome though. Is anyone else having this problem?

I'm having the same issues, running Firefox 3.6.
After downloading Windows Updates for Vista, Hotmail has stopped working.
I can log on, but can't click on any messages.
None of the buttons work at all in Hotmail; it's completely frozen.
I have to log on using Internet Explorer.
I had the same problems with Firefox 4.0; Norton 360 wouldn't work properly with it, so I deleted it, and went back to Firefox 3.6.

Since migrating from Hotmail to Outlook, I can't access my contacts list using Firefox, but can with Internet Explorer - what's wrong?

Since the migration from Hotmail to Outlook, I can no longer access my Contacts (now People) using Firefox. There is no problem when using Internet Explorer.
I have v21.0 Firefox, and have cleared cache and cookies.
What can I do next (apart from not using Firefox)?

hello madscanner, you could try to [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems|reset firefox]] and see if this will address the issue...

A little white box appears in my browser window, and I am unable to do ANYTHING in Firefox, I can't even close the window.

I am using Mac OSX 10.6.8, so I know that Firefox should be working. The very first time I downloaded Firefox, I was able to use it for about 20 minutes, and then I kept getting some kind of white box (just small) that would pop-up over top of the search bar. Once this box showed up, I was unable to do anything in the browser...I couldn't close it, search, choose "file"...NOTHING. I have uninstalled and reinstalled it multiple times, and it still doesn't work.

The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
