    Firefox won't open email messages
    « on: March 18, 2010, 12:25:09 PM »
    I'm using Firefox 3.0.18. On this and the previous version, I cannot open my Hotmail messages. The Inbox and other folders display all emails correctly, but when I click on one to open it, the page just refreshes.

    IE 7 and 8 both open the email messages correctly. Also, my gmail messages will open in both IE and Firefox.

    I have disabled the pop-up blocker for Hotmail in Firefox, but that didn't help. Also, I have changed my Firewall (to ZA) and my anti-virus (to Avast), without any success with the problem.

    Any ideas? Any more info you need to help ? (Such as: my OS is WinXP home 2002 SP3).

    Thanks

    You could update Firefox.  Your version is becoming a bit aged.  The current version is 3.6.

    Also, there won't be more Firefox 3.0 updates after this month.

      THANK YOU. Ver 3.6 fixed the problem.......I guess I just should have waited longer...the problem has existed for months and months.
