Disappointed but not surprised at MS trying to force people back onto their IE service by not making windows live work with firefox. I started using firefox because my credit card kept details kept getting ‘robbed’ using internet explorer. No such problems since I switched to firefox. Furthermore I think I will just forward my mail onto another account that works with FF. Windows live is pants, Microsoft is sh!T. They sold me a crap operating system in vista, which was not tested and debugged properly before getting sold. Imagine if the pharmaceautical companies sold medicine before testing it. Oh wait the swine flu vaccine, that hasn’t been tested. Well apart from the swine flu vaccine? Bottom line Microsoft is a terrible product that tries to coerce customers instead of letting them choose. They expect the public to debug their sh!t software for them. I am not falling into the trap of getting windows 7, I am going to put a linux partition on my machine, make it dual boot and live happily ever after. Give microsoft the Bird. Their systems are unsafe. Their products are shit. Get free office suite on linux, safe internet and great media software free on linux. Its time we all made the change. Sorry Bill but you’ve been fobbing off poorly deisgned and tested software for years. It’s high time it stopped.

I still can’t get Hotmail Live in Firefox 3.0.1. It works in I’net Explorer 7 but defaults to Classic in Ffox.

MS is so lame… They haven’t innovated anything. Their new IE 7.0 is a rip off of Mozilla and the tabbed browsing..
I am forwarding all my mail to an Yahoo account, which works perfectly with Firefox 2.0… I AM SO LIVIDLY upset @ the fact of no rendering of splitter in Hotmail…

Everyone should understand (google) what Jacob is saying above.

Microsoft’s pension for marketplace dominance has long been an outta control impersonation of true free marketplace innovation. Ultimately, we’re only looking at laziness-driven merchandizing here, not any truly necessary net value new utility going back to patrons in exchange for the $$ and time we offer them. Think of the value of the collective lost time worldwide with this foolishness (marketplace exploitation). Best thing to do, when one can, is simply not use links/patronize/visit sponsors w/ ads on MS owned site(s)(Hotmail, the new Live bs)(ads on Gaming related, MSNBC, etc.).

Hi all. Whenever I visit the link for Windows Live Mail Beta via ideas.live.com, it always logs me into my hotmail. Am I missing something? If I need an invite, can someone send me one? Thanks! -T

Windows Live Email has a splitter window that Firefox does not render.

[...] The site is located at a valuable domain name, Live.com. (Back dans la journÃ©e, I had a band by that name autograph a T-shirt of mine.) It regurgitates nearly 50 validation errors. Due almost exclusively to unencoded ampersands, the errors are like misspelling â€œtheâ€ in a Ph.D. thesis. (The shopping component initially refused to work in Firefox. So did the whole thing, for that matter. And some people claim this thing is standards-compliant.) [...]

Hi,

I login Windows Live Beta from my firefox browser 1.5.0.4

I raised problems with Microsoft Support, but none of the points work. All settings regarding SSL, TLS are correct.

I am still not able to get my email frame displayed from the FireFox browser
