Firefox freezes in Hotmail.com

more options

Whilst Hotmail still seems to accept incoming emails (as evidenced by new titles appearing), I cannot actually access the emails themselves. This despite re-loading, and refreshing the page.

Neither can I get access to the other parts - junk, etc.

I should have added that I can get in to my Hotmail account via Google Chrome - so that indicates the problem is not at the Hotmail end.

Oh, and as this problem involved not being able to access my Hotmail account, it was not helpful for Firefox to require I confirm my query via my Hotmail account.

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).

  • Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
