A few years ago Hotmail started embedding links in Javascript disabling the ability to open messages in various tabs.
I used a plugin for Firefox called Hotmail Tabs that corrected the problem.
But now it seems that they changed their code and it's not working now.
I tried another plugin called Link Fixer Thing but it doesn't work either.
I'm getting annoyed as I don't want to open a single message at a time!!
Anyone feeling frustrating or having a solution?

I noticed that as well - I tried the hold ctl- then click the link and it opened up a second window called Javascript- and also opened up the mail in the same window.

What version of Firefox are you using? Firefox 2 can use the full version of Hotmail which may remove the need for tabs but Firefox 3 still has to use the crippled version since Microsoft haven't updated Hotmail for it.

i have firefox 2.0
i switched to the full version but i still have the same problem, i can't open more than one message..=S
