Install Silverlight 2.0 from MS.

Hotmail is working here with the Silverlight 2.0 plugin disabled, so I don't think its that.

No it doesn't. I can login, but when I go to click on any mail, it freezes up and I get a yellow loading bar in the bottom left corner.

Ditto. Same here with 3.1 beta 1. Forced to use IE for hotmail.

does hotmail look/behave different if you have silverlight installed?

It seems you ran into Bug 462428. Looking at the comments on that bug, it seems up in the air whether or not it will get fixed.

can you use Firefox 3.0.4 with a clean FF profile instead, xpgeek? Hotmail seems to work with Firefox 3.0.x and earlier as I've checked myself. ditch FF 3.1 beta for now.

It's so sad that hotmail doesn't work with my 3.0.4, not a clean profile though, actually the only browser that works is IE on my XP, but in ubuntu it works fine with 3.0.4, it all happened when I got a hotmail upgrade.

are u sure, Staind? try Firefox 3.0.5. I have that one installed under WinXP SP3 and WinVista SP1 and it worked well with Hotmail, even with a newly created profile AND no add-ons installed.

I've been beta testing the latest nightly builds for Shiretoko (FF 3.1b3pre), Minefield (FF 3.2a1pre) and Seamonkey 2.0a3pre dated 1/29/2009 and these browsers seem to work okay with Hotmail. I can now read my Hotmail messages. So the Hotmail problems should be mostly fixed in the upcoming Firefox 3.1 beta 3 and Seamonkey 2.0 alpha 3 releases as well as the final releases of those browsers when they're ready.

Edit: I didn't realize they fixed it. Must have been just within the last one or two builds. Oh well, was not a big deal for me since I use gmail as primary. This bodes well for them doing the code freeze next Monday as they have planned.
