Firefox And Hotmail help, question

Everytime i open my email address with mozilla at hotmail, i get this popup trying to make me download some dll file? does anyone know what this is and how it can be stopped, because i hit cancel and it opens up and if i click say another link like compose, the popup comes back again,a nd its real annoying, pls, any help is appretiated

hotmail is build for ie :Dmay be that's why its not working properly and active x is not supported by mozilla ^_^but try to enable "block unwanted pop ups" or block all pup ups at the preference.

Weird, i never had that, are you using an old version of mozilla? I just checked my Inbox without any problems. Maybe you could try FireFox? That's a better browser than the one in the Mozilla suite.

firefox is just a browser which is inherited from mozilla, while mozilla have some additional stuffs like chat and more. it means firefox use the same engine as mozilla. yeah it's a wierd prob, i also din't encounter this one in my mozi. may be he is using a old mozilla or a night builds which is little buggy than the stable builds

hmmm...sounds like you etheir have some kinda spyware prob? does it do that for any other websites? or maybe you accidently deleted a dll needed for accessing certain sites and mozilla is just trying to give you back what you need?...whats the name of the dll?

I have not tried to open hotmail in firefox... coz i m not used to of firefox and i love IE so no problem opening hotmail in firefox

I can open hotmail in my Firefox, what message exactley are you getting, and maybe I can help you out.

I can open hotmail in firefox too, no problem...OS: Windows XP Professional SP2IE Version: 6.0

yeh, its probably because hotmail was built for IE and Opera, but i think if you have an Internet options in the tools button up the top toolbar, then go into it and find the pop-up blocker. whatever you do, do NOT download any of the "amazing popup bockers!" they will just give you more pupups and viruses!

Hmm i think it has something to do with his installation or configuring of FireFox it self. Try downloading the new FireFox 1.0, if that doesn't solve your problem, try sweeping some spyware off your pc (anti-spyware progs like spybot or adaware). IF that doesn't help, then i think you should reinstall windows.

try downloading a pop-up blocker. i use a free version of "Pop-Up Stopper" and it is fantastic.

Have you tried upgrading to Firefox 1.0.2? Its odd, I've never had a problem with Hotmail in Firefox (even though I don't use it much - Gmail is better!)
