Hotmail Full Version Incompatible With Firefox 3 258
An anonymous reader notes that Hotmail's full version doesn't work with Firefox 3. Users get the following message when they try to log in: You are temporarily on the classic version of Windows Live Hotmail due to an error encountered during login. Before trying again, please clear your cache and cookies. (Clearing cache and cookies doesn't fix it.) At least 8 other bug reports have been duped to this one. The fault apparently lies with the Hotmail site, not Mozilla — maintainer Dave Garrett assigned the bug to Tech Evangelism, explaining: "I'll... move this over to TE, as my guess is this [is] the site's fault (just bad user agent sniffing?)."

"Why are FireFox users using Hotmail?"

Not surprising? Last I checked, Google is the #1 search engine, but you could still access it 100% with IE.
This is like if GM was the primary sponsor for Six Flags amusement parks, and the parking attendants direct you to park at the far end of the parking lot because you drive a Toyota, but they don't explicitly say that they do so, and even though there's no technical reason why your car can't park in the more convenient spots.

No, you'll be thinking of hotmale.com.
Boy, I wish I'd registered that way back when, to make my megabucks!
