hotmail is build for ie
 may 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.

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 |

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.
