I am in the US and when I log out of hotmail (technically live.com) using Firefox 15.0.1 (which is up to date) the 'landing' page is now se.msn.com (the Swedish msn.com page) instead of the US version of www.msn.com. It's not that bothersome really, because I usually just close the browser after I log out of email anyway, but I'm afraid there might be a bug or virus or malware of some sort (with Firefox). This does not happen when I use Internet Explorer. Anyone with the same or similar problem? Any ideas? I did not change any settings to cause this.

Affected sites: hotmail.com, live.com (technically http://bl149w.blu149.mail.live.com/default.aspx ) System: Win 7 Home Premium SP1 64 bit OS Firefox 15.0.1

Strangely, without making any changes, now when closing Hotmail the proper U.S. version of msn.com opens. Solved.....I guess.
