Firefox v. 29 will not work with Windows XP in accessing Comcast email.
My Comcast email will not load and I cannot access any email after installing Firefox v. 29. I went to Microsoft web site and installed the Service Pack 3 for Windows XP. This did not help. Do I need to reinstall Firefox 28? The only other solution is to get a new computer it seems with Windows 8.1 and I'd rather not unless absolutely essential.

I'm sorry your suggestions made no difference. I cannot load and access my email in Comcast with Firefox 29 no matter what I try. As mentioned, I did install Service Pack 3 for Windows XP so it should be compatible with Firefox 29. I have no problems going to any website. My email account will just not load unless I go back to Firefox 28. Should I do this or use an alternate browser like Google Chrome? Thank you.
Moses: a tech rep at Comcast finally told me they needed to do some upgrades to make the full version of their email program compatible with Firefox 29. He set the email on 'Lite' which seems to work. This was the 4th call to Comcast! Now email seems to be working due to this change. Thanks for the suggestions.
