Cannot access hotmail from Firefox, using windows 7, problem occured overnight
I have been unable to access hotmail via Firefox. I receive the following message
The connection was reset
The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading.
The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments. If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network connection. If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.
This appears to have happened overnight and I have the same problem with IE 11. OS is Windows 7.

Hello briwwest, any luck if you close router and open it again ?

Boot the computer in Windows Safe Mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test.
Do a malware check with several malware scanning programs on the Windows computer. Please scan with all programs because each program detects different malware. All these programs have free versions.
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web Link} by holding down the <Shift (Mac Options) > key, and then starting Firefox. Is the problem still there?
This didn't help I'm afraid. I have full access to the Internet with both IE 11 and Firefox, but still no Hotmail in either. Thanks anyway!
Tried all of the above, but without success!! See also previous reply. Thanks for trying.
