I cannot access my hotmail on Firefox anymore. It is just a blank white page "outlook.live.com/mail/0/" is what the tab shows up as. I have cleared cache/cookies and such, it has done nothing. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

What security software are you running?

This is all I get when I log in to Outlook on Firefox. I run Avast and your normal Windows firewall. Neither of which had an update within the time frame of this issue (a week now).

Disable Avast, reboot, and try https://outlook.live.com/. When you go to http://outlook.live.com/mail/0/ and it doesn't redirect to the login page with the female I posted above tells me that something is preventing your Firefox from redirecting.

You can check the Web Console (Tools -> Web Developer) for messages about blocked content and about the presence of mixed or unsafe content.

You can check the Network Monitor to see if content is blocked or otherwise fails to load.

If necessary use "Ctrl+F5" or "Ctrl+Shift+R" (Mac: Command+Shift+R) to reload the page and bypass the cache to generate a fresh log.

So doing "Ctrl+F5" while on the blank page fixed the issue. Made a new bookmark of it and it is working fine. With that having solved it can anyone explain what the problem was then? Thanks.
