Hotmail Full Version Incompatible With Firefox 3

An anonymous reader notes that Hotmail's full version doesn't work with Firefox 3. Users get the following message when they try to log in: You are temporarily on the classic version of Windows Live Hotmail due to an error encountered during login. Before trying again, please clear your cache and cookies. (Clearing cache and cookies doesn't fix it.) At least 8 other bug reports have been duped to this one. The fault apparently lies with the Hotmail site, not Mozilla — maintainer Dave Garrett assigned the bug to Tech Evangelism, explaining: "I'll... move this over to TE, as my guess is this [is] the site's fault (just bad user agent sniffing?)."

    Excuse me Active and very smart guys here, But can anybody here describe the simple logical basic of these sentences : 1. "Hotmail* Full Version Incompatible With Firefox* 3" 2. "MS is MS, they are the collective, resistance is futile" are you serious? really to describe and report a bug in using some systems together , shall we refer "the Incompatible" to wich one? "the newer" or "the older"?! please read this fake topic even as a joke! : "Ferrari CEO in rome said that:"the Earth is incompatible by our new Models""! what do u think about this man or woman?!!! ok! ferrari is a good car, even ferrari is the best but the earth is older than ferrari, even you say ferrari is Elvis!!! do you think that MS must predict the Arch of new FireFox even before release it and changed it's long time available service-HotMail- Methodology based on that. so i think the correct form to report this problem in a human manner is : "Firefox 3 Incompatible With Hotmail Full Version ". and about the number 2 , I Can just say "What? come on the smart!"
