Download Firefox 3.1 Beta 3 To Fix Hotmail Loading Problem

I usually stay away from BETA software because I do not want my computer or the software to be crashing on me while I am using it. However, I am more daring when it comes to BETA web browsers because they are able to load up websites slightly faster compared to the older versions. My computer is currently running Internet Explorer 8 RC1 and also just updated my Firefox 3.1 Beta 2 to the latest Beta 3.

Firefox 3.1 Beta 2 was released early December and I am sure everyone has been having problems viewing the emails in Hotmail Inbox. When I click Inbox or any other folders on the left pane, the bottom left will show a yellow “Loading…” message box and it remains like that. Clicking on any messages in my Inbox is inaccessible too. It is a known bug and I’ve tried searching for a workaround but couldn’t find any. The only way I could check my Hotmail is by using Internet Explorer.

Firefox 3.1 Hotmail Loading Problem

After 3 months of waiting, thankfully the latest Firefox 3.1 Beta 3 fixed this problem and I can now log in to my Hotmail to view the emails using Firefox 3.1! You can try it too because Firefox developers consider this release to be “stable”.


Download Firefox 3.1 Beta 3
Firefox 3.1 Beta 3 is based on the Gecko 1.9.1 rendering platform, which has been under development for the past 9 months. Firefox 3.1 is an incremental release on the previous version with significant changes to improve web compatibility, performance, and ease of use:

  • This beta is now available in 64 languages.
  • Improved the new Private Browsing Mode.
  • Improvements to web worker thread support.
  • Improved performance and stability with the new TraceMonkey JavaScript engine.
  • New native JSON support.
  • Improvements to the Gecko layout engine, including speculative parsing for faster content rendering.
  • Support for new web technologies such as the |video| and |audio| elements, the W3C Geolocation API, JavaScript query selectors, CSS 2.1 and 3 properties, SVG transforms and offline applications.

    • If you’re thinking of being adventurous in trying out the latest Firefox 3.1 Beta 3, please take note that there will be add-ons incompatibility problems and Firefox will prevent you from using it unless the plugin has proven compatible. You can check out this article on how to enable firefox incompatible add-ons.

      I’m using FF 3.0.7 and previous version of FF also work fine for me in hotmail,I don’t see any reason why should upgrade to unstable beta version.
      Try uninstall your FF and reboot,then reinstall again and reboot.
      Then check again whether the problem persist?
      tq

      Hi raymond, i also use Firefox.So far it work just fine.Some people saying that using google chrome is also good, but it crash like hell.Will try out this beta then..

    • http://www.raymond.cc/ Raymond

      rmvalues, I said that this problem exist in Firefox 3.1 BETA 2, and upgrading to the latest BETA fixes this problem. Had nothing to do with the stable official FF 3.0.7.

    • Umair Raza

      hey raymond..the enter button doesnt work in the latest beta.
      when you put in the url and press enter, nothing happens, you have to click with your mouse to continue on. Do you have any fix for this?

    • http://www.raymond.cc/ Raymond

      I just tried typing a link in url bar and hit enter, it brings me to the url… No problem for me.

    • Andy

      Damn, I got all excited for nothing. Hotmail still doesn’t work for me using this new 3.1 beta 3 version. Still just have the continual Loading…

      Funny thing is I get the same thing in IE on my computer. Haven’t been able to access Hotmail in over 2 years using ANY browser. Always just Loading….

      Glad it worked for you though. Not gonna reinstall XP just so to access hotmail hehe since everything else works just peachy

    • Andy

      Never mind what I just said! Just figured out why hotmail hasn\\\’t been working… Ad Muncher wasn\\\’t even letting hotmail load on portable browsers! That\\\’s crazy. I shutdown Ad Muncher totally and Hotmail now works on IE, this new Firefox beta, even the newest Opera 9.64 which I do have installed. Freakin Ad Muncher screwing me up. Who knew?

      - What theme are you using raymond? I love the simplicity of it, you should check out an add-on called hide menubar, i think you will like it.

      - Does anyone knows how to fix problem with gmail, I cant copy or paste inside gmail when using firefox minefield 3.2a1pre :( and yes i use minefield because its super fast =D

      Mr. Raymond,

      Thanks you so much for pointing this out. I have not been checked my mail since October because of unfortunate firefoxs beta. Now I can reply to months off email from Niger spammers. :)

    • LunarWolf

      I am using Firefox 3.0.7 and I have no problem loading my Hotmail…. It always works for me. There is no forever loading sign.

    • http://www.raymond.cc/ Raymond

      LunarWolf, READ THE ARTICLE before writing irrelevant comment.

      Can’t believe how you miss this sentence that says “Firefox 3.1 Beta 2 was released early December and I am sure everyone has been having problems viewing the emails in Hotmail Inbox. ”

      Duh~

    • utkarsh30june

      LOL confusion among readers! :D

      BTW, FIrefox 3.1 is really great, better than the best

    • CrazyGuy

      but when im using Firefox 3.1 Beta 2 loading my hotmail, no problem at all?

    • http://www.thenerdforum.co.cc brayden

      hahaha. lunarwolf. anyway does work for me. works fine on my beta 3 version. hie hie the only trouble is i keep going to the 3.0.7 version when i double click to go to firefox on my desktop.

      https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=462428

      Look at how many people are having that problem. It is a known problem, and not a random problem. CrazyGuy maybe you had the nightly build of Firefox 3.1 Beta 2?

    • nobody

      Useless beta in your pc if it is just a fix for a Hotmail problem Revert to 3.0.7 period.

      But if anyone here is more on power and development, in FF BETA TraceMonkey is OFF by default. Nothing to really be excited if youre just a plain user. for developers and power users Turn it ON to appreciate beta of firefox and help us the community to improve the engine.

      * open a new tab;
      * type “about:config” and hit enter;
      * read the warning and heed its wisdom;
      * enter “jit” in the filter field;
      * change the value of “javascript.options.jit.content” to enable (true) and disable (false) TraceMonkey for JavaScript in Web content;
      * change the value of “javascript.options.jit.chrome” to enable (true) and disable (false) TraceMonkey for JavaScript in XUL/chrome.

      Thanks.

    • LunarWolf

      Sorry Raymod. Thought you was talking about 3.0.7. My bet.

    • Nicholas

      The enter button doesn’t work for me either, I have the same case as reply number 5. Maybe it has to do with updating from 3.0.7 without uninstalling it? Oh well just thought I’d let you know.

      Firefox is not the answer to every computer problem, it’s just a Fisher-Price type of interface for ignorant people who don’t know how to use a computer and need someone else to do everything for them, mainly women, but nelly-belle guys too.
