I received an email yesterday stating that a change of password had been requested on my account and gave a code to allow the change to happen.
No such change was requested by me, the account holder, so I am very doubtful about the email. Especially so as it was sent to the 'standard' *** Email address is removed for privacy *** account and not the email account set for security purposes! Further, it gave a 'link' to https://account.live.com
so as such links are frequently suspect with spoofed or hidden redirections I manually typed that into my Firefox browser. But nothing happened! It apparently attempted to access the URL but nothing appeared for quite a while, until I got an error message
saying the server was too slow in responding. I tried 5 times yesterday with the same non-result.
This morning I tried yet again and got exactly the same non-result! So in desperation I tried using IE8, and got in almost straight away! Why didn't it work with FF25? It MUST work in ALL browsers surely as I should be able to access that page from my Ubuntu
Linux system that only uses Firefox and IE is not available for that platform, or is this yet another example of Microsoft trying to dictate what software people use?
Anyway, I managed to change my password for safety - but still no other confirmation request messages and I can access all my Microsoft accounts with the new password without any other confirmation!! That's surely not safe enough? Especially in view of the
fact that such a 'confirmation' notification had been sent but to the wrong email address!
There seems to be something very odd happening that makes me very uncomfortable with the whole Microsoft Office, and especially hotmail.co.uk, systems and shows to me that Outlook.com is definitely NOT any safer than previous web-browser-based email systems
and that your current advertising is at least misleading and maybe totally wrong and hence illegal in the UK.
Comment from the Outlook.com team please?
I've had hotmail for years and years and years. I'm on a macbook pro using Mavericks 10.9... But not sure that even makes a difference, as I'm using a firefox browser to access my hotmail massage through outlook.com... When I sign in, my inbox is empty.
I can see old emails in the folders, but the inbox is empty, and if I send mail to hotmail, there simply is no mail. What gives?
My PC automatically defaults to a mobile version of outlook, and initially it wanted me to upgrade my Firefox browser which I did do but it didn't change anything. how do i get the PC version and have it stay?
I asked this question before and I managed to get the PC site up, but when I went back in, the mobile site was there. Now when I approach the community, the answer is not there. When I sign out of the mobile site, there is a PC site option on the bottom of the next page, but when I click on the PC site and try to sign in, it again takes me to the mobile site.

Over the past several hours I have been unable to create a new email or after I open an email, I am unable to forward or reply to the email. I am using firefox browser and when I tried safari, I was able to send a message.
New computer with Windows 8. Used primary email address, not Hotmail, as Microsoft account to access computer. Using IE browser, my Outlook account lost all prior email, (IN box, Sent, Contacts etc) and the ONLY mail I receive is messages from Microsoft. Using
Firefox browser, I get the old Hotmail format, not Outlook. I can receive and send email, but can not move emails to folders. I can view my mail on Outlook with no problems on old computer that has XP. How can I receive and send email from Outlook using
Windows 8?
Is there an ongoing problem with Outlook? - I can log on to my Outlook Email Service but can't access or see anything - only an ERROR:
Message from my Internet Explorer Browser...
"Sorry there seems to be a problem with Outlook right now"
...and from Firefox Browser this:
Runtime Error Description: An application error occurred on the Server.
Anyone have any clues? When it will be fixed? Regards, bbg.

How can I set up my Microsoft Live Mail with Firefox browser so I can acess it? Would appreciate any suggestions.
Thank you!
Hello,
I am using Hotmail on a Mac (Firefox browser) and each time I sign into Hotmail, the Messenger signs in too. I do not want this. There must be a way to get this to not sign me in automatically. I know I can just "sign out" each time, but there has got to be a setting to either disable this or, delete my Messenger account completely. No more auto-sign-in please!
Thanks so much for any insight!
