    i sign in and can not click anything nothing will open to read. ff and ie work fine on the same machine. is this normal for everyone. also why does it force me to have to open my verizon emails in a new window where ff3 lets me view the email right on the verizon page. any ideas?? any settings that can be changed??

    Yes, yes. There was a fix for it in one of the dev. updates. Well not really a fix, but a temp. solution which made the site think the site was being viewed with Safari.

    Are you taking about Hotmail or Windows Live Mail?

    Windows Live Mail works perfectly in FF3 for me.

    I just checked my Live Mail with FF3 and it works fine.
    I also just tried it on Chrome and I have no problems with it. I can view my inbox, create and send messages, etc.
