Ubuntu/Firefox/Hotmail(Microsoft Live) - Send Mail Bug/Error

[jamesstansell]

You need to reapply the agent each restart.

I haven't needed the user agent switcher for a couple of years, but if I recall correctly, you could configure it to switch automatically for certain websites ...

Microsoft is simply saying to everyone without Windows.
"F" "U"
I don't remember Hotmail being a Microsoft territory when it started.
So why are some of us forced to use Microsoft products to use Microsoft services?
Because people in this world have no control and give it ALL away.

Thanks for the attempts to fix this silly problem everyone.

Just for the record, you can also bypass this by installing the Windows version of Firefox under Wine. I use the latest Wine from www.winehq.org (now at 1.1.8 ), so I don't know if version 1.0.1 in the Ubuntu repositories will cope well.

Probably the user agent switcher is a cleaner solution. I'm all for ditching WL HoTMaiL, this is not the first time it breaks Linux compatibility, and it won't be the last.

As a root go to /usr/lib/firefox-3.0.3/defaults/preferences and open and edit ubuntu-useragent.js In a line where it says Ubuntu put Firefox and save . Restart firefox and pray ! Now if someone could verify this !

here is link to my post

This is not a linux problem....


This happens to me in...

linux:
firefox
iceweasel (baicly the same)

windows
google chrome
IE
firefox

its no and off... but its not only a linux thing... however it does seem to happen to linux more oftern... its an odd problem but its not our problem... its hotmails screwup, i would love the old one back but i dont think you can...

if you log out and in again this may help :S or try a different browser, like opra maybe....

this is odd :S because you all seem to be linux related problems, but iv had this prob in windows firefox even IE... strange
