I can't edit my contacts in Hotmail/Outlook through Firefox, but I can edit them through Explorer. How come?
When I use Hotmail/Outlook through Firefox, I can open all links except "People" (contacts). The error message I get is (translated from Dutch): ":-( Something went wrong. No mailbox was found for myaccount@hotmail.com." Strangely enough I have no problem editing my contacts when I use Hotmail/Outlook through Explorer. Does anyone know how I can fix this? Thanks in advance. Erik B.

Please contact Microsoft support for more help with this issue.

Try Firefox Safe Mode to see if the problem goes away. Firefox Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode that temporarily turns off hardware acceleration, resets some settings, and disables add-ons (extensions and themes).
If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
- Click the menu button
, click Help 
and select Restart with Add-ons Disabled.
If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
- On Windows: Hold the Shift key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
- On Mac: Hold the option key while starting Firefox.
- On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run firefox -safe-mode
(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".
If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, theme, or hardware acceleration. Please follow the steps in the Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems article to find the cause.
To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.
