Can't open hotmail emails in web browser

I can log into my hotmail account fine. However, when i open an email and then try to click on a link in that email i.e email from youtube with a video link. The email closes and goes straight back to the inbox screen. I have tried updating firefox, restarting computer but it still happens. I did open my hotmail account via google chrome and it works just fine, so i can only assume the issue is with firefox and not hotmail. Any ideas as to how to fix this as i don't want to switch to ggogle chrome if i dont have to
