Hi, please try updating to 58.0.2 There was a problem with Outlook which should have been fixed now https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/58.0.2/releasenotes/

Open the 3-bar menu > Help > About Firefox; you can also go to Options (General) - Firefox Updates. Alternatively, you can press the Alt key to bring up the main menu bar > Help > About Firefox. More - Update Firefox to the latest release.

If it still doesn't work, try clearing the cache - How to clear the Firefox cache


Incidentally, you have an old version of Flash which if you intend to use, should be updated -

If your question is resolved by this or another answer, please take a minute to let us know. Thank you!
