About a week ago my microsoft webmail accounts (outlook, msn, hotmail) quit allowing my to reply, reply all and forward email. When I click on the selection it does nothing. My yahoo and gmail accounts work fine. I've also noticed since the problem started, that when I start firefox, the firefox background flashes red until my theme loads.

I'm looking for Firefox 45 site compatibility issues and looks like there are some people experiencing the same issue. Does the Safe Mode work for you? If not, something might be going wrong with Firefox.

Thanks for the info FredMcD, but I've tried that and other solutions and none have worked. I found that going to the firefox website and selecting 'refresh firefox' provides a single session solution.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web Link} by holding down the <Shift>
(Mac=Options)
key, and then starting Firefox. Is the problem still there?


Start your Computer in safe mode with networking. Then start Firefox. Try Safe web sites. Is the problem still there?
