MSN Hotmail sign in problem: Almost every time I try to sign in, the message “Your session has timed out. Please try again.” appears and I have to reenter my password. This happens with Windows XP, Windows Vista, using Mozilla Firefox 3.6.11, using different computers, all combinations. I do sign out at the end of every session when I use MSN Hotmail. What causes this? How should the Firefox settings be optimized or changed to rectify this? Please help! My Email address is hcasemore@hotmail.com. Thanks, Harry.
