Corrupted Content Error. The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because an error in the data transmission was detected. Please contact the website owners to inform them of this problem. Ever since FireFox updated to 7.0.1 this error occurs.
Signing out of Hotmail generates that message I mentioned: Corrupted Content Error. The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because an error in the data transmission was detected. Please contact the website owners to inform them of this problem. Ever since FireFox updated to 7.0.1 this error occurs. How do I stop it? Now it appears to be doing it across multiple websites. The TRY AGAIN button always comes up when initially trying to load a webpage - very frustrating.

You can get a "Corrupted Content Error" error if there are multiple location redirects send via the HTTP response headers.
- bug 681140 - Corrupted Content error due to multiple Content-Disposition header field instances
cor-el - Firstly, let me say thanks. I clicked on the bug 681140 link you supplied and it appears that I will have to do some debugging. I have extensive reading to do with related articles that pertain to this issue. How it is happening is more bizarre than why it is occurring at this point.
It appears that it is in my "about:configuration" files that I can adjust how headers are sent out, or more importantly, how many times they are being sent out that causes the redirect to try and load pages more than once. Does this seem like I am on the right track to fixing this issue? Thanks again.

This is the first time that I see this mentioned with Hotmail.
I'm not getting that error myself if I sign out of Hotmail.
Clear the cache and the cookies from sites that cause problems.
"Clear the Cache":
- Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Offline Storage (Cache): "Clear Now"
"Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:
- Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
Hmmmm. I have posted a screenshot attachment to give a better description of what I am dealing with here. This is the second page that comes up on the redirect of signing out of Hotmail.
The first page is suggesting I do exactly what you are instructing me to do. Notice the address in the main address bar? I don't, and it gets stuck there in the sign out process, and asks me to try again, and then it works. STUMPED!
I have cleared and have my browser set to automatically clear cookies when a browsing session is ended. What is next, because trying that didn't do it. Should I blame Hughesnet like everyone else? LOL
BREAKTHROUGH:
I have narrowed the problem down. I was using an old url link bookmark to sign-in and Windows Live has a new sign-in address link page. It appears as though Windows Live wants a subscription in order to eliminate roaming advertisements- Yeah, I'll jump right on that LOL -Too many sites want the same information over and over, what are they trying to do, see if someone is lying to them by isolating recurring browsing history?
O.K. - the sign-out works properly now......but, a damn Internet Explorer 9 advertisement (not a pop up; but a whole screen) takes the place of the MSN home screen that is supposed to be displayed after signing out of Hotmail. Clever little pricks. That was the mysterious hidden redirect link hidden in my address bar that only flashed for a millisecond; but I caught it with a quick screenshot, and was able to isolate a recurring pattern. I killed part of the problem, only to have a new one arise ... the constant advertisement of Internet Explorer 9 product instead of the MSN home screen being displayed like it is suppose to. I'll figure it out.
These advertisers are getting clever by stopping redirect home screens from properly displaying. I'll figure in a workaround for it and as far as I'm concerned, Internet Explorer 9 can stuff it - as many times as they freaking like.
Pop ups are even getting clever in circumventing internet browser security settings and personal preferences. They can stuff it as many times as they freaking like also where the sun don't shine as far as I'm concerned.
When I figure in the workaround so that the home screen isn't interfered with, I'll post the fix.

Well, upon further investigation into this little fiasco, it appears that msn.com requires that you sign out of Hotmail from their page even if you don't have a Windows Live ID.
More intriguing, is the fact that when I sign into msn.com even though I lack a Windows Live ID, it displays that I'm signed into my Hotmail (because my username and password qualify as an ID I guess?); but, when I click the Hotmail button, a whole new page is brought up (not another tab) FireFoxes doing, not msn's fault- which is my Hotmail page but it is displayed reduced in size????? I have to put the new window to maximized proportion to have it displayed normally.
I've been reading through the problems people have been encountering with Firefox 7.0.1 lately, and I have to say: This is the start of its' demise. Everyone seems to want the older versions; but the older versions lack security guards and everyone was tricked into believing that if they didn't have the latest version, their computer was at risk to security threats. Scare tactics win the day again I guess.
Very sad, yet completely expected since it has been free. Something seriously went wrong with Firefox 7.0.1 as far as compatibility issues it seems.
Just goes to show, if ain't broke, you don't mess with it. PLEASE RETURN FIREFOX TO THE WAY IT WAS. This is what happens when you let good things fall into a bunch of eager young college students hands that think innovation betters an existing product that worked flawlessly to begin with.
Matter of fact, anytime I ever came across the words written on a product that state "New and Improved", the product actually got worse and worse the more they messed with it.
Funny thing is, Firefox is designed by Mozilla which is the global community responsible for making Firefox operate impeccably, and all of the sudden it is as if that community was asked to quit making the internet easily accessible, open and public to everyone, as stated in the "About Firefox" disclosure in the Help tab button. Just saying: What the hell is going on here?
