For some reason, when I access my e-mail (Outlook.com/hotmail) I cannot write a message to anyone because there is no text box to write in. The box for the recipient's email address works fine & the box for the subject line also works fine. But, no matter what I do, there is no way to actually write a message. I've tried this with new messages, replying to messages & forwarding messages. None of these work, and the problem only occurs on Firefox (for Mac). This problem does not happen on when using Safari. I noticed the problem after I upgraded to version 39.0. Can anyone help me resolve this? Thanks! Shannon
