When logging out of Hotmail. The page loaded is directed to MSN, which I don't want. I want it to default to my home page. There used to be a user script loaded automatically when using GreaseMonkey add-on. This made Mozilla go to my default home page. i.e Google. Now I can't stop MSN loading. Where has the user script gone? It used to work fine but seems to have disappeared with the Mozilla upgrade.

Have solved problem: Load Greasemonkey, by going to Mozilla Help>Add-ons>Get add-ons. Once Greasemonkey is loaded.Go to Mozilla tools>Greasemonkey>Manage User Scripts>Edit scripts. Then copy and paste the following script into the edit box (change the www.google.co.uk to whatever page you want to go to before you save it) Also after you have saved close MOzilla and re-open voila:

// ==UserScript== // @name No MSN on HoTMaiL signout // @description Stops hotmail redirecting you to msn when you sign out // @namespace http://userscripts.org/users/7063 // @include https://login.live.com/logout* // @include http://login.live.com/logout* // @version 20120913.2350 // @run-at document-start // ==/UserScript==


window.location = 'http://www.google.co.uk/';


//tip: //if you want a blank page use 'about:blank' instead of 'http://www.hotmail.com/'
