I have been using hotmail.com forever. Today when I try to sign in I DO get logged in but after 5-10 second it clears and I get the following message.

Something went wrong and we can't sign you in right now. Please try again later. The Microsoft account login server has detected too many repeated authentication attempts. Please wait a moment and try again.

I have been trying for a few hours now. I reset my Macbook. As an experiment I tried my iPhone. It works. I tried an iPad. It works. Then I tried Chrome on the Macbook Pro and it works. The only thing I am having trouble with is Firefox and Hotmail. Was there an update last night or is there some kind of cache I need to clear? \ Thanks
