Firefox 4 won't allow My MSN to open Win Live Calendar, Hotmail or provide stock quotes on the default page.

My home page is My MSN. All prev. versions of Firefox opened the Calendar, Hotmail in preview fashion. Click either would take me to their main page. Stock quotes were also displayed, refreshing whenever the page was reloaded. Now, all I see are the banners for Calendar, Hotmail. Stock quotes show only info as to who provides the data. Click on any of the three takes me to the proper page. I've deleated Firefox4, then downloaded twice with no change. HELP!

Since I could not find a solution, I uninstalled Firefox 4 and installed Internet Explorer 8. Now My MSN works fine.

I also installed then uninstalled Google Chrome. It may be a Microsoft thing that prevents other web browsers from working with My MSN. I am not a fan of MSNBC and may go to another homepage, but after 13 years it's difficult to change.

Firefox has too many add-ons & extensions I've come to love, especially Cool Previews. At this time, I find the new IE9 to be MUCH faster than FF4, problems notwithstanding. Its now my browzer of choice with FF4 as backup. Your reply agrees with other forums. Someday, softie will get around to correcting this problem.

Anvilhead, let me know if you find a home page that is similar to My MSN. So long as I can continue with Hotmail in the same manner My MSN allows, I'm fine. Like you, MSNBC isn't my cup of tea.
