Java/Hotmail Issue
Running Firefox, I can log into hotmail but I cannot access individual messages. Java Console gives me this message: Error: G is not defined
Source File: javascript:G('/cgi-bin/HoTMaiL?') Line: 1 I can access everything fine in IE, but not Firefox. I reinsalled Java, but it didn't help. |

1st -make sure you've upgraded to latest firefox version (1.04 i think) 2nd- Tools > Options > Web Features > "check" enable java script click on "advanced" tab for JavaScript, uncheck everything except: move or resize existing ... and change images

I don't know the answer to the problem, but I do know the problem is javascript not java. Installing a new JDK won't help.

I googled "firefox javascript hotmail" and found this: http://www.personal.psu.edu/users/j/...n-firefox.html You may want to back off a version of firefox if possible and use 1.03. It's always possible that MS decided to cripple hotmail for firefox users by taking advantage of some difference in javascript interpretation.

Interesting tidbit... Hotmail works fine on a 98 computer I use occasionally running the same version of Firefox. I ran a registry cleaner, but that didn't help either.

Whatever it is, it's just happened in the last couple of weeks. I really dont' recall changing anything.

Weird update...
I get on the computer last week and firefox is in a state like it was just installed. All bookmarks gone, homepage changed, all extensions wiped out. But the hotmail javascript problem is gone. This morning, same thing. So I look through Event Viewer and see that windows update did an automatic update this morning. I do a system restore to yesterday, Firefox back like it was with all my bookmarks etc. What the hell could windowsupdate do that would make firefox reinstall, or at least appear to be reinstalled??? FWIW, I shut off automatic updates, for now anyway.
