y r u tring internet on such a nasty shit linux. IE 8 is better than google chrome,fire fox any version. If you concider installing silver light all sites will load instantaniously even in dial up connections. I tried gchrom. I felt the better option in old IE 6. Ang gchrom depends on IE

Hotmail does not work properly on Google’s newest Chrome browse release 3.154.9

The text area of the main-message box is all greyed out. Hotmail is useless to send or reply under Chrome, only reading incoming messages is possible.

Google’s help section shows a full list of pending bug-fixes and this issue is logged in there as of Nov 10, 2008.

I love CHROME and will only bring up IE for Hotmail until they fix it. Then IE – and all its system-crashes is history at my house.

Hi I found this:

install agent switcher plugin on firefox.
Go in choose option item in option menu of agent switcher and add a new browser following this:
Description : Mozilla Firefox 2.0.0.11 (Linux i686)
Agents User : Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; fr-FR; rv:1.8.1.11) Gecko/20071204 Firefox/2.0.0.11
App Name : Netscape
App Version : 5.0 (X11; fr-FR)
Platform : Linux i686
Vendor : Mozilla

savean choise it ; you can now use live hotmail under firefox in GNU/Linux.

This is total arrogance on the part of Microsoft (steve ballmer) I can live without MSN or HOTMAIL and have, after sending a final email to anyone using them, blocked mail from those servers. If everyone did that, there would be some real blowback from MSN/HOTMAIL prisoners.

(Sorry – fixed my previous post – too much Sake!)

You say it works OK for Windows users. Have you tried to send a picture as an attachment. It seems to require an ActiveX object installed, which gives access to your local drive to browse for files/photos. This won’t work in Firefox for Windows either.

M$ is bag of crap full of sh/t. We should all abandon their services like hotmail which is invariably prone to spam and viruses. Lets all move to Gmail or other alternatives.
