Windows Live Mail & Firefox !

For some testing reasons I have installed the Firefox web browser on my machine. I got surprised when I saw Windows Live Mail doesn't work properly under Firefox ! Did Hotmail team forgot Firefox users ??

As a rule of thumb:

* All Microsoft sites -> use IE

* All other sites -> use Firefox

Hey Ayman,

because of those same reasons, I have Firefox 1.5 installed on my machine (gotta test if your site works in ff right ;)). I checked out Windows Live mail and it worked like a charm for me. No problems here. It even seems like it's a bit faster than when I use IE. But that might be because of the time I'm testing it...

Anyway: I'm curious for other users' experiences...

@Ayman : Don't use Windows Live Mail, use GMail! :)

Roud, I think MS sites must care about users of the other web browsers.

Rick, thats weird !

Dennis, this is not good for .NET developers :P

Gmail works great for .NET developers! There is absolutely no good reason to use Windows Live Mail other than it's from Microsoft.

Come on guys ! we are .NET developers we have to support .NET which is part of Microsoft, so, we have to support MS itself ! Using FireFox, Gmail, Mc OS  wont help Microsoft. I do use Gmail, but I also use Windows Live Mail and it is my primary email, I always do compare between the two and I hope one day I can see Windows Live Mail MUCH better than Gmail. I do believe in MS :D ..
