After searching around for awhile I came across several solutions to get Hotmail working. One required opening up the about:config settings and changing the general.useragent.vendor from Ubuntu to Firefox. This works but it is required every time you restart your browser. There was also another solution that involved creating some .js script and placing it in your profile folder?!? Finally I found a somewhat decent solution. This should work in any Linux type system.
First you need to install the User Agent Switcher add on.
Then you need to create a new User Agent profile by going to
Tools -> User Agent Switcher -> Options -> Options
Then click on User Agents tab and hit the Add button.
Add the following fields:
Description : [whatever]
User Agent : Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.0.3) Gecko/2008092417 Firefox/3.0.3
App Name : Mozilla Firefox
App Version : 5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.0.3) Gecko/2008092417 Firefox/3.0.3
Vendor : [blank]
Vendor Sub : [blank]
Here is what it should look like (some of the characters got cut off at the end)
Then click on OK OK
Now when you want to use Hotmail you can just quickly switch the User Agent Profile to the newly created one. When you are done, simply switch back to the Default Profile.

Muy buen, muchas gracias!
This site rocks!!! Where have you been all my life??
Brilliant! It also works on my Acer Aspireone running Firefox 2 and Linpus Linux, so thanks very much!
WOW..THIS ACTUALLY WORKS..im amazed
unlike all the other fakers who claim to know how to do it...
Thank you very much :) My partner will appreciate this greatly (it almost made her switch to Gmail which would've been great!)
Microsoft thanks you.
Their logs show that you are using IE instead of Firefox when you use this hack.
They will tell everybody that IE is the most used browser with 99.9% of the users in Hotmail, and that's not true.
Everyone of you MUST tell MS that the infamous Hotmail doesn't work with Firefox. It's their fault. They suck designing websites.
Howdy, i read your blog occasionally and i own a similar one and i was just wondering if you get a lot of spam comments? If so how do you prevent it, any plugin or anything you can suggest? I get so much lately it’s driving me insane so any assistance is very much appreciated. clique aqui
