Hotmail issues with ff?

yes, i’m one of the group who has not gone to gmail but i was wondering if anyone knew why i would be having trouble logging into hotmail with FF lately, only in the past couple weeks has it been a problem.

i enter the info at the log in screen, press enter, and then it goes to an empty screen and says done in the status bar.

i usually have to send the info about 4 times before i can get in.

any tips? i have cookies disabled, would that be it or is M$ trying to discourage the FF users from using hotmail lol?
