Microsoft hotmail error <SOLVED>

[8-bit]

I used to be able to connect to hotmail from msn.com in Seamonkey.
I do not know if MS is now using it's version of web coding or they just hired another person that conned them into believing he could write web page code.
But I get this when trying to connect to hotmail lately.

serves you right. what self respecting linux geek would use a hotmail email address

[8-bit]

This self respecting geek had never heard of linux let alone Puppy.
When I got Quest DSL, msn.com was part of the package along with a hotmail address.

What is left of family members and friends use that hotmail address to keep in touch as well as the wife's craft sites.

NO, not that kind of Craft.

As a matter of fact, I made a complete mess of my user name when I set the account up.

So you can call me a MS closet geek to an extent.

Seamonkey mail works fine with the email account, but I like to sweep the junk box once in a while and I cannot do that from seamonkey mail.

Using Firefox, I'm able to get to their site and I can start the process of signing up. I'm not actually going to sign up, so I can't test it any further than that.

Maybe take a look at this thread:

I'm getting the same problem with seamonkey and firefox. I solved in firefox deleting all the user folder in my home directory /.mozilla/firefox and installed the 4 firefox. I use wary 5.
Have not been able to solve it in seamonkey. Gonna try to modify the about:config
Kind of weird this anyway

EDIT: solved going into about:config, adding new "general.useragent.override" and the value "SeaMonkey/2.0.11". Working now.

yosi666,
Once I figured out how to get to about:config by typing it in the url window, I created "general.useragent.extra.seamonkey"
I then gave it the value you show and that did not work.
I should mention that I shutdown and restarted seamonkey after the change.

What ended up working for me at least was to give it a value of "Firefox".

So unless this complicates other things, I will consider this solved.

Yep, sorry didn't mention how to get into config url...
And great, another possible solution to the same problem

Using Wary512
I used about:config
Right clicked "general.useragent.extra.seamonkey"
Clicked "modify" in popup box
Changed "Seamonkey1.1.1.8" to "Firefox"
Restarted....works fine now; thankyou
