A couple of setting changes and you will be back in your MSN mail on your Firefox browser in no time.

Open Firefox to a non-MSN site. If your homepage is typically your MSN mail, simply choose another site before continuing.

Check that you are using Firefox version 3.0 or greater. The new Windows Live setup for your MSN mail will not work on older versions of Firefox. You can find your version in the "Help" menu by clicking on the "About Mozilla Firefox" selection at the bottom. If you are using a 2.X version, you need to upgrade before you will be able to connect to MSN mail using Firefox.
