I have been unable to access my calendar using Firefox. I can get to Windows Live Mail with no problems but not any where else.

[...] It appears Microsoft is blocking Firefox from a number of it â??s webpages. Iâ??ve heard of this before, but now thanks to the new reporter tool, we have hard data to back it up.read more | digg story [...]

[...] Spoofing the user agent to that of Internet Explorer also has success. At least on Windows Update they say right away that it requires Internet Explorer, which is an honest dialog as Firefox does not support ActiveX which is used by AutoUpdate. The only issue I can see with those pages is that the gradient on the top of the Microsoft site doesn?t render correctly. The same problem appears on the Microsoft homepage, but they don?t block that (presumably because the point of the page is to get people to buy things). Safari and OmniWeb seem to be blocked as well with that cryptic error message.Summary of: http://robert.accettura.com/ar.....g-firefox/ [...]

file your complaint with the hard data wuith the EU Commission– I had problems on the MS site, too, but am not geek. It’’s the only time I will pull out the IE– but is a good complaint to file with EU adn they will be all over it, if you have data to back it up.

I have experienced the same borking of FF after an “M$ Windoze Update” in that FF refuses to go to any webpages. I have yet to check noted bugs in the database or threads, it’s just odd that it occurred AFTER a windoze update…..
