I'm having the exact same problem, and I don't know if this may be relevant, but I've found that Ubuntu is stripping parts off the URL when launching links saved on the desktop.
I notice that Pidgin is launching hotmail the same way messenger does, by opening a file saved on the computer so I'm wondering if some of the parameters may be getting lost as firefox opens the file. The link parameter problem is a known bug, reported here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/233913 Ross -- Have to login manually when opening Hotmail inbox https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/255972 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
