Blank MSN live.com emails with Firefox 3.5.2 on KDE 4.3 x86_64

Hello,

An interesting problem just came to my attention.

If I log in to mail.live.com (my MSN hotmail account) and compose and send an email, the receiver can only see the subject line and not the email body/content/text ! This is on Firefox 3.5.2 installed on KDE 4.3 with Arch x86_64. Is this some sort of package/repo issue because I used to have KDE 4.3 RC from the kde-unstable/testing repos before it was moved to the regular extras repos...

How do I go about troubleshooting this?

Note that this works on Firefox 3.5.2 on KDE 4.3 on Kubuntu 9.10 alpha 4 and I've tried in safe mode as well with addons (essentially just adblock plus) disabled...

Thanks,
Vishal Rao

Hello Vishairao!

Do you have the PKGBUILD(s) which worked in the testing repository ? If yes, you can compare the recent stable PKGBUILDs with the older ones.

Open firefox, type 'about:config' in the address bar, then promise you will be careful and type 'agent' in the filter bar, check if 'general.useragent.extra.firefox' is set to 'Firefox/3.5.2', if not then change it and give hotmail another go.

I've never had luck with live mail... until now.  The past 5 or six version always did this to me.  I can' tell you how many emails I've had replied to that said, "???".  Just tried it with 3.6 alpha one though and no problems.  Yeah!
