Linux users are blocked from using hotmail through Firefox

Tested with Ubuntu 8.0.10 and Firefox 3.0.4. Apparently, Microsoft does not like strange browsers roaming about.

The  solution was simple:

1. In Firefox URL address bar enter about:config
2. Press Enter
3. Confirm that you will not be naughty
4. Locate the entry general.useragent.vendor
5. Double click on it and change it to Firefox (in my case the original value was Ubuntu as Ubuntu issues and maintains Firefox releases/updates to Ubuntu users).
