Can't sign into Hotmail. . .

with Firefox. I get this message:

The Microsoft Passport Network is unavailable from this site for one of the following reasons:

* This site may be experiencing a problem.
* The site may not be a member of the Passport Network.

I've cleared my cache, cookies, allowed all cookies, but still get this message. I can sign in ok with IE. Running XP Home SP-2. Any ideas?

Will not sign in using IE and just stalls loading passport. Firefox works well with Hotmail every time... go figure!

I had to sign in on the Microsoft .NET Passport page first.
