The problem is likely something with the foxbox's configuration. Are you using a custom user agent with TenFourFox? Any other special settings? How did you configure it before?</p></div>Cameron Kaisertag:tenfourfox.tenderapp.com,2012-01-07:Comment/476093942019-09-11T10:39:33Z2019-09-11T10:39:35ZRecent problems with Hotmail TenFourFoxBox<div><p>I'm not sure what you mean by "using a custom user agent with TenFourFox?" Is that something to do with my Preferences settings?<br>
Curiously, today the new box that goes to the Microsoft account page rather than directly to my email is working, but only after I refresh the "Something went wrong.." page a couple of times.</p></div>Everett Hayestag:tenfourfox.tenderapp.com,2012-01-07:Comment/476093942019-09-11T20:36:37Z2019-09-11T20:36:37ZRecent problems with Hotmail TenFourFoxBox<div><p>User agent settings are either done under Preferences > TenFourFox, or sometimes there are add-ons that control it.</p></div>Cameron Kaisertag:tenfourfox.tenderapp.com,2012-01-07:Comment/476093942019-09-12T02:55:35Z2019-09-12T02:55:35ZRecent problems with Hotmail TenFourFoxBox<div><p>I've had this problem occasionally as well, though lately it did annoy me more than usual.</p>
<p>The strong reason to use a foxbox with hotmail is it gives the lite/javascript-less client interface. On the other hand, if you log in with Tenfourfox itself, you get the full client that even my ivy bridge MBP chokes on.<br>
If you change the UA to classilla (Nokia N90), you get served the lite client on TFx as well, but encounter the same issue as a foxbox.</p>
<p>I don't know how a foxbox "spoofs" itself in comparison to the browser to get the lite interface out of the box, but today I got tired of this and tried various UAs. Just "Netscape 3" does not seem to give this problem, but does get the lite interface.</p>
<p>That solved the problem for me.</p></div>Raphaƫl Guaytag:tenfourfox.tenderapp.com,2012-01-07:Comment/476093942019-09-12T02:57:56Z2019-09-12T02:57:56ZRecent problems with Hotmail TenFourFoxBox<div><p>Foxboxes use unique user agent strings to them, not TenFourFox's, though TenFourFox does appear in the string. When you select the option to prevent the website detecting it is in a foxbox, however, it uses a string to emulate an Intel Mac running Firefox.</p></div>Cameron Kaisertag:tenfourfox.tenderapp.com,2012-01-07:Comment/476093942019-09-12T09:34:16Z2019-09-12T09:34:17ZRecent problems with Hotmail TenFourFoxBox<div><p>The original foxbox is working fine this morning, although it went to a Microsoft page that is a step prior to the sign-in page that it was originally set to go to. No "Something went wrong.." messages yet!</p></div>Everett Hayestag:tenfourfox.tenderapp.com,2012-01-07:Comment/476093942019-09-13T07:49:57Z2019-09-13T07:49:58ZRecent problems with Hotmail TenFourFoxBox<div><p>The first time I opened the foxbox today I got a slightly different "Something went wrong..." screen, without the "Refresh the page" line. The following came up under "More details". Is this any help?</p></div>Everett Hayes tag:tenfourfox.tenderapp.com,2012-01-07:Comment/476093942019-09-13T17:20:18Z2019-09-13T17:20:18ZRecent problems with Hotmail TenFourFoxBox<div><p>No, that's something server-side. I'm not sure what to make of it but it doesn't mean anything specifically to me.</p></div>Cameron Kaisertag:tenfourfox.tenderapp.com,2012-01-07:Comment/476093942019-09-19T08:18:46Z2019-09-19T08:18:47ZRecent problems with Hotmail TenFourFoxBox<div><p>No problems all this week.
