  • No e-mail through Firefox for 24 hours. Checked the V-media, they have worked on my PC, IE OK via remote control. Assuming that it has to be Firefox.

    I can't access my e-mail from Virgin Media via Firefox since yesterday morning. Verified with V-Media, they remote - access my computer and open Internet Explorer and have been able to access my mail very well, so I have to assume that the fault is with Firefox.

    Can you help me please?

    I use Windows XP for years, no problem talking on Virgin Media, used Firefox for years, also no problem. This problem came out of the Blue yesterday. Took forever for the messaging client open, then the emailes does not open.

    Gave up waiting for it to be fixed, looks like that it will never be. However, I tried 'use basic HTML", assuming he can do at the moment, but I find that it works not only (the problem is not affecting him), but it is quite acceptable. Its quality is not reduced somehow, and the UI is better, in my opinion. On the one hand, I see much better malls (they use more of the screen) and all the stuff on the left side are neater and always visible, do not ' hide ' under other bits of "stuff."

    For my money, it's better, and I clicked to save as my preference.
