My outlook.live.com does not open.
The tab at the top of the screen looks like it is open but the page is blank. If I use Firefox incognito or Edge browsers my hotmail opens as normal but not on a regular Firefox browser tab. I have cleared cache and cookies, no help there. Also, in the past two days all of my sign-ins needed to be entered (before clearing cache/cookies) and websites like weather had changed from F to C.

It appears that there is a problem with your Firefox browser settings or extensions. Clearing cache and cookies is a good first step, but if the problem persists, try the following fixes:
- Restart Firefox after disabling all extensions. Re-enable them one at a time to determine which extension is causing the problem.
- Reset Firefox to its default state by selecting "Help" > "Troubleshooting Information" > "Refresh Firefox" from the menu button in the upper-right corner.
- Check if your Firefox browser is up to date by selecting "Help" > "About Firefox" from the menu bar.
If none of these work, you may need to reinstall Firefox.
Reference:
Some extension may not be active in PB mode.
If you use extensions ("3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions) that can block content (Adblock Plus, NoScript, DuckDuckGo PE, Disconnect, Ghostery, Privacy Badger, uBlock Origin) always make sure such extensions do not block content.
- make sure your extensions and filters are updated to the latest version

Firefox shows a purple shield instead of a gray shield at the left end of the location/address bar in case Enhanced Tracking Protection is blocking content.
- click the shield icon for more detail and possibly disable the protection
You can check the Web Console for relevant-looking messages about blocked content.

Clear the Cache and remove the Cookies for websites that cause problems via the "3-bar" Firefox menu button (Settings).

Start Firefox in Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the extensions ("3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions) or if hardware acceleration or if userChrome.css/userContent.css is causing the problem.
- switch to the DEFAULT theme: "3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Themes
- do NOT click the "Refresh Firefox" button on the Troubleshoot Mode start window
