hotmail: 30s delay with lock up when I press "reply"
With Firefox 14.0.1 in Hotmail when I press "reply" on a message then Firefox locks up for about 30s. This happens after the reply message appears but before it fills in the "to" box.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
- Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

OK, thanks. I tried all of that. It still does it.
It looks like it's related to a script that fills in the "to" address box.
It seems to be related to the Add On "Microsoft silverlight plugin 4.1.10329.0". I thought that safe mode disabled add ons.
Safe Mode might not disable Plugins, but it definitely disables Extensions.
I just updated Silverlight and that solved the problem for me!
