I use Firefox on both my home and work computers. At work, I can access our portal and check my Outlook webmail via Firefox. However, at home, I can open Outlook but I cannot open emails. I cannot double click on them. I was able to up until about a week ago and no longer can.

I tried that and it did not work. I am not logged in at work. It worked just fine until about a week ago, and I can log in and read my email using chrome.
