I upgraded to Firefox 7.o.1 and lost the Hotmail gadget on my Google homepage. Tried to reload the gadget, but get this message: "The browser you're using doesn't work with HTTPS in Hotmail. Please try a different browser or change your HTTPS settings on your PC." How do I get my Hotmail gadget back?

Hi tnt395-

I looked this up and it seems that the Hotmail gadget only works with non HTTPS connections. HTTPS is much more secure, and helps keep you from getting hacked. Ultimately it is up to the gadget maker to work with browsers. If you want the gadget back more than a secure connection, you would need to revert to an older version of Firefox [not recommended]. Downloads are available here:
