Opening Hotmail in Firefox closes Firefox and opens IE
Today when I tried to open Hotmail from Firefox 12, Firefox closed and IE opened up. I've tried several times and the same thing happens. I noticed my homepage had changed to Ask.com as well - not sure if this is coincidence or related.

Hi, please Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode . Scan your PC with malware removal software.

I already tried to open Firefox in Safe Mode which didn't fix the problem. I'll run a malware scan and see if that works. Thanks for the quick response!
try to disable/remove unwanted addons or toolbars. clear you browsing cache. and restart your firefox.
let me know if it works.
Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See "Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile":
If the new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

Looks like it was some kind of malware after all. Problem solved - thanks guys!
