Using Firefox 59.0.2 (64bit) on Ubuntu 16.04.03 LTS with latest fixes.
Firefox times out while opening www.hotmail.com only on Ubuntu (but all other websites are OK). Palemoon also times out with similar message.
But Chromium correctly opens and runs www.hotmail.com on the same machine.
hotmail website used to work fine in Firefox for all of 2017 and most of 2018 so far, but recently the issue seems persistent.
I also tried a firefox profile that has no extensions, same failure symptom.
On the same subnet, a Win7 with same version of Firefox 64bit opens www.hotmail.com immediately and runs without issues.
Firefox on Ubuntu shows "Looking up outlook.live.com" on the status area at the base of the Firefox window (although I enter www.hotmail.com in the address bar). Eventually Firefox shows "Hmmm. We're having trouble finding that site. We can't connect to the server at outlook.live.com. "
I compared the dnslookup response for www.hotmail.com on both Ubuntu and Win7 they seem the same, and both use the same DNS servers supplied by my ISP. The ping is successful to both www.hotmail.com and outlook.live.com.
Looks like some issue with Firefox but I'm unsure how to troubleshoot this. In my usual firefox profiles I use two addons, noscript and ublock origin so they may also be involved, although a firefox profile with no extensions still shows the timeout symptom for hotmail.

This question appears to be off-topic. The users who voted to close gave these specific reasons:

seems to load ok in chromium here. perhaps it was a temporary issue and is resolved now. most likely either an issue with the server, something in the network between you and the server, or an extension you have installed.

Same issue when firefox has no extensions, and same symptom with palemoon. can't be local network issue because it works fine with Win7 on same subnet.

Installed Chromium , and that lets me work successfully with hotmail on ubuntu. However, my preference is to use firefox. So need to investigate further, though not sure which diagnostics to use.

hotmail.com redirects to live.com which opens correctly now. Maybe an intermittent issue or a pure FireFox problem unrelated to Ubuntu itself?

Firefox works correctly today (with no changes by myself). The issue when it happens only impacts Firefox on Ubuntu, it does not impact Chromium on ubuntu, or Firefox on Windows. That's what is confusing.
