i, too, have this problem - altho im using midori 0.4.6 atm...

fyi - my system is gentoo (mostly generic, 3.7.10), both gnome and
xfce desktops (if that matters)...

this problem also happens with epiphany 2.30.6, if that helps...
however, aurora,= 17.0.3 handles hotmail/live.com logins fine...

id be willing to test out possible fixes or ideas if thatd help...

the only thing that occurs to me (from browsing similar issues)
is that there might be a problem with the constant redirects
that m$ is using to perform the login-process (and send/retrieve
the appropriate cookies?) - so maybe some part of the 'chain' is
dropped and so it tries the login-screen again...

in particular, a symptom i noticed is that if i type in a BAD password,
then it (the login screen) returns the failed-login-attempt just fine...
however, when a GOOD password is passed - it seems like it is just
about to be sent to the correct page (outlook.com or whatever) but
then the original-login-screen pops back up as if nothing happened...

idk - i just thought some more info from my observations might help...
thanx for reading this (if you did)... sincerely, h.felton
