FF3 and MS Maps problems

I've just noticed that FF3 can't view the main MS Mapping site: maps.live.com

Visitors get redirected to a 'browser not supported' page with this message:

"To use this feature, open Live Search in Windows Internet Explorer version 6 or 7.
For more information, and to download the latest version, visit the Microsoft Internet Explorer website (http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/downloads/default.mspx)."

I've also noticed lots of issues with mashups using Virtual Earth viewed with FireFox.

Do you think this is a FireFox or Microsoft problem - or a bit of both?

Hope this isn't 'old news' - but I couldn't find any posts on it...

EDIT: Topic should read CAN'T ! doh...

I tried it on another PC and it worked for me too!

Even though my FF3 installation appeared fine - no updates o/s and all add-ons disabled it still didn't work.

Downloaded and re-installed and things are working again :)
