Outlook? Not working with my old safari browser.

My browser does not support the technology of OUTLOOK.  I was automatically changed from my old style hotmail to outlook.  Now I have had to add a "develop"' tab, and change browser to Firefox, which worked for some time, but now doesn't.  I don't know how to access my hotmail email now.  How do I change back to my old school hotmail?  I currently use a mac with an older safari browser and don't want to upgrade due to memory.
 If you are still experiencing the problem please try the following, it has helped some (but by no means all) users.

Have you tried to access your account using another browser or computer?
Does the same issue happen?
First make sure you are using the newest version of your browser.  
Some older browsers are no longer fully supported like IE 6

I recommend that you clear your browser's cache and temporary internet files to make sure that they are not causing your issue.
This is often caused by a corrupted file in the browser.

Please clear your browser's cookies by following the instructions on the link below:
*For Internet Explorer browser: Press CTRL+SHIFT+DEL simultaneously and click Delete
*For Google Chrome: Press CTRL+SHIFT+DEL simultaneously and click Clear Browsing Data
*For Firefox: Press CTRL+SHIFT+DEL simultaneously and click Clear Now
(other browsers are similar)

If you are using Safari or are on a Mac drop the "s" in https.  
1. Sign in through this link: https://account.live.com/ManageSSL
2. Choose Don't use HTTPS when I sign in to Hotmail
3. Click on Save.

The Hotmail Engineering team has identified the issue with the Safari 5.0 browser.  
The team is working on a solution in a future update.  
If you’re able to upgrade your browser, the problem should be resolved.  
Or, if you’re not able to upgrade,
Hotmail recommends using a different browser for Mac, such as Firefox or Chrome.
