what causes Firefox to not recognize hyperlinks on web pages after the 58.0.1 update?
One specific instance is on the Outlook.com web page. When reading an email that has hyperlinks, Firefox dies not recognize some hyperlinks, particularly in the middle of the screen. Hyperlinks at the bottom of the display work, but ones farther up fail and kicks me back to the in basket. Internet Explorer does not have the problem on the same email.

I think Outlook is a special case, it exposed a bug in Firefox 58.09-58.0.1. The fix should be in the next Firefox 58 update (1-2 weeks from now?). Until then, you can try one of these workarounds:
(1) Use the Reading pane
If you have a wide display, you could try using the Reading pane on the right side of the Inbox.
<center>
</center>
(2) Use older layout code within Firefox
(A) In a new tab, type or paste about:config in the address bar and press Enter/Return. Click the button promising to be careful or accepting the risk.
(B) In the search box above the list, type or paste stylo and pause while the list is filtered
(C) Double-click the layout.css.stylo-blocklist.enabled preference to switch the value from false to true
(D) Double-click the layout.css.stylo-blocklist.blocked_domains preference and set the value to live.com and click OK. (In the unlikely event that you already had one or more sites listed add ,live.com to the list.)
Then exit/quit Firefox and start it up again to make the change effective.
Do either of those work for you?

Using the reading pane seems to solve the problem.
