I am using Firefox as my browser these days as IE is cack and adware ridden. However, despite it being my default, MSN messenger always uses IE when opening up any msn/hotmail pages. Where can I change this?

theres loads of MS stuff that doesn't easily allow changing of defaults - it might be hidden somewhere in the registry but I doubt it will be easy to find.
tbh I can't be arsed using FireFox anymore - IE has gotten a lot better since sp2 and plugins are a nightmare on FF (well last time (~0.6) I used it they were. -
pff, you should check out FireFox PR1, you cannot comment on a beta from 3 or more months ago. FireFox is now what IE6 wishes it could ever be.Originally posted by csuzwComment

SharkAttack - do this:
In Firefox>Tools>Options>General>Set Default Browser.
Makes any program use Firefox rather than IEComment

I have never been able to get MSN Messenger to use anything other than IE. It just refuses to do it.
But everything else defaults to opera

Oh wait, sorry - you meant emails. Nah they open in IE for me too. Normal hyperlinks open in Firefox.

I set Firefox as default in "Set programme and access defaults" and when I click on Hyperlinks in MSN Messenger they open in a new Firefox window each time.
I'm using version 1.0Comment

There is a bug in the installer, it doesn't register the browser properly. You can download a registry file to fix it if you check around. Or you can do what Valken said.Comment
