Is there a way to set it so MSN Messenger opens Firefox instead of IE when checking e-mail?

OMGOSH~!

i opened my email in FF~!

what i did was open it normally to view my email thorugh msn messenger, when. it comes up in IE Copy the URL from the address bar. then open FF. once you opened FF there a toolbar under the address toolbar that says i think getting started and lastest headlines. right click on that and say make new bookmark.

make the name : - Hotmail - Email
location: - the URL that you copied from IE.

once you have done that click ok~!

Click on that bookmark and it will come up to like fill in you email address and password. fill it in~!

Under where you fill in your email and password there should be an option to tick * saving email and password click on that then click log in or watever. once you have done that close, open up a new FF and click on that bookmark and it should work perfectly

* i dont know to to use FF through MSn directly

** hope this helps some people who h8 IE!

(me)

i wonder if removing IE via

Control Panel -> Add or Remove Programs -> Add/Remove Windows Components

would make Messenger open it links in your default browser.
Havnt tried though, might try it sometime.
