MSN messenger Question

Post by thecreech »

Ok i have switched over to FireFox quite a while ago but when i use MSN messenger and click on the my messages to check my email i still get sent over to IE which i don't want. Is there anyway to switch it so that MSN will go through FireFox?

Seeing as how it's a Microsoft product and it wouldn't make sense for them to use a competing browser, I would say not.

What settings do you have?
I have been using Trillian for awhile now and that feature never worked.
I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who constantly says: "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action"; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a "more convenient season."

You might want to ensure that Firefox is set to be the default browser -- if it isn't than IE will still continue to load up URL clicks from other applications.
