Question for Firefox users

Lisa · 04-15-2005

If you're using Firefox, how do you get Messenger to use Firefox as the browser when you click on the link to Hotmail that is in the Messenger window?

Is it configurable...I have a friend who has just installed Firefox, but when he clicks on that Hotmail link it always goes looking for IE (which incidentally isn't working anyway...hence the Firefox install).

As far as I know, from personal experience, you cant. MSN Messenger will not launch Hotmail in Firefox.

I could be wrong

From what I've seen anything .Net wont launch in Firefox.

Integrate all of your chats.

Not that it's helping in your original question, but I felt it my responsiblity to let you know.

You're too kind. :P

I'll let him know but I suspect Messenger may be his only chat so it could be irrelevant anyway.

MSN is Microsoft, so they're not going to play nice with anything but IE.

There might be a hack out there somewhere, but I wouldn't count on it.
