Title: MSN: View emails with Firefox instead of Internet Explorer
Post by: Kitsune on September 11, 2008, 04:21:01 pm

When you click on the "open your e-mail inbox" button on msn, it opens with Internet Explorer even if you have Firefox set as your systems default web browser. Anyone know how to set emails to open with Firefox?

Well, if you haven't got anything against MSN Live, you can try this tutorial:http://www.raymond.cc/blog/archives/2008/01/27/open-hotmail-with-firefox-from-windows-live-messenger/ (http://www.raymond.cc/blog/archives/2008/01/27/open-hotmail-with-firefox-from-windows-live-messenger/)

I get error message after it installs, so I guess it does not work with Live Messenger 9. I will downgrade to 8.5 and try again. = =

EDIT:
Ok, downgraded to 8.5 and your program works like a charm, emails open with Firefox, thanks much! ;D
