Zefenix, you're an idiot. He means how can he set it so when he clicks the inbox icon on msn messenger it loads in firefox instead of Internet Explorer, and since you signed up to this site it's obvious you're just trying to get your post count up without providing any help.
Also have to tried setting firefox as your default browser? This can be done by going to.. (Tools > Options > Advanced) all in the actual browser itself then at the bottom of the resulting window there should be a button saying "Check this box if you want it to Check firefox is the default browser at start-ip" or something similar, then click check now and if it isnt it will bring up a box asking you to tick it if you want to set it as your default. Hope I helped. ;)

I am afraid this can't be done (in a legal way). Msn uses internet explorer, whatever your settings are. Don't blame me, blame microsoft

Br4m, your wrong, I have had Firefox as my default browser for some time, and have also had MSN Messenger auto-open my email inbox within Firefox, even without the browser running.

I can't truly remember how I managed it, since I'm mainly a Linux user, and when using Windows, I now use Pidgin as my default IM program.

I think if you also go into your control panel, set your Internet Options default pointing to Firefox, rather than IE, then that should change it. If not, I hope someone points you in the right direction.

Just installing the latest version of Live Messenger fixed it for me, or else try this:

Just go to control panel, then to add/remove programs, click set access program and defaults, Then just set it to whatever browser you want to!!

Hi,

This is in fact possible, using a cool little piece of software called Stuffplug. Along with many other useful features, making your inbox open in your default browser is an option. If you have a version of messenger up to 8.5, then you can download stuffplug from their website: www.stuffplug.com.

Unfortunately, Stuffplug is incompatible with Windows Live Messenger 2009. Although WLM 09 automatically opens your inbox in your default browser, it requires you to log in each time when using Firefox. This is due to Microsoft 'not willing to risk' sending user information over a non-Microsoft based program.

It seems there is currently no option to open your inbox using Internet Explorer whilst you are using a different default browser. The stuffplug team are (slowly) working on a new version, but there is no expected release date thus far, and whether it is even possible to bypass this sign-in problem is yet to be seen.

It depends which version you run actually....

Older versions (i think 8.5 and below) used IE regardless of your default browser preference. You can only force it use other browsers by applying patches, like the Mess patch.

The newest version (version 2009), however, seems to look at your default browser preference. Thankfully they came to their senses!
