MSN and Firefox

Hi all, this is my first post.

Okay so I use MSN alot, and whenever I get an E-mail I can just click and it will pop up. The problem is that it always opens in IE. Whenever some one sends me a link on MSN it will open up MF, but the email is always IE. Is there some way to change this because its really making me a bit mad lol.

First of all, welcome to TCF. Second , it would open in Internet Explorer probably because IE is set as your default browser. To change it to FireFox, Go to tools on the FireFox browser, options, and then under Main,
click check if FireFox is default browser. If it isnt make it the default browser. If thats not the case, tell me and I will do some research for you. Hope that method works!!!

Hi Slirtuius

WinXPGeek's suggestion may well work for you, but I've found that it's almost impossible to get MSN to open new emails in Firefox, without installing additional software. I think it's just MS's way of getting people to use IE
