albertlee Posted June 22, 2004 Share Posted June 22, 2004 Today I just installed FireFox and make it my primary browser on the computer.... but every time I click to see my mails on Windows messenger icon, it always opens IE.... Does any one know how to change the browser on the Messenger? Albert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NSX Posted June 22, 2004 Share Posted June 22, 2004 I tried it right now, and doggone, you're right. I thought setting FireFox to default browser would do the trick. I guess not. I have a detour to your solution: DON'T USE MESSENGER! Have you tried Trillian? Nice little program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sayonara Posted June 22, 2004 Share Posted June 22, 2004 As far as I know you can't. Seeing as most MSN portals are designed to break with non-IE browsers though it's probably something that's best to just put up with. I get around it by never allowing my hotmail address to be used for mail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted June 22, 2004 Share Posted June 22, 2004 I've tried many times and failed. Best bet is to just log onto MSN manually with Firefox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NSX Posted June 22, 2004 Share Posted June 22, 2004 I get around it by never allowing my hotmail address to be used for mail. Speaking of which, I've noticed that some of my friends use non-hotmail e-mails to sign into MSN [i.e. @sympatico.ca, @m1.net ...]. How'd they do that? & what happens when the MSN connects [like the pop-up saying how many e-mails you have, since it's no longer hotmail] ?

Dave Posted June 22, 2004 Share Posted June 22, 2004 At a guess, I'd say it would ignore it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sayonara Posted June 22, 2004 Share Posted June 22, 2004 You don't need a hotmail or MSN address to make a Passport account. That's sort of the point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
