    I have another question about firefox. I use msn messenger and it let's you check your hotmail email account but it opens the link with internet explorer. I have firefox as my main browser and i want to know if it's possible to make the msn messenger open my email with it. thanks

    I don't think there is a way to get around this. I think msn messenger is coded to open only IE. Maybe try Trillian which supports msn messenger and trillian should direct email to your default browser I would think. I don't use msn messenger but I do you aol IM and yahoo messenger. I use Trillian for my "all in one" chat program. Try it and let us know what you find out.

    There is a plugin for msn plus that lets you open the page in your default browser.
