Suggestion : Choose Internet Browser by XBOX116_4ever on 01-08-2005 at 08:23 PM
I have an Idea.
My IE is broken and I'm happy to not use it. I think FireFox is the best.
Well, It would be cool if you add an option to choose the web browser to use to see our webmail(hotmail) or our MSN Spaces blog.
PS: Excuse my english, because I speak french.

Tbh you should fix IE, your whole OS depends on it.
Back to your question..to use the browser you want in MSN (E-mail-button) you can use stuffplug NG.
For use with MSN 6.2 go to: http://www.stuffplug.com
For MSN 7: http://www.stuffplug.com/SPNGMSN7.zip (direct download link)

well people say use SPNG but i don't have hotmail so whats the point
i want to be able to click a link my friend gives me in a conversation and for it to load in firefox
only thing SPNG does is load MSN spaces aswell and thats not great.
I want to edit msnmsgr.exe somehow to do it is there any way?

These links will open in your default browser. Make sure FireFox is set as your default browser.

and that will open links taht my contact types in a conversation in firefox will it? somehow i doubt it 
I'm suprised no one has made a mod for this already

Links in MSN Messenger open in Firefox for me too. However, it does seem to be a common problem. Did a quick google search and you're not alone, couldn't find a solution in 2 minutes. Try google yourself, good luck.
