msnim protocol for wlm? in firefox by aNILEator on 04-16-2006 at 04:24 PM

yeah it doesn't work for me, has it been renamed or something?

for instance

msnim:add?contact=cindyej@botmetro.net

as a link adds that account to your messenger (if you didn't know that)

Just tried and it works in IE, just not firefox, what's up with that, any ideas on how to fix?

hasnt Windows Live Messenger only been used with internet explorer, becuase in a chat they spoke about default browsers etc...and if you click most links to websites it opens in internet explorer...?? maybe firefox doesnt work with it anymore?? :S

it shouldn't make a difference as it should register the protocol on your system like mailto: and callto: so all browsers can access it.

or at least taht's what i think :S
