I use firefox as well. Of late ie use to freeze my pc once every 5 mins or when i open a new ie window/other application. Not so for firefox. Firefox rules

how do i change it so that every window i open is mozzillla firefox. e.g, when i am on messenger and hit the e-mail button it goes into internet explorer, not firefox

YOu need to download stuff plug for that www.stuffplug.com, having firefox as your default won't prevent msn from opening in IE, as it is a microsoft product and they don't want some competition with how it opens, but with stuffplug, whatever default browser you have, anything to do with msn that is linked in msn will open in Mozilla Firefox...

To get it to open in your default browser (in this case Firefox) you need StuffPlug-NG. If you are using MSN 6.2 you can get it from www.stuffplug.com, if you are using MSN 7 you have to use anohter version. I don't remember the url for that one but I'm sure someone will be able to help you.

traxor, do you know the url for the one for 7.0??

there you go .

thankyou, but how do i use it

You must install it, then restart messenger and have the following ticked when the blue stuffplug configuration box appears (these are the configurations that I use):

• Enable Auto-Talkers (you can set a talker and this translates your text into certain things like 1337)
  
• Enable Over-sized Display Pictures (you can have bigger dp's)
  
• Open Hotmail Inbox in default browser (what you want )
  
• Enable window opened notifier (when someone opens a window with you it tells you)
  
• Enable on-the-fly compression (puts the file you send into a .zip then person on the 'other end' gets it normally)
  
• Alert when someone deletes you (you are told when you get deleted)
  
• Enable over-sized emoticons (big emotes)
  
• Boost Message-length ro 10 000 chars (you can have 10 000 letters)
  
• Polygamy (Clone Messenger) (msn7) (enables multi-msn)
  
• Removes 5 custom emoticon limit (you can use more than 5 custom emotes in one Message)
  
• Enable all custom emo shortcuts (you can use any shortcuts for custom emotes)
  
• Disable emoticon auto completion (disables the auto complete for the emotes)
  
• Disable 3 filetransfer limit (send more than three files at once)
  
• Use google for searching (in the main window, it uses google to search rather than msn)

(then you restart msn once again)

does stuffplug involve having winzip??? like to extract or whatever

No, you don't need winzip, just right click on the .zip folder and press extract here, winzip is already on windowsxp, but its not as good as the main big winzip that you pay for .
