O.P. RE: Changing MSN to Open Links in Other Browsers
Thanks for the comment!
I found the problem - basically Opera was set to 'default browser', but for some reason wasn't associated with the HTTP protocol (even though I set it to be, in its internal settings...). Maxthon (IE) was not set to default browser. Anyway, it was a strange problem but not hard to fix. Now I am enjoying Opera
