Akaik, there is no plugin that would do it without FireFox being made your default browser. However there is a work around only if you use Windows XP.

In Windows XP you can make a window accounts for each user of your computer.
In your account use this tool to make FireFox the default browser in your account only. Then set StuffPlug-NG to open all links in your default browser, only on your windows account and MSN account.

Also if you set up accounts, you can have messenger running and associated to each account, it's a lot cleaner if a lot of people are on MSN.
Please note this will only work if you have Windows XP

Hrmm i seem to have got the lock thing working, but when shutting Windows Messenger down and opening back up - it reverted to locking both.

I change the stuff on BOTH accounts - but it did not work

RE: Messenger Lock help.
Matty Bix, since use Windows XP, I suggest you set up accounts up for each user on your computer.
This way everyone who wants to can have MSN Messenger settings, and Plus totally isolated to their own Windows account (it is kind of like having your own computer in a computer).
You won't need loads versions of MSN Messenger running at once for each person on the same screen, you can have it cleanly set for one in each account. Go to Start > Control Panel > User accounts and set an account up for each user.
This way is a lot cleaner and you can have your own locking messenger settings that will for sure, only lock in your MSN Messenger in only your windows account. With the tool I showed you before you can set your own default browser, so that StuffPlug-NG will only open the links you click on in your default browser.

I understand that what I said may be unclear if you are new to setting up windows accounts, if you are unsure just ask and I will be personally happy, as will many other members here, to help you.
