It doesn't work for other browsers, like Maxthon :(

That's because Maxthon is a shell for IE.

I know. I just wish TB would add these browsers to it. :(

He won't be adding any browsers: that's not how it works. It works by creating a temporary HTML page that forwards to Hotmail, and that opens in the default browser.

But that sucks :( It says open in default browser and IE isn't my default browser. I'm sure it isn't that hard to grab the default browser path from the registry and open the link in that.

You'd be surprised the amount of coding and workarounds that are needed for something like that.

Awwwwww. I guess I'll have to stick to copy and paste. And even then it sometimes open up in IE (don't know why)
