O.P. Huh?  MsgPlus Default browser
hmm running ie9 release candidate(i don't think that's the problem) and this is what's happening.
If i click on an url it opens in ie(which is OK because it's my default browser)...the same for clicking the links people share(status msg)...but if i click any menu from msgplus (like get new scripts...and so on) it starts up firefox.Any ideas how to fix this?

RE: MsgPlus Default browser
Messenger Plus! reads the registry key stored at "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\http\shell\open\command" to get the default browser to open web pages in. Could it be that IE9 doesn't update it correctly?

It's beta, so I would guess it is that.

But it doesn't update that registry key, just as Apatik said. [Just tested, could anyone else try this too?]

Was IE your default browser before installing IE9?
[Windows 7 32-bits here, btw]

well...seems it didn't quite fill these reg entries.
your post works.copy/pasted into reg file:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\http]
@="URL:HyperText Transfer Protocol"
"AppUserModelID"="Microsoft.InternetExplorer.Default"
"EditFlags"=dword:00000002
"URL Protocol"=""
"WebNavigableCLSID"="{ae90e550-0443-47fb-a001-4875648d4ed3}"
"FriendlyTypeName"="@C:\\Windows\\System32\\ieframe.dll,-903"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\http\DefaultIcon]
@="C:\\Windows\\System32\\url.dll,0"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\http\shell]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\http\shell\open]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\http\shell\open\command]
@="\"C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Internet Explorer\\iexplore.exe\" -nohome"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\http\shell\open\ddeexec\Application]
@="IExplore"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\http\shell\open\ddeexec\Topic]
@="WWW_OpenURL"

imported and it works.
thank you!
