This has been asked multiple times, please search the forums first!

To answer your question, this is not possible with Plus! Live. StuffPlug 2 used to have this feature (under the name of "let Messenger use my default browser") and it will also be included in 3rd next version for Windows Live Messenger, which will be released "soon" (Anders said it won't be released this month yet, but maybe in January '07?)

Well, I think the best thing you can do is just bookmark your Hotmail in your favourite browser and use that one. And if you don't want to, you just have to wait! 8-)

I know there is a script that closes IE and open other "explorer" with the link that would open in IE

Im not 100% sure but im sure it opens your default browser, which in your case is IE. set FireFox as your default :grin:

No that does not work, it will only make links open if Firefox not your mail. It uses IE. Read what Mattike said.

yes but i deleted that script(created by me)because it made impossible
work with internet explorer...it closed all internet explorer window and open the internet explorer's urls in a default browser...I'm trying to do a patch to open link directly in a default browser but i have found a lot of problems doing it...until next tuesday i can't work on it because i'm very busy this week...however i hope the patch(i think it will be a patch and no a script)will be available soon

code:
var Shell = new ActiveXObject("WScript.Shell");

function OnEvent_ChatWndSendMessage(ChatWnd, Message){
   if(Message.substr(0,6)=="/fmail"){
     Shell.run("firefox http://hotmail.com);
     return "";
   }
}


Just stay signed into hotmail in FF and it'll work
