O.P. Windows Live Mail opening in Firefox?
Hey guys. I was just wondering since I've started using Firefox a bit ago, how can I make the Windows Live Mail in Windows Live Messenger and on the start menu open in Firefox instead of IE7.

I searched for this and found a thread involving opening a script or something but I didn't understand how to do that. Would really appreciate your help.

You can use Stuffplug 3 for this.

Is there anything else I could use/do?

If worst comes to worse, I'll download that but I'd like to try something else.

The fact that the versions stuffplug works for is slightly outdated?

Wow, horrible.... All you have to do is just set your program access and defaults to what you want........ If you don't know how to do that it should be on your start menu if it isn't located in the right column then go to Control Panel --> Add or Remove Programs. Once that has loaded in the left column of that there should be a button that says "Set program access and defaults" And it's pretty obvious where to go from there.

WLM will still force the inbox to open in IE, regardless of what the default browser is.

False,
I never said just the browser you can set your e-mail client as well.
True,
I have both, and have set both.

But you may or may not have to also change some Internet Options Settings under the programs tab.
