Is there a way i can configure firefox to open from windows live messenger instead of internet explorer?microsoft



You simply have to make firefox the default browser, so that external links will open with firefox.



In firefox, click on Tools -%26gt; Options -%26gt; Make sure you're in the Main tab. Here at the bottom, put a tick in 'always check to see if Firefox is the default browser' and hit OK. Now restart Firefox and it'll prompt you to set it as your default browser. Just click Yes.



After doing this, open internet explorer (IE) and click on Tools -%26gt; Internet options -%26gt; Programs (tab). Here at the bottom uncheck(if it isn't already) 'internet explorer should check to see if its the default browser' and hit OK.



Edit:



Ok, you're right, i use Opera, but made FF my default browser and opened couple of links on WLM, and yes they do open in internet explorer. I really think there's nothing you can do about this. It's programmed into WLM to open links in internet explorer even when its not your default browser. I also went under WLM options , and couldn't find one that'd let me open the links in the default browser. However, i hope in future versions WLM will let us open the links in our default browsers, or at least put a preference which lets us do so.

You have to make Firefox your "default" browser. There should be an option to do so somewhere in the firefox menus.
