go to control panel>add\remove programs>on the left side it says "set program access and defaults", click that, then click teh arrow beside custom, then for broswer select firefox.

OR

Go into firefox and click: Tool>options>general on the left side>click check now.

fuck ive tried both ways already and when i open up like hotmail and shit from msn messenger it always fuckin opens IE that peice of shit. is there any other ways?

Not sure if this would matter but: Go into ie>tools>options>"programs" tab>uncheck "check to see if IE is teh default browser".

not sure if that would make any difference, shouldn't, but might as well see.

next try going into any folder on your harddrive>tools>folder options>file types>click "internet shortcut" then click advanced>click on "open" then click edit on teh right. Change the program it is set to open with (currently probably says rundll32 and some other crap) change it to firefox. Repeat for print and print to...

again not sure if this will make any difference but i guess it is worth a try.

If those don't help, reinstall firefox?

yep. stuff from Messenger will still open in IE.
Why? because Microsoft sucks.
Now you see why they got sued?
