Not IE, Firefox

Everytime I open up someone's profile on MSN Messenger, it will come up, rather slowly, in IE, but I want it to come up in Firefox. Can someone tell me how to configure this please?

in firefox 1.5 do the following:

tools -> general tab -> firefox should check if default browser

it will then give you the option of setting firefox as the default browser

It's already set as default, I've double-checked, still the same.

Ah, that's because Micro$oft hard-coded MSN to launch such links in IE instead of Firefox. They've been to court (and lost) over things just like this before, too bad they haven't learnt their lesson!

Ah right, thanks for the information. I assume there's no way to change it then?
