Make firefox default browser for msn messenger

I am currently using MSN Messenger 8.5, and I've got Mozilla Firefox 3.0.19 set as my default browser.

Every time I open a link in my MSN messenger, it opens the Internet Explorer

Is there any way I can use Firefox as my default browser for MSN IM?

check edit->firefox preferences->advanced tab->general tab
there u can find system defaults, where u can set default browser.

I dont think you can do that as the Messenger is provided with the Windows, and they would like you to use IE

not working..

looks like MSN uses only IE. but still u can do. u need to modify registry parameters.
but that will be messy for beginners. take a backup of registry before doing..

hmmmm.. okkk
