Hi,

I am using Firefox as my default Internet Browser (sorry for the Microsoft
folks!! ;-) ).
Since I moved to Windows Live Messenger 2009, when I open "Hotmail" from
WLM, hotmail starts in firefox and not in Internet Explorer anymore.

I guess this behaviour is normal but I don't like it as hotmail is not
automatically opened in firefox, it is necessary to type again the
password...

Is there a way to return to the previous behaviour?

Thanks in advance,

Kindest Regards,

I share your chagrin as I use Firefox as my default browser for the
security factor (noscript and gmarks). I do not believe it is possible
to have WLM use a different browser than what you have selected as you
default unless there is a setting in the options, or perhaps a register
hack that could be applied. I guess you can't have your cake and eat it
too. :-)
