Greetings,

Due to security functions, Messenger will actually open links in your default browser except
for Mail, Spaces, etc. which require Passport authentication.

There are some tricks around this (like using www.stuffplug.com with Messenger Plus
www.msgplus.net), but it's not completely recommended.

My default browser is Firefox, but when I click the links in the Messenger
window it loads up IE 7. Will I have to revert back to IE 6, so that Firefox
will be opened when I click the links? And why can't messenge ropen up the
Mail/Spaces in my default browser?
