Making msn use firefox instead of IE

[Gordy]

Is there a way of doing this as I far prefer firefox?

[Allen]

You mean, getting a M$ piece of software to work with a non-M$ piece of software? Is that even possible?

Sorry, I don't know of a way round it...

[daniel_owen_uk]

There is a way because I did it other day, but I will be buggered if I can remember the name of the software.

Might be stuff-plug or something similar, you need to have msn plus installed to use it, if no one has figured it out by time I get home I will post again.

Edit- Yep defo stuff-plug http://kryptonate.kaonet.net/pafiled...ion=file&id=11

Youch! MSN Plus is full of crap isn't it? Spyware galore!

[Gordy]

Thanks , I dont think I have msn plus installed , what does it do?

[daniel_owen_uk]

Stuff like custom contact names etc.

It can be fully of spyware and crap but just use the usuall to remove it.

Why would it be full of spyware? It doesn't open any ports apart from the one used to transfer data through messenger so how can it do anything internally?

[Stoo]

Messenger Plus rawks, with that and stuffplug installed, it really makes MSN worth using, no spyware either (You can choose not to install the sponsor program on messenger plus)

Ok, it must have been my g/f doing it wrong then last time. She installed it, and the next thing you know there was banners, adverts, and all sorts happening on here machine. I un-installed it and most of them went away.

I may try it though, see if it's worth it. TBH though, I use MSN for writing and TS for chatting. What else would you want it to do?

[Gordy]

Just installed it and its working nice 1!

I'm trying to setup the check other email addresses feature at the mo , which should come in very useful

[directhex]

msnplus asks to install spyware during install, you're allowed to say no.

[Allen]

Cool, I'll give it a go then.

[Kezzer]

firefox is teh uber. MSN plus is also very cool

[Gordy]

just set the default browser to firefox instead of IE

With standard msn it ignores that
