You just need to make Firefox your default browser and it should work fine.

I love Firefox. It is a much more versatile browser once you learn to use it properly. If people weren't all so used to IE and too lazy to learn a new browser, it would be much more popular than it is.

All you need to do is to setup Firefox to be your default browser. I'm not exactly sure how to do that because I'm not using Firefox now.

TO make Firefox defauilt there is a setting within the Options menu which can be found in Tools I think.

To all those people that think that Firefox is crap. Just look at all the security updates that Microsoft has to release to keep people from finding exploits. Firefox has only had 1 major exploit to my knowledge and a patch came out within 24 hours of the exploit being announced, Microsoft often takes up to a week before the patches are released leaving many people unprotected.

Good job on the Firefox switch. It's generally used by intelligent people who like a customized, safer way to surf. Now, with your question, what does the "M" in "MSN" stand for? Of course its connected with IE. Don't think you can change that.

because IE is your default browser. i personally dont use firefox, so i may not have the instructions right. but it should be by going to tools, then options or preferences, then looking around to change firefox to the default browser.
