  • Yahoo Messenger using iE even though firefox is default

    clicking into new mail or clicking links in yahoo IMs is opening IE instead of firefox, even though firefox is set as my default browser.

      Hm, have you checked Yahoo IM settings for this?
      If it can't be found there, maybe it's something TweakUI can fix.

        MSN Messenger does this too when you click to check email (but not when you click a link), and as far as I can tell there is no way around it.

        Dunno if it's same for Yahoo though.

          I had a similar problem where links from Mozilla Thunderbird emails and from the alt-tab window in ss would go to IE. All of my program associations were with Firefox.

          All of this was fixed when I installed Firefox 3. Maybe that helps?
