I use Firefox on my Vista laptop. It is my default browser. Why does Yahoo! Messenger still open lin

I've already double checked that the Firefox option to check that it is the default on startup is selected. I've also verified under IE options that it isn't the default. It does, however, list itself for .url, .mht and .mhtml. I can't seem to de-select these. That being the case, the links I've been clicking are not of these.

Note: This is NOT MSN Messenger

This is what you do..

Force Firefox to make itself the default browser...

If Firefox already thinks that it is default, exit ALL INSTANCES of Firefox completely, then go to "Start Menu -%26gt; Run" and enter this into the text box:

firefox.exe -silent -nosplash -setDefaultBrowser

Click the OK button. You should be golden! :o)

If you don't have a 'run' item in the start menu, you can always press the Windows-key-%26gt;R to get a 'run' line. Then enter in the firefox.exe -silent -nosplash -setDefaultBrowser. Worked like a charm for me! Report It
