Ok... so I'm out of ideas and don't really know where to look for an answer to this so I'll ask you guys.... lol.

I got a laptop with Vista on it not too long ago and installed Mozilla Firefox for internet browsing and whatnot cause Internet Explorer sucks. I have Firefox set to my default browser but when I'm on AIM or Yahoo Messenger if someone sends me a link to a website it will automatically open in IE not Firefox.

I've tried digging through my computer's settings as well as my Messenger settings and can't find anything to change this. It's not the biggest issue in the world, but it's starting to get annoying.

I'm still kinda new to Vista so maybe it's something I missed, but I really wouldn't doubt it if Microsoft just wants to force you to use IE >.>

Anyone have any clue how change it?

:2thumbs: Thanks for that fix. Yahoo was pulling up IE on me even though I had FF set as default. Now everything works wonders!!! WOOOHOOO!
