MSN Messenger and Firefox

[starrylizard]

OK, so I recently switched to using Firefox rather than Explorer and I love the tab thing etc. Anyway, it was bugging me that when messenger alerts me to a new hotmail message, it will only open in Explorer when you click on it. So, I sent an email asking if there was a way around this.

The first reply:

A bit later, as promised, I received a second response from Hotmail:

Bah! So it looks like it isn't possible. Unless there's an add-on or something. Anyone know of one?

Go the pretty-coloured tab one. *g*

Oooh! Cool! Kinda makes me wish I liked Firefox.

They do have different themes for it...there are things that make it look more like opera.

That's kinda cool. But I guess I'm just used to Opera now. *g* *pats it* Which is weird, because I didn't like it when I used it at friends - though that may have been because she had the address bar hidden.
