I think setting your default browser to Fire Fox should do the trick, you can do this under the internet options section.

If that doesnt work, let me know.

EDIT: when first installing firefox, did you not have the option to have the option to set it as your default browser?

That doesn't work. I have Firefox as default, and opening my email inbox via msn opens it with Internet Explorer, asking if I want to set IE as default browser.

I'm just having a complete guess here, but could it be because you downloaded it on IE7?

Bad news Im afraid dude. Since MSN and Internet Explorer are both Microsoft products they have hard code MSN to use IE. Have read here....
