How can i use Firefox as my default browser but still use/see my original MSN email account without having to go through hotmail?

I would like to sign on to the internet using Firefox, MSN Internet Explorer, but still be able to go to my MSN account, not thru Hotmail...

  • I use Firefox as my default browser but, on any site, keep getting some words underlined in green from which an ad pops up. Really peeing me off! Doesn't happen on IE or Chrome. How can I stop this?

    I use Firefox as my default browser but, on any site, keep getting some words underlined in green from which an ad pops up. Really peeing me off! Doesn't happen on IE or Chrome. How can I stop this?

    From what you have described, I don't think you are ever going to pick that up as malware at all. But I did look at the site you mentioned in Google Chrome, and in IE9. First thought was maybe Chrome suppresses it, but that would be contrary to trying to convince you that their AdSense or IntelliTXT is "helping" you.
    What I did find in Chrome was
    "Google Chrome's connection attempt to ad-apac.doubleclick.net was rejected. The website may be down, or your network may not be properly configured."
    Since I don't have ad blockers in Chrome or IE, that tells me that my hosts file is doing its job, you can draw you own conclusions. There is something similar displayed in IE, but I can't read what was there because the font-size was too big. for the space. In Firefox with "Adblock Plus" extension it is all wiped out. The hosts file works across the entire system but is directed at blocking malware sites more than advertising. "Adblock Plus" is very good at blocking ads and can do its blocking with more generic filters, and can block a lot of malware from coming in but it can't block at the system level that a hosts file can.
    In IE although I can only see "It appea" because the font is too large and text does not wrap it does actually say "It appears you are connected to the Internet, but you might want to try to reconnect to the Internet."
    I would certainly suggest installing "Adblock Plus" extension and the "Easylist (USA)" filter subscription -- links are in the links previously provided, and installing the hosts file as well also in the links.
    It takes a bit more work to install and maintain a hosts file but the directions should be clear enough.

  • How can I remove Firefox as my default browser?

    I do not want Firefox as my default browser at this time. Please advise how I can release Firefox from being my default browser.

    So if there is a link in some other application, what do you want to happen when you click it?
    The default browser settings are stored in the Windows Registry. In Windows XP there was a handy dialog to change the application responsible for handling URLs, but I haven't found it in Windows 7. If you find directions for editing the settings in Vista or Windows 7, then you could try blanking out the settings for how to handle URLs. It's always a good idea to make a backup before tweaking registry settings manually.

  • How do I make Firefox 4 the default browser? Whenever I open a link from email, it opens in the older version of Firefox.

    I followed the installation instructions for Firefox 4, after I had the earlier version. Whenever I open a link from email or other programs, it opens in the earlier version of Firefox, not Firefox 4.

    You'll need to get the Actions dialog to appear and check the use as default action at the bottom of the list. One of the common ways to get this to appear is to follow a link from an email program or a soical network app like Facebook or Twitter.

  • Clicking on a link does not open firefox and take me to the page when firefox is my default browser but does when Internet Explorer is my default browser, what is wrong?

    All of a sudden (I think after the last firefox update) links in other web pages won't open firefox to access the page when firefox is my default browser but works when I change my default browser to Internet Explorer and I can't figure out why. Help!!!

    This problem just arose for me today. Very frustrating. Tried all of the suggestions here without success. Then a very simple solution came to me:
    UNINSTALL CHROME. I haven't used Chrome for a long while anyway since it seems to have chronic problems of one sort or another. Firefox does 95% of what I need, and Internet Explorer can handle the other 5%.
    After uninstalling Chrome I clicked a mailto link. It asked me what program to use and did not list Firefox as an option for some reason. In the Tools menu, I chose "Options" and went to the "Applications" tab. Searched for "mailto". There was a single entry - when Chrome was installed it gave me no options to switch. After uninstalling Chrome I was able to change that. It still did not list Firefox, but it did list "Gmail". Selecting that causes my Gmail to open in Firefox.
    I have no idea whether Google or Microsoft is responsible for this, but I'm inclined to give the hairy eyeball to Google for this one. It's the sort of stunt they'd pull on Microsoft, then pretend it was just a mistake. Just one guy's opinion, of course.

  • How can I make Firefox default browser for links in Earthlink emails? I have already verified that Firefox is my default browser, but clicking on links usually opens IE rather than Firefox.

    Basically I have verified that Firefox is my default browser and it works great. Earthlink is my default email program. About 70% of the time when I click on a link in an Earthlink email it opens with Firefox, but the other 30% of the time it opens with IE, which I don't want to happen. Is there any way to fix this?

  • How do I make Firefox NOT my default browser and restore Internet Explorer as default browser?

    I used to have Internet Explorer as my default browser and when I went to Firefox it asked me if I wanted Firefox as my default browser and I always sad no. I must haves screwed that up somehow and I want to go back to Explorer as default.
    == This happened ==
    Not sure how often

    To make Internet Explorer your default web browser, you can click on '''Tools''' from the toolbar at the top and select '''Internet Options'''. Then select the '''Programs''' tab from the top of the window to access the default browser settings. You might want to also choose to be alerted if Internet Explorer is not your default browser. Click '''OK''' to save your changes.
    Please also be aware of that Firefox's latest version is [http://getfirefox.com 3.6.4] while you're running 3.5.9.

  • How do I set firefox as the default browser in Windows Server 2012 Group Policy Editor?

    Hello, I am unable to set firefox as the default browser despite multiple different attempts to do so using group policy.
    I have:
    - Set a registry command (targeted at 32/64 via a WMI query) to reset the opening command as shown below:
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\http\shell\open\command
    "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -osint -url "%1"
    - Set a powershell logon script to run (that does run):
    firefox.exe -silent -setDefaultBrowser
    Despite setting the above it seems the client computers browsers are not affected by the settings above. When the script runs or if I run the command above a UAC window pops up and requests that I accept the command (for the setDefaultBrowser) but even if I click yes as an administrator it does nothing.
    Since GPO in 2012 has changed perhaps there is something that I am missing? Do I need to somehow disable Windows Internet Explorer from achieving default browser status?
    Please do not reply if you will suggest that I use Internet Explorer Maintenance (since this function in GPO has been disabled since IE10)
    My DC is Server 2012, my client computers are Win7 32/64.

    The above reply does not take into account that I am trying to use GROUP POLICY EDITOR to make it the default browser.

  • Numerous websites linked to desktop icons won't open with Firefox as my default browser, but will when I subsequently designate Internet Explorer as the default browser. However, when I select IE, I cannot open Firefox. How do I fix this? CharlieA

    When I designate Firefox as my default browser, I cannot open any destop link to any website, except Mozilla. When I change that designation to Internet Explorer, I can open all destop linked websites, except for Firefox. What do I do?

    Sometimes Windows gives you weird error messages when you click a link in another program or double-click a desktop shortcut. These messages usually occur only when Firefox was closed and has to be launched before the link can be loaded. Is that what you're getting? This occurs when Firefox's registry settings get crossed up, as described in this article: [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Windows_error_opening_Internet_shortcut_or_local_HTML_file_-_Firefox Windows error opening Internet shortcut or local HTML file - Firefox - MozillaZine Knowledge Base].
    If that isn't it, what happens exactly?

  • How do I UNSET Firefox as the default browser?

    When asked I set Firefox as the default browser. I would like to UNset this setting, but that option does not seem to be in the preferences. Where is that option hiding?

    You do that by setting another browser as the default browser and make sure that Firefox doesn't ask.
