Making Yahoo! Messenger Open In Your Favorite Browser

February 2, 2008 – 9:41 am

If you remember, my computer needed a format in November, 2007 and then another one just last week. In November, I was scratching my head on how to make Yahoo! Messenger in my preferred browser, Maxthon. It kept opening all links from my Y! M in FireFox instead.

Anyway, I gave up and decided to just let things be. Naturally, I did not check my Yahoo! email account as often as I would like to, since FireFox always opens a new link in the active tab, which I hate. If open in a new tab is all right lah.

So last week, I had the chance to try making my Yahoo! Messenger links open in Maxthon, and I was in a hurry to get my FireFox running first and only get to install Maxthon later.

I soon found out that if you want your Yahoo! Messenger links to open from a particular browser, install that browser last. No matter that Yahoo! Messenger supposedly uses Internet Explorer but in practical, it will open by default in the last browser that you have installed and there is no settings to change it.

Try this and let me know if it works for you!
