Bug Description
Binary package hint: pidgin
When I try to open a link from a conversation window, it opens in Opera (as it should), but when I pick "Open Hotmail Inbox" from the Accounts submenu, it opens in Firefox, so it seems that the option is hard-coded.

Thank you for reporting this issue and trying to make Ubuntu better.
Just so I am clear, have you changed the default browser under: Tools -> Preferences -> Network -> Configure Browser and it still opens firefox when checking your hotmail under the accounts submenu?
Thanks,
Richard Seguin
