I couldn’t get it to launch at all in Firefox.

Might need to disable the pop-up blocker. Works fine in Firefox for Windows.

UPDATE
I tried these registry settings (gateway.messenger.hotmail.com:80) from home, and Messenger could not longer connect at all! Can someone confirm that they are using these settings and are able to connect?

I tried the original ones in my post and they worked perfectly (post that started the thread) at first.

I then noticed that it became flaky after a couple of days, not sure whether the gateway server sometimes works and sometimes doesn’t, I know for certain our firewall rules haven’t changed.

Will try your reg setting from work tomorrow.

Hmm… am still finding elements of using the gateway.messenger.hotmail.com:80 fix intermittent – it seems to disappear for a few days then come back for a while… sporadic.
