Any way to make Party work with Firefox?

There are two main ways to call a browser from a program: give me the default browser or give me [name of browser].

Since Party doesn't require any IE-only features (and in fact has worked better on Firefox than IE with the scratch card promotion), which method do you think they used? [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

An update to Party's client is your only hope.

I agree that this is a complete PITA!
I just copy the url when IE opens, paste it into Firefox and close IE.
Takes a couple of seconds but still works.
It would be nice if it would just use the default browser though!

If I'm not mistaken, there should be a IE extension where you could choose what URL:s should open in Firefox instead. There's a similar one for Firefox (IE View), and I think I found out about the IE extension there somewhere. Google and pray!

Ok, I know you didn't mean this, but anyway...

I'm quite certain they use the Internet Explorer Control in their software (for HTML content, like the exit popup and the headlines in the lobby), so given that IE is needed to run Party, I guess they just chose to hard code it to use IE when opening URL:s.
