As you may know, Microsoft discovered a "security hole" in MSN and is going to refuse anyone using an outdated version of MSN Messenger after October 15th. They've been pestering everyone using an older version of MSN every time they log in.
Unfortunately, third-party applications like Fire are treated as old versions of Messenger, and will also be blocked from MSN. It will take some time before the open-source folks figure out how to speak the new protocol, and Microsoft has been less than helpful. This is all documented in the FAQ on Fire's web site.
Existing users, log in. New users, create a free account. Lost password?
