How to Make Yahoo Messenger Use Firefox as Default Browser in Vista

It was really bothering me that although I had Firefox set as my default web browser in Windows Vista, links from Yahoo! Messenger (such as "view user profile...") were still being opened by Internet Explorer. I did some searching and found the solution, but I also found a lot of bad information, so I thought I'd share the correct method here:
  1. Click the Start menu
  2. Click Default Programs
  3. Click “Set program access and computer deaults”
  4. Select Custom then click on the drop arrow
  5. Look for “Choose a default web browser” and select Mozilla Firefox
  6. Click OK
