I avoid MSN thus I may be speaking from my posterior here. That said MSN may have a preferences page somewhere with a setting allowing the change you seek. Otherwise I am not surprised in the least that a Microsoft product would only want to use a Microsoft product.
I'm pretty sure that you cannot change this option, you must load the 'New Email' Link into IE. This is why MSN requires IE before it installs (as well as other reasons).
The most simple way to get around it is to make a favourite in Firefox and open it whenever MSN says you have mail. Besides that, theres not too much you can do!
Sadly I'm almost certain you can't. I've looked around a lot for a way to do so myself and haven't had any success. It's odd, really, how I use Firefox for all of my web browsing except for checking one of my email accounts. It's not as if you can't log in to Hotmail (or any of its other names) with Firefox, just it refuses to let you do so when clicking on that little link in MSN Messenger.
Still, if anyone knows of a way then do share. 
That happened with me. My default browser was Firefox but still opened in IE. When I was looking for MSN add-ons I found Windows Live Mail. Now when I open my E-Mail inbox it opens in WLM.
Thing is that regardless of your default browser, Windows Live Messenger will still call upon Internet Explorer in order to open the link. This ensures that people will use Internet Explorer than Mozilla Firefox, Safari or Opera on their Windows machines.

There is no way to alter the links in Windows Live Messenger to open in Mozilla Firefox. You can still access Windows Live Mail by typing in http://mail.live.com/. If you are that lazy, add a bookmark to it on the Bookmarks Toolbar folder.
