new messenger opens links in EDGE instead of default browser.

I don't know why they did this update like this. This is so dumb right here. I don't like it. I like it when it was with Google Chrome. I cannot see any of my messages. And, the only way that I can see all my full messages. Is, if I go to the Web Version of the Messenger App. Which is through Facebook and that is the dumb part right there. So, I guess there is no point in using Messenger on PC. Cause, it is not on Chrome anymore. it is on Microsoft Edge. And, that is the dumbest thing Meta could do ever. This is my personal opinion.

Apparently that's only for Chrome - in Firefox, I don't see any icon like what you described.

A workaround for this is to 'Install Facebook' through the Chrome browser. In Chrome, navigate to https://www.facebook.com/messages/ and in the URL bar on the right-hand side there will be an icon of a screen with a downward facing arrow. Hover over that icon and it should say 'Install Facebook'.

This will install Messenger as a Google Chrome app and allow you to open links in Chrome instead of being forced to use Edge given the recent changes.

Thank you for your service, this worked perfectly for me.

Solution that worked for me was uninstalling messenger and installing it again, but not updating it. The old version works fine. I also uninstalled edge.
