new messenger opens links in EDGE instead of default browser.

This new FB desktop messenger is awful. Cant receive calls from phones, cant see missed calls in chat box, sometimes messages are missing , it terrible. Take this off microsoft edge.

Right click on the link, copy it and paste into Chrome as a workaround. I hate Edge and Meta with a passion. If it weren't for Marketplace, I'd delete the app for good.

that doesnt work, cuz when you open the previous version, a small window pops up telling you to update. wont disappear until you update, plus thats a dead link you posted

Our families use Messenger for daily updates. I now cannot easily read the messages or view pics etc on my PC. Brilliant on Chrome absolutely useless in edge. I have tried the methods suggested but none work.. It is ridiculous that I can read easily the messenger popup in Facebook but not in Messenger itself. Any suggestions for a good alternative? My patience is fast running out.

Agree. I feel deeply disrespected by both Microsoft and Meta for putting their corporate interests as a roadblock to the way I keep in touch with my friends who haven't moved on to better services. This update is inconvenient and unnecessary, and I am going to advocate for migrating all my groups away Meta platforms if this is how we are going to be treated.
