Thanks. I actually have SIM-IM installed, but I might as well not have
for all the good it does when I follow the links to start it up in
Yahoo.

This might, of course, be a Firefox question. It occurs to me that I
might need to tweak something in about:config, but I can't find
anything obvious there. In this case, of course, I'd have the same
problem with Kopete (thanks Iain),
