The range of services offered by MSN has changed since its initial release in 1995. MSN was once a simple online service for Windows 95, an early experiment at interactive multimedia content on the Internet, and one of the most popular dial-up Internet service providers. MSN was primarily a popular Internet portal.
Microsoft used the MSN brand name to promote numerous popular web-based services in the late 1990s, most notably Hotmail and Microsoft Messenger service, before reorganizing many of them in 2005 under another brand name, Windows Live. MSN.com was the 17th most visited domain name on the Internet.
Firefox first added Bing as a search option in Firefox and later announced Firefox with Bing as a customized Firefox experience for Bing users.
Firefox released Firefox with MSN, a customized version of Firefox for MSN users. Firefox with MSN sets Bing as the default search engine in the search box and AwesomeBar, saves msnNOW in a convenient Firefox App Tab and makes MSN.com your default home page.
It also gives your Firefox an MSN theme and provides quick access links to popular MSN channels so you can easily get real time updates for news, entertainment, sports and the things that matter most to you.
You can get Firefox with MSN here. Existing Firefox users can get the custom experience by downloading the Firefox with MSN add-on.
Firefox has nearly 20 customized versions distributed by partners around the world including AOL, Bing, Twitter, Yahoo! and Yandex.
