Hi, I can't figure out how to get Firefox to be the browser that opens the links in my email client, Outlook Express. Internet Explorer used to be until my son monkeyed with it. Now, Opera opens them, no matter how much I work with "Set Program Access and Default" settings on the Start menu. I'd really prefer Opera not open email links and could live with IE opening them but would really prefer Firefox be the default. Can anyone help me? I'd really appreciate it. Thanks a lot, Alegria

Uninstall FireFox, then reinstall it and make sure you set it to be the default browser when asked. That may work.

Hi Try go to options in Firefox, click preferences. Select the advanced panel and then the general tab. At bottom where it says "system defaults", place a checkmark if missing, then click "check now". when done, select the main panel, same procedure as above. Close Firefox and restart it. It should now be system default. Regards
