CsrLiz344 Posted February 16, 2009 Report Share Posted February 16, 2009 I keep setting Firefox as my default browser, but everytime I click on a link in OE, it comes up IE. How can I get it to go away, and not open up, short of removing it????? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pete_C Posted February 16, 2009 Report Share Posted February 16, 2009 Just as when you use thunderbird or Mozilla mail when you click a link it will open firefox (if installed) or Mozilla as appropriate even if IE is set as default browser.First try the approaches listed herehttp://kb.mozillazine.org/Integrating_Fire...Outlook_ExpressIf that does not work try thishttp://email.about.com/od/outlooktips/qt/e..._links.htm?rd=1Note that Zone Alarm will cause your problem (inablity to get OE to open links in Firefox ) . Do you have Zone Alarm???More info on setting browser herehttp://kb.mozillazine.org/Default_browserMight check this http://www.pc-tools.net/win32/setbrowser/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CsrLiz344 Posted February 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2009 Love your dogs, they're gorgeous. Anyway, thanks for the reply-it works for now, we shall see if it stays that way. I used to have FF as default, don't know what changed it. No, I don't have Zone Alarm, I traded it in for Comodo, which I like alot better. Thanks again... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pete_C Posted February 16, 2009 Report Share Posted February 16, 2009 Possibly commodo did the same thing. Or maybe it was an update and things changed enough the it did not recognize firefox as the same application as it was a few days ago. It happens. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
