OE Opens Instead of FF

maisoui · 12-15-2005, 08:48 AM

I'm not sure where this question belongs, so I'll start here and hope for guidance! My email program is Incredimail and my browser is Firefox, however, whenever I click a link in an email, it automatically opens Outlook Express now instead of FireFox (which it used to do). Can anyone tell me where to go to correct this? I have the feeling there may be a simple answer, but I cannot seem to see the forest for the trees!

Thanks.

In Firefox click tools>options>general,where it says default browser,click check now,and it'll ask you to set Firefox as your default browser.You can also tick the box to check when it starts each time,and if it switches again,it'll let you know.

Thanks peterdiva. Since Firefox had been set as my default browser, I didn't even think to check that option again. I should have known!! Oh well, situations like this will keep me humble. Thanks again.
