Firefox and Outlook Express question

[Mog]

After much toing and froing I decided to turf Explorer and go with Firefox, which is so far going well. But what I wanted to know was how I can set up links in Outlook emails to open in a Firefox browser window instead of an IE one.

Anybody know how to change this?

Never mind, all sorted now.

I get TWO Firefox windows opening when I click a link in Outlook 2003. Anyone know why?

i belive what CritterNYC wrote works

1. Open Explorer
2. Select Tools and then Folder Options
3. Select the File Types tab
4. Select Extension: (NONE), File Type: HyperText Transfer Protocol
5. Click Advanced toward the bottom of the window
6. In the Edit File Type window, select open and click Edit
7. Clear the DDE message box (which should contain "%1")
8. Click OK, Click OK
9. Repeat for File Type: HyperText Transfer Protocol with Privacy

Yea Explorer is really getting quite stupid now. Very basic type browser.

I have used Firefox for about 5 months.. very good program. Tabs make it a lot easier.
