When I click on a link outside of firefox it brings up IE, i know this has been discussed before but I've searched the forums and couldn't find it, I believe there is a code I can use to make it stop doing this, what is it?

IE keeps 3 defaults that cannot be changed one or them is .url which I believe is when you open a site outside of FF.

I am positive there is a code you can use to make firefox be the default for everything, when I am using AIM and someone sends me a link and i click on it it takes me to IE, it's not supposed to do that.

I found this...not sure if it works in vista

Force Firefox to make itself the default

If Firefox already thinks that it is default, exit Firefox completely, go to "Start Menu -> Run" and enter this into the text box:

firefox.exe -silent -nosplash -setDefaultBrowser

http://kb.mozillazin...Default_Browser


OR...got to default programs, got to associate a file type or protocol with a program, scroll all the way down to the file extensions you want firefox to have. in this case .url...select it and click change program. select firefox, done. I think that should work.

Yes that was the code I needed.

[superstrikertwo]

Or just do Start > Default Programs > Set Default Programs > Firefox > Choose Defaults for this Program > make sure all boxes are checked > Click Save

Yeah, that doesn't work.
