Make Links From Emails Open With Firefox
I have set Firefox as the default web browser but links from within my emails still open in Internet Explorer. Does this sound familiar to you? I scoured the Internet tonight for a fix to this problem (as I do with most computer problems I have, because you can be sure if you have a problem, a million other people have had the same problem), and yes, here's the how-to on how to fix this.
From https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=246078:
Open Explorer
Select Tools and then Folder Options
Select the File Types tab
Select Extension: (NONE), File Type: URL:HyperText Transfer Protocol
Click Advanced toward the bottom of the window
In the Edit File Type window, select open and click Edit
Clear the check for DDE above the DDE message box (which should contain "%1" or similar)
Click OK, Click OK
Repeat for File Type: HyperText Transfer Protocol with Privacy and FTP
Now when you click the link in an email, Firefox will open as the default browser.
