Firefox opens explorer links.

I tried to find the button to shut this off but I can't. The problem is that when I am in explorer and click on any links they open up in firefox. Even in messenger when I click on mail it opens firefox instead of explorer. And so msn takes me to a different page then what it usually does and pisses me off. Also like when I want to do windows update it opens up in firefox so it does not work. I like firefox and use it for almost everything but there is just some thing explorer can do that firefox can't, ie: like update windows. So how do I get it to work like it is suppose to?

Ok where is the button to do that?

Hey there that little button. I was looking in that popup box forever but seem to have missed it everytime. The only problem is it didn't work. Firefox asked me to be the default browser and everything and i clicked no. But when I went into explorer and typed in goggle "tomshardware" and clicked the link it opened up in firefox. Same does Windows update. I checked to make sure the think was still checked and yes it is. Whats is wrong?

This might be a temporary work around for Firefox, but you can give it a try. There is an extension for Firefox called IE Tab. This will switch your rendering engine to IE. You can even tell it to always display some pages using internet explorer ie windows update. This doesn't fix you problem, but it is a way to make it a little less annoying.

Firefox IE Tab add-on

yeah if you get tired of that workaround try uninstalling firefox for a day and see if IE is working ok, then try putting firefox back

You could also try reinstalling IE 6... i hear there may be some minor issues with IE 7 and FF 2
