Open Links in Users Default Browser

Post by Crazy »

When I click on a link someone has sent me, it loads up in Internet Explorer when Firefox is my default browser. I'm not positive if this is a middle_man or AIM issue, but if middle_man could override AIM's execution of that stupid feature that'd be awesome.

Sounds like your settings are messed up on your end.

AIM launches Firefox just fine for me.

check your Program Access and Defaults. if it's not at the top of your All Programs list (in the start menu), it should be on the left side of the Add/Remove Programs

I'm on Vista. 32-bit, home edition but, really I don't get the problem. I manually set Firefox as the default browser but it just doesn't listen.
