I got it figured out. I went to the "set program access and defaults" program on my pc. There I was able to set Mozilla as my default browser and it Worked

I have Windows 7 and I use Outlook as my e-mail handler and service from Century Link (Formerly Qwest). I have the latest update of Firefox and I set Firefox to be my default program for viewing .htm , .html, etc., etc. in Windows 7 but links in e-mails or e-mail web sites (Newsmax, Best Buy, Townhall, etc., etc.) still won't open with Firefox set as my default browser. Links only open with IE set as default browser. No solution to this problem yet. With XP on my other two computers everything works fine with Firefox as default browser.
