Been using Firefox for yonks (with XP-pro-SP3). Just now after latest update to 13.0.1, when I click a weblink in an email (for which I use the Outlook Express), nothing happens. (I already have numerous Firefox pages open, I tend to not close them.) Can open the link only by copying it and then opening a new Firefox window from scratch.

Thanks that's fixed it. For some reason (or none) FF had ceased to be set as default browser, in fact somehow it seems there was no default browser! Thanks again for your quick and easy solution!
