New Windows XP SP3 reload. I’ve re-installed most of my software, including FF, and also including a “collection” of older versions of IE, used for site development and testing.

But I can’t get Windows automatic updates to work because whatever I enter into ANY IE address bar gets opened in Firefox instead.

This behaviour is not observed in Opera or Safari or Chrome.
