My email links fail to open Firefox 11. They used to last week but IE updated and now links in my outlook emails do not open Firefox 11 even though it's my default browser. When I change to IE as the default the links open IE.

Your assumptions about my browser, operating system and others are correct.

VERY FRUSTRATING. HELP, Please

Hi,

Please also try this: Windows Control Panel > Default Programs > Associate a file type or protocol with a program > look for .url > Change program to Firefox.

edit: You have to restart Outlook or sometimes reboot the system for the change to take effect. Thanks AUnderhill.

I had done everything correct EXCEPT a re-boot. I should know that!!! Thanks for kicking me in the head and waking me up.
