Links in Continuum open in Internet Explorer

[Ewan]

Well, I'd like it so that links I click in Continuum open in Firefox instead.

I've triple checked, and Firefox is definitely my default browser.
I swear they always used to open in Firefox. It's either a Vista thing or I am just being stupid.

[kthx]

pretty sure you just need to set firefox as your primary Explorer under options.. cause generally you probaly just double click on firefox...

you have to train your computer, everytime it opens in IE and not Firefox, just slap the shit out of it.. it'll learn in about a week.

Try

Control Panel|Add/Remove Programs|Set Program Access and Defaults|Custom

Ewan, try Tweakui - it has some browser settings.

The fact that it's in XP Powertoys suggests it's not really for use with Vista

I found the equivalent in Vista, and it's set as Internet -> Firefox. One thing I noticed was that .url (an "Internet Shortcut") was set to open in I.E., but changing this proved fruitless.

Was IE set as your default browser when you installed SS?


MS says:

But Netscape says, "Microsoft has designed the User Account Control (UAC) to work so perfectly that it will be difficult for the average person to switch the default browser."

Well, today it's just started working.

How odd, thanks for your help.
