Is it possible to make it use Firefox rather than IE when I go to my eMail inbox. Not a major thing, but it's annoying having to view popups etc.

Cheers.

    What's the system default?

    Tried replacing the IE executable (if you can find/isolate it) with one for a proper browser?

    I had a patch at some point, that allowed you to use firefox, it didnt always load correctly though. I cant remember what it's called, but the proggy I d'led was for the purpose of having a larger display picture, so maybe if you google that, you'll find the patch? It wasnt msn plus, but it had the same sort of backing. ( fancy site, loads of different tools etc)

    No you didn't, you lie, exaggerate and bullsh<s></s>it you way through life to try and feed your ego, which quite frankly is the size of a deflated cum catcher on the end of a midgets condom.

    FF is the default. To check just go to: Start> Set program access and defaults.

    cheers Euan, when i clicked on "microsoft windows" it said web browser: internet explorer. then i clicked on custom and it said choose a default web browser. and its on use my current web browser, so fu<u></u>ck knows what that means, oh well, i dont think it is possible, will just have to let it be annoying

    Yeah, I can't seem to select FF, just "use my current browser". If you set FF to always check to see if it is the default, I think that makes it the default.
