Change the default browser to open hyperlinks
Issue
I would like to know if it is possible to open a hyperlinks with Mozilla Firefox rather than Internet Explorer? Example: When I open my Windows Live mesenger inbox, it opens with IE. I want to open it with Mozilla Firefox.
Solution
To set Firefox as the default browser, you must:
- Go into the Windows Registry Editor (Start> Run ... and type regedit)
- Go to:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\http\shell\open\ddeexec\Application
- Right-click the name in the right pane > Edit.
- Change for Firefox.
