Default Browser with URL's

How do I change WLM so that it uses my default browser (Firefox) when I
click on a URL embedded in an email?
Thanks,
Bill

You need to change your default browser from within the FF. I suggest
read this article first:

<http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/How%20to%20make%20Firefox%20the%20default%20browse r>

When you have done this, you will need to close the browser (I am
assuming your WLM was already closed when you were doing these changes)
and sometimes you also need to log-off from the account (NOT SHUTDOWN).

Try these steps and if the problem is still there, then post back here.

WLM 'DOES' use the default browser. Check your default programs by clicking
Start/Control Panel/Default Programs/Set program access and computer
defaults.

Another Win 7 nuance...............who would have guessed!

It's really quite similar to what XP and Vista have. I actually have
'Default Programs' on my Start Menus (with XP and Win7), but I couldn't
remember if I may have put them there - That's why I sent you through
Control Panel.

'Default programs' is a customizable option (check box) to show on the
Start Menu (Vista, Win7).
