How do I set Default Browser?

I installed Chrome to give it a try and now when I set the default back to
Firefox via: Start/Properties/StartMenu/Customize/Internet Link/Mozilla
Firefox Chrome also pops up not Firefox.

When I click on a web link from Windows Mail or Start/Favorites, the
default web browser is still Chrome. How do I make my default browser
Firefox again (Which is still installed as I never removed it)?

Thanks

In FF, Tools,Options and under Advanced tab you can tick the box jus
below system defaults

In Firefox's Tools | Options, on the General tab, click on the "Check
now" button. Do the obvious.

FF = Firefox. You already have it since you talk about it in your
original question....

Thanks - I left out "Advanced" in my post advising what would have been
the same thing except for my error ...
