I have noticed that the last 48 hrs (since update to 2.0.0.12?) that I cannot
open any links in Thunderbird, Outlook or RecentX. All apps report
Application not found.

I have checked the default programs in Vista an Firefox is NOT their
anywhere. IE and Thunderbird are but no FF.

Any ideas?

Jeff

Tnx for the suggestion - I had done this already and it indicates FF is set
as the default program. However, links still do not work and FF does not show
in list of default apps.
