According to Firefox setups, Firefox is set as my default browser.

However, apparently due to some XP Pro "updates", if Firefox is not
already open, clicking on a link springs forth IE v8 :-(

How do I stop that?

Thanks!

Seems to be only on ftp-style links, as in...

ftp://jjlarkin.lmi.net/R1.JPG

Maybe it's an ap-setting in Agent that I missed.

Could be... when I click the link, it gets opened with FF.


From Dave Turner, an old Primenet compatriot:

Agent has an option to switch ftp to use Firefox.

Tools-Options-URL and MIME Settings-URL Types

Use the down arrow on URL: to find ftp: File Transfer Protocol

Uncheck the box "Share settings with the http protocol"

Set "Use custom settings (below)"

Browse to C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe

It just worked for me.

Worked for me ;-)
