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!

Control panel - Add/remove programs - Set Program Access and defaults:
Set your choices here.

Not applicable to IE but necessary for other programs:
Internet explorer - Internet Options - programs tab - set your default
programs here.
