Mozilla problem with outlook

[cptsideways]

I loaded up Mozilla, found it really slow compared to IE so I don't use it.

That is until I click on a link in Outlook Express & it fires it up. Thats fine until I deleted Mozilla now it opens up a dialog box with cant find mozilla.

Any ideas how to repair the link back to IE??

I had loads of problems yesterday too!

Tried to kill off Firefox, as I am finding so many websites that dont cater for it and say IE only.

Couldnt get IE to work properly again. It does seem to have got slower too!

So ended up having to put Firefox back on

Mozilla is still set as the default application for opening web links it would seem.

In IE, go to Tools -> Internet Options -> Programs and check the 'Internet Explorer should check to see whether it is the default broswer' checkbox. Then close and restart IE - if it is not the default browser it will tell you and give you an option to make it the default browser.

I have to say though, I am an experienced IT professional and Firefox is vastly superior to IE in most circumstances. If you are finding IE faster then something is wrong with your Firefox installation more than likely.

Hope this helps.

There's a thread here about making Firefox go faster - works a treat ....

There is a plugin for Firefox that you can use to Launch IE with the current page you are viewing. This is useful for sites that don't work in Firefox - Right Click, "open this page in IE".

Even better, is to get Firefox to present itself as IE, after which the vast majority of such idiotic sites will work just fine.

That link will allow you to change what Firefox reports itself as to the site.
