I dont use Internet Explorer as I think its poo so switched to Firefox, but when I click on a link to another website, occasionally IE decides to open

I dont want this to happen so is there an idiots way of stopping it????

I run both and have never had this problem. I'm wondering if setting FireFox as your default browser would help if it isn't already?

If it isn't you can make it so. In FireFox go to Tools> Options> "Main" tab and at the bottom you'll see System Defaults. Check the box "always check to see if FireFox is the default browser on start up" then click on the "Check Now" button. If it says that Firefox is not the default browser make it so.

Hope this helps and since your not really using I.E. any more it can't hurt.
