Hello,

I don't know what I did, but now if I click a link on a program on my PC it opens in Internet explorer instead of Firefox, How can i fix that? and open all links in Firefox only?

Thanks.

Under Start/Default Programs/Make a file type always open in a specific program
or
Control Panel\Programs\Default Programs\Set Associations

It's so weird Firefox is not there either. What to do?

Firefox looks a bit weird for you? a different Version? what is it? I liked the logo.

In Firefox, Tools/Options/Advanced/General/System Defaults, "Always check...": This may work for you. (Sometimes one has for force Windows itself to recognize FF as the default browser.)

It's not a different version, I just used Ressource Hacker to patch the EXE with a different icon (I did that to all the applications I have pinned to give it some kind of consistency at least color wise..I it used to look like a "circus theme" all different colors :D :D
