    You could try going to uninstall programs, windows components and unchecking Internet Explorer 8. That may do it for ya.

    Ok what kind of email are you opening (what is the extension for the file) like test.eml. If you have set FF as the default browser and checked the check every time box in FF it may be that the type of file you are opening is still set to IE.

    Hope this helps

    Firefox is not an e-mail reader. That's what Thunderbird is for. Made by the same people who brought you Firefox.

    Absolutely correct firefox and IE aren't email readers but if thats what he asked for.

    I hate windows live mail so I run thunderbird but we should ask him what he wants us to help him with, dont you think?

    I think it's better to help him find the right tool for the job.

    but if he really wants to use Firefox, we'll need more info that you asked for.
