Thunderbird/IE permissions
June 16, 2005 ( geek )
Just because I couldn't find this through a Google search -- OK, so, I had to uninstall and clear out Firefox a while back due to some bad extension juju or something, and after that, no matter how I played with Microsoft's "Program Access and Defaults," even to the point of "disabling access" to IE (which does nothing of the sort), anytime I clicked on a link in Thunderbird or a few other programs, it'd pop open IE, not Firefox. GAH.
The solution to this is to mnake sure Firefox is checking to see if it's default on start, close it down, use Program Access to set the default browser to IE (with Firefox, IE, and Thunderbird and other apps with the same problem all closed), then open Firefox and let it reset its permissions.
Thanks, MS, for providing a tool that in the name of fair play, increases your hegemony. Good job. You get no cookies.
