Browser in Outlook 2007 window

[Jim S]

My default browser is Firefox.
I was playing with customising the Outlook toolbar and find that if I use
the search icon - BING opens in the outlook window and the links stay in
the window.
However, if I use the browser command, Firefox proper opens.
Is there a way of keeping the browser in Outlook?

You really should not use Outlook as an Internet Browser. Support for
displaying web pages is actually only meant for the Home Folder feature and
the Web Toolbar is mainly used for web references to Outlook folders. The
Web Toolbar has been removed from Outlook 2010 and developing new solutions
which rely on the Home Folders feature is discouraged and some support for
it has been marked as deprecated already.

If you want to browse the web; use a proper browser ;-)
