When I click on a link in Outlook Express, MS IE is used automatically to
open the link. Can this default be changed so that Firefox is used to open
the link?

When you start Firefox, it should ask you if you want to set it to be your
default browser. I don't use it, but if it doesn't, you'll probably just
have to look in the help file to figure out how to make it the default.

As for the Windows side of things, in your Control Panel, go into the
Add/Remove programs tool. On the left side, you'll see an option at the
bottom to Set Program Access and Defaults (you can usually find this on the
Start menu as well).

If you choose and expand the Custom tab, you can set which programs (like
Firefox or IE) are used by default.

Hope that helps,
Matt

In Firefox, choose Tools|Options. Click the "General" icon at the top
left of the dialog. Check the "Default browser" box on the right side,
click "Check now".

Here is the answer for you from Juno's website. It is below.


In Juno 5.0, can I use my own browser instead of Juno's Web browser?

If you prefer, you can surf the Web with another browser instead of
Juno's Web browser in the Web screen. After you connect to the Web
through Juno, just open your other browser. This browser will use your
Juno connection. You can also specify which browser Juno should use when
you click links in messages or in ads.

To set the browser that opens links:

1. Go to the Options menu and select Web Preferences.
2. The Juno Web Preferences screen will appear. Under Web Browser
Settings, select the Open links in messages with Juno's Web browser
check box to use Juno's Web browser. To use the browser you have set as
your default browser, clear this check box.
3. Click OK.
