I recall this happening when I tried the IE7 beta and could not get it to
work...I uninstalled IE7 and went back to IE6 and FF links in OE worked
properly again.

Yes it is an Outlook question, as well as a Windows Mail question (which
is part of the OS). I have done all of your suggestions. Even if I choose
Firefox, it reverts back to using IE. IF I choose Non-Microsoft, it
reverts back, under Custom, I choose Firefox, it reverts back to "Use my
current web browser". Even if I go to setting defaults programs un
"Protocols" for HTTP and HTTPS, it only has IE in the list.

This really isn't an outlook question - it's controlled by the OS.
Anyway, what is the setting in the default programs applet in control
panel - look under the set access options.

Hi,

Is there a way to open link from within Vista Mail and Outlook messages
in Firefox instead of IE7? I have FF already set as my default browser,
but Mail and Outlook still open links in IE. Is ther a reg hack for this
if I need to go that route?

Thanks,
Tom

If I might just put a word in here. I am using Firefox and Outlook 2007 and
haven't had a problem. I'm on XP though. oops.

I have the same problem with FF.
I've also noticed this with multimedia extensions.
When I install WinAmp I told it to associate all multimedia files to
open with winamp.
It still opens with Media PLayer.

Something smells fishy to me.
