I got Mozilla a while back and its working fine..The only problem is that Ive set it to my default browser tons of times...But it just wont do that. Every time I sign on the internet I have to close my IE then go clicky the Mozilla icon. And when people send me links, instead of opening in Mozilla..it opens in IE.
Is it normally like that? Could it be doing that cause I have dial up?
I mean..its not a major problem...but its just so darn annoying! Can anyone help me, please?

If I were at your computer I could probably troubleshoot it and fix it but I'm not at your computer so here are a few suggestions that I hope will help:
Download the latest version of Firefox or the Mozilla suite, whichever one you use and try setting it to your default again. Firefox just released 2.0 recently. It's pretty snazzy. This update doesn't come through FF's auto updates. You have to manually download it.
If that doesn't work, try doing this: Right click on Internet Explorer on your desktop and choose Properties. This brings up the Internet Properties dialog box. Select the Programs tab. Then uncheck the box next to:
It could be that IE keeps overriding your preferred web browser setting. Unchecking that box should fix it. You may have to restart your computer for that change to take effect.
