When I click on a web link in an email I would prefer Firefox to open it - any idea how to do this?

presumably it's a file associations setting (assuming windows)

go to "help", type in "associations" and see what pops up (suppose it depends on yr version as to exactly how to do it)

It would just be what the default browser on the system is set to. I don't know how to change that on Mac, though.

edit - in fact, you can just set it in FF. it's somewhere in the settings options.

You have to set Firefox as the default browser. To do this open Safari > Preferences > General Tab > Select Firefox from the first drop down menu.

Firefox on OSX though? 😐
