My default browser used to be Internet Explorer. I use Outlook Express for my emails. My OS is Windows XP.

A few days ago, I changed my default browser to Firefox.

This morning I received an email with a link to a web page which came up in Internet Explorer, even though my default browser is now Firefox.

I would like the links to web pages provided in my emails to come up with Firefox instead of Internet Explorer which, I understand, can't be uninstalled since it is intertwined somehow with my Windows XP operating system.

Thanks for any help you can supply.
