When I select a hyperlink in Mac Mail the courser changes shape but will not open in Firefox, my default browser. I have used Mail with Firefox for a couple of years & it worked fine, until now. I can change the default to Safari & it works fine with Safari. Also periodically Firefox hangs up & I have to force close it. That started to happen only recently too.

The operating system has to have information about what the default browser is in order to open a link in a browser.
