I have Microsoft Outlook for email and it uses Internet Explorer. Whenever I click on an email link, my computer freezes as it's trying to open with Internet Explorer. How can I reconfigure my email to open with Firefox?
When I click on an email link to take me to a website, my whole computer freezes. When I look at my "task manager", it shows that Internet Explorer is running. When I click "end task" I get a terrible warning that says terminating this task may cause fatal system errors - yikes!!
I'm thinking the problem is Microsoft Outlook is opening with Internet Explorer, not Firefox. How can I configure Outlook to open with Firefox?

I have Microsoft Outlook also with Firefox and can open just about every link, url, company page, etc via the email links. First, make sure you have noted the email as NOT JUNK so that the links are activated by Outlook. Second, Firefox needs to your default browser for the links to open in Firefox rather than IE. There are some links from Microsoft that may ignore the default and open in IE but not all anymore. I have a Sony laptop which ignores the default browser and opens all of its support information from its VAIO software loaded on the computer in IE. Besides that though, over 95% of my items will open in my default brwser selection, which is currently Firefox.
Go to this link to make sure Firefox is your default browser.
Or this link to make any browswer of your choice the default.
