When I visit project web sites via BOINC Manager, on this computer, they open in IE7. FF is my default, and on my other computers, the sites open in FF. I looked for help with how to fix this, I could not find any settings etc. The problem caused is the build up of temp internet files and cookies. Can I get some advice as to how to get this fixed? Thanks, >>RSM http://sciencesprings.wordpress.com http://facebook.com/sciencesprings |

Make sure that Firefox IS the default browser in the OS, this FAQ shows how. |

O/S is Vista. Jord, thanks, the button showed as "Use Current Browser", I clicked Mozilla Firefox and that immediately did the trick. It is strange because FF is and has been my default, and everything else, like links in email, always launched FF, especially noticeable if I do not have any browser open. So, again, thanks for the help. I am going to check my three other computers to be sure everything is correct. It is a pain in the neck to have to go into IE just to get rid of the build-up of trash. >>RSM http://sciencesprings.wordpress.com http://facebook.com/sciencesprings |
