Hi,

Lately when I open a web link in Outlook 2003, the link is opened in both IE and Firefox!

Anyone know how to stop IE from opening? Everything used to work fine... maybe it started when I changed to Firefox 2?

And ideas?

Thanks,
Greg
 
Did both open quickly? Or was there a significant delay? What I've occasionally seen is that if firefox is the default, but takes too long to start up, outlook will try IE after it decides FF is not working.

Firefox startup can be affected by having a large cache (or having lots of extensions or possibly other factors). You might want to reduce the cache size.
 
I think you might be on to something...

If Firefox is open, then the link just opens in a new tap, and IE does not open.

I'll try your suggestions...
 
Just checked... Firefox always opens first... and both browsers open in about 1-2 seconds.

WTF :confused:
