Please do the following.

  1. Start Internet Explorer and then click Tools, then Internet Preferences.

  2. Click the Programs tab and then remove the checkmark from "Tell me if Internet Explorer is not the default browser".

  3. Click Apply/OK and then close Internet Explorer.

  4. Next, start Firefox, then click the orange Firefox button and go to Options | Options | Advanced.

  5. In the General tab, checkmark the option "Always check to see if Firefox is the default browser on startup" and then click the "Check Now" button.

  6. Click OK and then close Firefox.

  7. Finally, open Outlook Express, find an email with a link in it and it should launch in Firefox.
