When I installed FF 6, I accidentally clicked the "make default browser" button. I don't want it to be default for all my apps. I have some school related apps that need to run on IE. What do I need to do to un-make FF my default browser.

Ideato, thanks for the reply. I apologize but I should have mentioned I'm using Windows XP. Does that make a difference because I did not see the tabs you mentioned. Thanks.
