When I click on a link from my emails it opens automatically through firefox. I want to disable this feature as I would like to go back to Chrome. I don't want to uninstall Firefox all together but I don't want it to be my main browser either. Thank you

The only way to have such links not open Firefox is to set another browser the default browser.

That MozillaZine Knowledge Base article shows how to set another browser like IE as the default browser.

Make another browser the default browser.

Thank you for the link to that info but it doesn't state where to go to disable Firefox as my default browser. In following the instructions through the link it just tells me that Firefox IS my default browser but now how to disable it as my default browser.
