Firefox has invaded my computer and taken over….
IDW asks: I downloaded Firefox 3 and installed it just as you recommended when I was having problems with Internet Explorer a few weeks ago. I like it very much, but a site I use absolutely requires Internet Explorer (don’t ask me why). Whenever I click the link for this site, it brings up Firefox which won’t work on it properly. I then have to go through a whole rigamarole of steps to get it to work. How can I open it with Internet Explorer?
My reply: There are 2 “quick fixes” you can do here. If you want to go back to using Internet Explorer just click the blue “E” in your start menu. Internet Explorer will open and claim it’s no longer your default browser and offer to reset itself as the default. You could say yes and go back to Internet Explorer exclusively.
Or if you don’t want to reset the default, just right-click (God key) the link you want to open in Internet Explorer and choose “Open With” then choose “Internet Explorer”. Again it will offer to make itself the default but in this case just say no. Now when you open other links they will open in Firefox and you’ll only have to do this procedure when you visit your “special link”. Hope this helps.
