Q. I use Internet Explorer most of the time. I installed Firefox for a couple of things I wanted to do on it. I relied NO when Firefox asked if it should be my default browser. IE did not notify me that is was not my default browser. However, whenever when I click on a Hot Link, Firefox comes up as the browser. I remember reading somewhere how to get IE back as my default browser. Any help appreciated.
