Hi Harold, Your first message came through.
Glad you got it worked out. Sorry for the confusion about where the extension settings are. I don't have Firefox 1.5 installed anywhere anymore. You really should upgrade to version 2. The only problem you would have is if one of your extensions doesn't work in version 2 and there are ways around that. Most of the most popular extensions have been updated. At least the ones I use have. To make Firefox your default browser, look in the options for a check box that says check to see if Firefox is the default browser. In version 2 it's on the main options tab. I don't know about 1.5. You might also want to go into Internet Explorer and uncheck the box that has IE check to see if it is the default browser which is on the programs page in internet options.

I know I've seen this answered somewhere before so another question would be: Without bringing it up in a forum such as PCWorks, where on the internet or in "help" would I find this information?
