How can you open an embedded URL in a different browser from the default?

IE is my default browser. Sometimes I want to open URLs in emails or embedded in Word or PDFs in Firefox. How can I do this without copying and pasting the new link in Firefox?How can you open an embedded URL in a different browser from the default?

That's not possible unless you make Firefox your default browser.
Hi There,

The answer is simple. Just change your default browser to Firefox.

IE will still 'work' for updates, etc and of course you can click on it to open Firefox.

In some cases you can right click and select ';open with'; and choose Firefox if you do not want Firefox to be your default.



Hope this helps,

Al
