Then my real question is how to make Firefox my default browser without
re-installing Firefox where I think, if I remember correctly, one is then
given a choice?
To make Firefox your default web browser, select Tools > OptionsEdit >
PreferencesFirefox > Preferences
and click the Check Now button in the General panel.
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? The question seems so
elementary that I should have the independence to get that information
myself.
Interesting question, Harold. It is saved as a FF web page. Any file with
the extension "htm" or "html" is seen by your computer as a web page. In
your case the icon shows as IE, because IE is currently your default
browser (Sometimes this gets screwed up when you change browsers). If you
set FF as your default browser, the icons will change, but there will be
no change in the file at all.
The larger point is that the icons are just a convenience. They show
which program will open a given file by default, but you can always use
the Right-click "Open with" option to open a file in another program, or
just open the program first, then navigate to the file in question. Many
long time Windows users have no idea of this concept, and I don't know
why. --- Hugh Vandervoort
