I have this wierd problem... everything opens in FF and I am trying to find out how to stop it from doing that. If I open IE and type in a new web address, the site will open in firefox and IE goes nowhere and even if a click on a link in IE that has a target _blank, it will open a new blank IE and then open the site in a new FF window too.

Any ideas?  Huh

FF is my default, but that shouldn't stop me from using IE.

It sounds like a virus to me.

Maybe run some antivirus software, or try to uninstall firefox and install it again

Then you should uninstall it.

Or try something like a registry cleaner.

Ayway this seems like an os prob not firefox's itself.

You can allways use the 'format' solution. It is the best after all Smiley

no i would suggest what nikolas said earlier about uninstall/reinstall Firefox, formatting isnt worth the trouble for such a small prob, and i very seriously doubt this is virus or spyware.. this sounds more like a software misconfiguration problem to me

It seems that Microsoft chooses the bugs to release very carefully.....
