I was wrong on that.

I had to tell my email program what browser to open when clicking a url.
Picking a Windows default browser does not do the entire job.

Only setting a different default browser is supposed to do it except for
programs such as Windows Update and such or links that are hard coded
for IE. I don't do email in Windows and my wife only uses web email
providers. So that's not a problem. I have never had to tell an email
program in any version of Windows or Linux which browser to use as
they're already setup to use the default browser.
As I stated earlier I removed all preferences of files/folders to use IE
and changed them to use Firefox. If you can't do it the way Microsoft
says you can and you do it the way Microsoft says why do all IE
icons/shortcuts change to Firefox icons/shortcuts when you do?
And if it's a bad idea to do so, because it will break something else in
Windows, why would Microsoft put that capability in Windows and tell you
how to do it?
