1343567	2013-05-27 00:38:00	I have been having a problem for the last 10 days with the links in emails not working when I click on them. If the link is a web site it works when I manually enter it into the address bar of Firefox. If the link is "Click here for..." nothing happens. Perhaps something should be ticked or unticked? Or could it be an ISP fault? Can anyone help? Windows XP; Firefox; Outlook Express 6.	IanS (924)

You can only have one default browser, so make sure Internet Explorer is set to *not* be the default browser. ===================== For Firefox: Tools ... Options ... Advanced ... "Always check that Firefox is the default browser" ===================== Internet Explorer Tools ... Internet options ... Programs unselect "Tell me if Internet Explorer is not the default browser"	kingdragonfly (309)

I do not know what caused this problem, it has only occured during the last 7 to 10 days when we have had lightning and several power outages when the computer has been switched on. Maybe the power outages ??	IanS (924)
