When I click on link in AIM or Mailwasher I get a error message that pops up saying it "cannot find an application to handle the protocol "http" of the hyperlink you selected." But the problem is, it DOES open Firefox (my default browser).
I googled that error message and found a site that told me to run RegClean. I did but I still received that error. It also said that if RegClean did not clean it, then to run this script as a .reg file:

I do that and I no longer get that error message. But that registry entry makes IE my default browser. I tried editing that to work with Firefox to no avail. Maybe someone who knows a little more about registry entries can edit that to work with Firefox?
Thanks!
