I have recently started using Outlook with my Gmail account. I use Outlook at work, and am very comfortable with it. However, I don’t like it that my links open in IE rather than Firefox.

Solution:
1. Open a Windows Explorer folder
2. Select Tools and then Folder Options
3. Select the File Types tab
4. Select Extension: (NONE), File Type: URL:HyperText Transfer Protocol
5. Click Advanced toward the bottom of the window
6. In the Edit File Type window, select open and click Edit
7. Clear the check for DDE above the DDE message box (which should contain “%1″ or similar)
8. Click OK, Click OK
9. Repeat for File Type: HyperText Transfer Protocol with Privacy and FTP

Slightly modified from these instructions
