PCWorks: Saving Firefox as Firefox webpage

Hi Harold,

Your first message came through.

Glad you got it worked out.  Sorry for the confusion about
where the
extension settings are.  I don't have Firefox 1.5 installed
anywhere
anymore.  You really should upgrade to version 2.  The only
problem you
would have is if one of your extensions doesn't work in
version 2 and there
are ways around that. Most of the most popular extensions
have been updated.
At least the ones I use have.

To make Firefox your default browser, look in the options
for a check box
that says check to see if Firefox is the default browser. In
version 2 it's
on the main options tab.  I don't know about 1.5.  You might
also want to go
into Internet Explorer and uncheck the box that has IE check
to see if it is
the default browser which is on the programs page in
internet options.

Then my real question is how to make Firefox my default
browser without 
re-installing Firefox where I think, if I remember
correctly, one is then 
given a choice?

I know I've seen this answered somewhere before so another
question would 
be: Without bringing it up in a forum such as PCWorks, where
on the internet

or in "help" would I find this information? The
question seems so elementary

that I should have the independence to get that information
myself.
