    I use Netscape 7.2 Mail client. When I click on a link within an email body, it always opens in Netscape Browser, but I would prefer Firefox Browser, as many links do not work in Netscape. Is there any way to make this happen? I already have Firefox set as my default browser, but Netscape MAIL does not allow you to set another default browser that I can detect.
    Thanks,
    melonc

    Since Netscape mail is part of a suite which includes the browser, it is not possible to select another browser to open its mail. That's why the standalone Thunderbird is recommended for use in conjunction with Firefox.
    If a suite is desired, then the Netscape profile would be picked up when Seamonkey (up-to-date, and not vulnerable as Netscape7.x is) is installed, but, everything stays in the house with Seamonkey, as well. Do not use both Netscape and Seamonkey with the same profile.
