Well that sort of fixed my problem. Links in Tweetdeck open, but in Chrome not Firefox. I re-did it a couple of times. However it’s still better than nothing as I had before.

thanks,

To reinstall Firefox, just download the installer from http://www.mozilla.com and run it.

Hi Mike,

Did you make sure to close Firefox and re-open it after selecting the default web browser?

If that doesn’t help, you might want to try reinstalling Firefox, since that helped me when I originally had that problem.

HELP!

I have WINDOWS XP…

Okay so whenever I open a link in Tweetdeck, it always opens it in Internet Explorer. I want it to open in Firefox, which I’ve always use since IE started giving me problems.

What I’ve done to TRY to fix it is this:
Clicked “Start”
Clicked “Set Program Access and Defaults”
Clicked “Custom”
Under “Choose A Default Web Browser” the options were use my current web browser, IE, Firefox, and Netscape.
The option that was already chosen was Use my current Web browser.
So I clicked on Firefox.
I clicked OK.
I closed Tweetdeck and when I opened it and opened a link, it STILL WAS IE.

I have no idea what to do. It is very annoying.

Thanks…

This fix works with Mac OS X only until the next restart. And in the meantime, all your HTML docs turn into URLs and open in a browser, not Dreamweaver.

Adobe has a lot of work to do…
