Just wondering if anyone might know why this is happening and how I can remedy it...

every time I do anything which will tr to open a browser to go to (an embedded) link (ie: click on project name in BOINC manager), "Frontpage" opens instead of browser.

Same happens if I click on a link in an email etc.

VERY annoying - any and all help greatly appreciated - thanks in advance .

Wprked a treat !
I just opened (from Start) "Default programs" , then "set your default programs", , then clicked on firefox , then clicked on "Set this program as default" and ALSO then clicked on the "choose defaults for this program".... the boxes were already checked in this option though so I didn't have to do anything.

went to an email with a link and it worked.

"Frontpage" wasn't even listed in the programs, so I dont know why it was doing that ...

THANK YOU Mick L ! +1   :cheers:
