    Active desktop....

    I have made my own active desctop with all the bookmarks I am often using. I have set Firebird as the standard browser, but if I click on the active desktop links it is still started in IE. That didn't happen last time I had a setup like this. Anyone know how I can solve this?

    I take it you set a HTML page as your active desktop in order to access your links? If thats the case can't you change the HTML code to open the links in your other browser?

    Set Firebird to be the default web browser.

    If you go to start>run and type in 'www.google.com' and hit enter with firebird and IE closed, if IE opens, then IE is your default browser and you need to change that. If it opens in Firebird, yet the active desktop bookmarks do not, then I have absolutely no clue.
