Comment:

All of a sudden when i drag a link from firefox to the desktop the links open locally (ie it opens
as "file:///C:/Users/[username]/Desktop/Google.URL" in the address bar instead of actually going to www.google.com.
If i make internet explorer the default browser and create links they open fine, when i switch back to firefox they open locally again. Apparently MS doesnt want me to use firefox...
