I'm having a problem getting .URL files (the desktop shortcuts that are web addresses) to associate to Firefox. I used to use Opera, and removed it, however the icon still bears the Opera logo and when I double click it a white page loads in Firefox with the some tags (like [URL] if I remember right) and the address of the site I'm trying to access.
Is there anyway to get it 100% associated with Firefox? I tried making Firefox the default brower by using the option within Firefox itself, and by right-clicking the icon and choosing OPEN WITH and choosing Firefox (also setting the Always Use This Program To Open option).
