IE8 transfers to firefox

murrayja · Feb 21, 2012

I normally use Firefox but I have to fix a web site that requires IE. I installed IE8 and now when running IE8 I put in a URL and hit 'go' Firefox starts up and I see the site in Firefox. I can't find anywhere in Firefox options how to turn off default browser.

Help!!!
