You might have to set the default browser manually
* In Windows XP, go to "Start -> Control Panel -> Add/Remove Programs -> Set Program Access and Defaults (on the left) -> Custom". After expanding the "Custom" category, you will see Internet Explorer and other installed browsers listed under "Choose a default Web browser". Select Mozilla or Mozilla Firefox.
If that doesn't work,
* In Windows Control Panel and if Windows XP is using the Control Panel "Classic View":
o Click on "Folder Options -> File Types".
* In Windows XP using the Control Panel "Category View":
o Click on "Performance and Maintenance". Then, click on "File Types" in the left column under the heading "See Also".
Assign the following filetypes to Mozilla or Firefox:
* URL:HyperText Transfer Protocol
* URL:HyperText Transfer Protocol with Privacy
* URL:File Transfer Protocol
* HTML File
* HTM File (optional)
Note that you may find the URL file types above under extension "N/A" or "(none)".
