How can I make Outlook use Firefox instead of Internet Explorer and can I turn IE off without hurting anything else on my machine?

I would like to use Firefox for Outlook Express. I can't find an option in Outlook or Firefox to make Firefox the default to access the web for email through the mail client.
Also, is there a way to stop IE so that it isn't used at all by any program in my machine?
Thanks

Matt,
I've tried that. When I go to outlook express, then to tools, options, then connections tab, it says "Outlook shares your connections with Internet Explorer, click the change button to modify these settings", but I don't see a way to do that. It just offers the option of changing settings for connecting to the internet, not which browser.
I'm stumped

How do I make KDE use smartdimmer instead of ... ?

Hi!
I have KDE 4.3 installed on my laptop and the power management options don't work when it comes to dimming my screen. I have just installed smartdimmer, which does work for my screen and I'm wondering how I can tell KDE to use that instead.
Thanks

There are two different settings involved:
'''Address Bar Autofill'''
If you have used HTTPS on a site before, Firefox's address bar autofill feature will prefer the HTTPS address. If you don't mind selecting from the drop-down instead, or simply typing the whole address, you can turn off the address bar autofill. Here's how:
(1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the filter box, type or paste '''autofill''' and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Double-click '''browser.urlbar.autoFill''' to toggle it from true to false.
'''Address Bar Search'''
Regarding address bar search, you can change the URL used by the "keyword" service. Please see this thread for links: [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/955363 Unable to connect to proxy due to automatic https].
Does that solve it?

I am unable to connect to the Web with Firefox, the firefox site displays on screen, yet I can connect on the same desktop computer to Internet explorer and Opera, what is preventing me from opening the firefox browser

I am unable to connect to the web on my desktop with Firefox 8, the program displays but will not connect to the Internet, Other browsers Internet Explorer and Opera do connect on the same machine. McAfee is not blocking it, virus checks detect no virus yet yesterday it worked perfectly

I tried what was suggested by starting in Safe Mode but the problem still exists. I am frustrated as I cannot connect to my Verizon Fios page. I can connect to the Internet with the Firefox Browser and can go to any web site except finding my Verizon Home page.

Thank you for your help. Another questions. For a small business firm of 10 computers what would you suggest the best server. We now are all pc's but eventually I want to upgrade to Apple. I currently have the Small Business Server.
Sorry to say that Apple isn't the best choice in that department as they are primarily a consumer products company, they don't cater to business needs with their offerings.
Phill Scheiler actually said they are interested in the 50% share of the consumer market.
Apple has discontinued their X-Server and now OS X server is really just a hobbyist pursuit, not a serious business solution. The Mac Pro hasn't been updated in ages.
Mac's can be used on Windows, Unix and Linux servers, but on that side of things it's best to use the services of a local server technician. Linux costs nothing for the licenses and is very secure and highly configurable.
You also can go Red Hat Linux which is a commercial version of Linux which requires licenses, but you get the better security and reliability plus business support.
All I can suggest is evaluate your local offerings from many of those type local server business services in you area and go from there. You'll likely be a mixed shop for quite some time or perhaps forever as some won't give up Windows like some won't give up their Mac's.
Also Mac's are not very cost effective anymore, Apple changes the operating system annually which require new software/paid upgrades, Windows 7 will last another decade and offer desktop models that parts can be exchangesd or replaced in house, unlike Mac's which one has to bring it in and AppleCare expires in three years.
So buisnesss and profit speaking Windows is pretty good, but if your like Google who has a big bank account then replacing Mac's every couple of years is nothing.

When I use Firefox for Yahoo mail the tabs such as sign out, search email, help seem to be disabled. How do I make them work? Works in Internet Explorer

There are a number of tabs at top of my inbox such as sign out, search email, help, etc. They do not work. For example cannot insert a name for search email- will not give me the curser to do this. When I use internet explorer these tabs do work so not a problem with Yahoo mail- must be problem with Firefox. Recently updated Firefox.

SafeBrowser posted Recently, the Yahoo Toolbar and the Babylon extension have been reported to cause that problem. They seem to overlap invisibly over the top of the web page display. If you have either or both, uninstall or disable them/it, or see if an update is available that solves the problem.
See --> http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Uninstalling+add-ons
I disabled the Babylon extension and Yahoo Mail works now.
Thank you SafeBrowser

Can I install windows essentials in firefox instead of internet explorer

recently installed windows essentials on internet explorer in order to use windows live mail, but would like to have it on firefox. Didnt see a firefox option on the download.

By default if AV software is installed Firefox will use it for instance to scan downloads. Firefox has its own rudimentary Phishing and malware protection
* see http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/security/#secure
** http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/phishing-protection/firefox2/
IIRC Windows Essentials does not specifically install on a single browser. I think my Windows machines have that installed and firefox uses it.

Thanks for the suggestion - removing my adblock and reinstalling the
flashplayer solved the problem, working fine now with new adblock which
will go bye-bye before I do the next update (not a fan of resorting to
swearing at my screen!)

im trying to just get CONTACTS and PHOTOS only back from my backup on itunes but it wont give me the option to do so.
how do i just get contacts and photos?

You don't.
It is all or nothing.
You should be syncing contact with your computer regularly, so they should be in whatever program you have chosen to sync.
You should be importing all pics regularly, so they should be on your computer as well.

When I am on internet explorer and a pop up come up on firefox,this is a college class and it won't work on firefox

I am starting college classes online and one of my classes has to be on internet explorer only.When the pop up for my class come up it on firefox instead on internet explorer.It has to open on internet explorer only
== this happen ever time the pop up come up

A solution could be the Firefox [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/92382/ IE Tab 2] extension - this opens certain pages in an Internet Explorer window within Firefox or open links in IE directly from Firefox. If you know (part of) the domain for those online college classes, you can set IE Tab 2 to automatically open those using the IE engine instead of Firefox - this is what I do for my own netbanking solution out of necessity.
