I set Firefox as my default browser. However, whenever I click a
hyper link when no browser is opened, say from my Eudora, it always
opens Firefox with the content, AND opens IE as a blank window. When
Firefox is already open, this problem don't occur. Why?

As a side note, when I click open a local html file, the Windows
always prompt out a warning, saying the file "does not exist" or "path
is broken", while the page opens in a browser. Isn't that funny? ;-)

Thanks.
