do you have a need for the second browser? if not remove it

obviously I'm not promoting a particular browser. Personally, I use IE
because I am familiar with it. I'm not a technician but can offer
recommendations. If you need IE for something, the MVPs can help you out but
if you don't need it remove it. And I bet your  smart enough to already know
if you need help with firefox to find their tech support forum.

Hi,
I have Mozilla Firefox installed as default browser in addition of
IE7. When hitting an URL from an email message, Firefox opens the
window but two seconds later, IE7 opens an about:blank window.
This does not happen when I open Firefox directly.
Thank you in advance for any help.

Internet Explorer is integrate into XP so a complete removal is not
possible. Windows Update is normally requiring Internet Explorer.

Check for spyware / virus infections.
