There is one oddity I've found with my setup at work. I have Firefox set to be my default browser for "web content" - so, if I click on a web link in Outlook, it opens in Firefox instead of IE. (Really confuses the folks looking over my shoulder, too!) If I want to see how a page looks in IE (or access a site that doesn't support anything else), I just have to open it, then type the address into the address bar (or Ctrl-O). 


<https://addons.update.mozilla.org/extensions/moreinfo.php?id=35&application=firefox>

(In case the URL doesn't work I suggest you click Tools ==> Extensions ==> Get More Extensions and add one called 'ieview'.

I didn't mean that it's odd that a link in Outlook opens in Firefox - the oddity was XML files that *always* opened in Firefox, even when I opened them using Ctrl+O from within IE.

Thanks for the link about the plug-in, though - that's pretty cool.  :)
