Open links in default browser, NOT in IE (which I don't use)

Submitted by Mr Yossu on Mon, 2008-05-05 13:58. Feature Requests

Hello,

I'm using the Classic view layout, so when I click on an entry in the list of new news items, the news item appears in the internal browser panel in FR.

Often, these only show the first part of the news item, so I want to go to the web page to read the rest. If I click the title of the news item, it opens up Internet Explorer and loads the page.

Please can this be changed so that it opens up in the default browser instead? I don't like IE and don't use it. I have an IE extension installed that gives me an "Open link in Firefox" option on the context menu, but this is still not as convenient as being able to click the link normally and have it open in the browser I choose.

Thanks for an excellent program.

You can further more set the option "Keep application in front when opening links in browser" from the advanced tab in the Option window. By doing so, you will open all links in your external browser but in the background (FR window stays on top). I find this option very convenient to avoid going back and forth between FR and the external browser.
