Tried this several different ways - no change - it still has FireFox set
to be the Default Browser somewhere, but I can't determine where.

Yes, I am using the last 1.0 release, which operates just fine in most =
ways.

I did find another little problem - in MicroSoft's MapPoint application =
it
is possible to have pop-up mouse-over info windows associated with=20
markers on the map. Using IE the little windows appear close to the =
marker
- using FireFox they appear at the upper-left corner of the active =
window=20
- in some cases invisible above the screen.

I just tried this with both IE and FF - a URL like =
http://my-homeip.net:123
works just fine in IE but produces an error message saying --> "access =
to
the port number given has been disabled for security reasons".  I =
suspect=20
(hope) there a way to overide this behavior, but I can find no mention =
of it.
