Default browser is Firefox.
If I click on the Internet explorer app thing the IE home page loads etc.
Some links though for eg. Clicking to download latest update of ccleaner automatically try to do it with IE and it does not work.
Am I being bone or is there a way I can ensure ALL links I click on open with Firefox, and why does IE not work that way anyway?
It is possible to have a program instantiate a particular web browser to check for updates.
As (usually) every Windows OS has IE, then that is the standard browser to use in such cases.
So, CCleaner may be set this way, instead of letting the OS decide which browser to invoke,
which would be far better.
Thus, regardless of your "default" browser setting, the running program in this case will try to use IE.
In such a case, it would be better programming for CCleaner to detect if IE failed, then to try FF and then Chrome or Safari
to check for any updates.
