Hi

I cant register FF 2 as the default browser on Xp :/ My registry tweak looks good, but the default program is still IE on the start menu !! Do you have a tweak ?

hfrfc u don t need such a reg key just run firefix with this switch Firefox.exe -ms -SetDefaultBrowser

what does -ms do?

Hope it works for thunderbird too !!

The -ms switch is for installing firefox silently.
