Default applications
How do i set up default applications for certain commands? More specifically how do i make Firefox the default browser and Thunderbird the default email client when links are clicked? Thanks in advance for help.

Open the Apple Mail program and in the mail menu select preferences. You'll see on the first tab default e-mail client. Navigate to Thunderbird. Open up Safari and in the Safari menu do the same thing. I know it's a funny place to hide that but now you know. I like the way you think I have my settings that way. as far as default apps just highlight the file and hit this key combo Apple button + the I button that's get info. In the window that opens select open with and then check do this with files of this type. Any other questions?
