How can I get Firefox to open links I click in IM windows instead of Avant Browser?

It appears as if Firefox is set as the default browser allready.
I also have the same problem with gmailto and clicking on mailto links.

Which operating system are you on?

If Windows, you need to go into "File Types" (from Windows Explorer) and see if any of the http: or html associations are still associated with Avant Browser instead of Firefox.

Does your IM program decide which browser it uses to open links seperately from your OS? That could be it.
