mine is related, even though i have INTERENET EXPLORER 6 as my primary browser, 
i use firefox for some other related reasons and to support some users i work 
with. whenever i click on a link inside an aol AIM chat window, it always 
brings up the browser as firefox. when i uninstall firefox and click the link 
it still trys to call firefox and i have to remap it to internet explorer.
