Check for updates opens IE even if another browser is set as default

When selecting "check for updates" from within the application UI, IE is always launced even though the default browser set for my system is Firefox. Is there a setting internal to CC or a registry value I am not aware of that can be changed to launch the system's default browser?

In order to help you better, please list the following:

- OS + whether it is 32 or 64 bits + Service Pack # (if applicable)

- Program your updating (CCleaner/Defraggler/Recuva/Speccy)

- IE & FF version #

Firefox 10 is default on my 32 Bit 7, & CCleaner + Defraggler always correctly open Firefox when I click "Check for updates"

Very old issue this one, several threads going back years this is one of them

It opens my chrome. This is a rather recent development for me though.

Thanks all for the links/suggestions. I followed one of the suggestions and from the CL I entered:

firefox.exe -silent -nosplash -setDefaultBrowser

and that seemed to do the trick.

For reference I am on XP-SP3, Firefox 10.0.2.

Thanks for posting back and letting us know what worked for you.
