Whenever I click on a link in the DDO Launcher the link always opens up Internet Explorer.

How do I change it so the link opens in Firefox by default?

Is it even possible?

I don't like Internet Explorer and would like a better workaround that copy/pasting the link address from IE into Firefox.

As far as I know, its not possible. Microsofts development tools and/or some core Windows functions probably forced Turbine to use IE whether they wanted to or not.

I don't link in-game. I use firefox and ALT-TAB if I have to. On my system this does not cause any problems. (I run in Windowed Mode if it matters.)

It took 12 hours for the game to finally load yesterday.

Im now on Chrome.

Firefox, IE & Opera still gets redirected.

Cache was cleared on all 4 browsers, also did a dnsflush, An answer would be nice.

You can't as it is hard coded to open Internet Explorer instead of your default browser.
