Using mail is great. My default web browser is Firefox. But when I click links in my mail they open in safari. Is there a way to make it open in a new firefox window or tab if firefox is already running?

Have you rebooted or logged out (or even just quit Mail) since making Firefox your default browser? If not, perhaps these should be tried first.

[EDIT] Never mind. I just tested and the change occurred in Mail without even quitting Mail.

Did you set Firefox as your default browser using the Safari preferences?

Did it in Safari preferences, worked. Thank you! Figured system preferences of having Firefox as my default takes precedence so I didn't even look in Safari.
