Browser default

[smuffy]

Does anyone know how to change the launcher's default browser from Explorer to Mozilla? I have NEVER been able to use Explorer to download custom content from the Sims 3 store as it literally does nothing once I click download and it replies that it is downloading, and always have to do it the long way round via Mozilla.

This might be a dumb question, but I'm assuming Mozilla is set as your default browser for the whole computer?  Sometimes programs are 'locked' into using only one browser (usually IE) and can't be changed, I've seen it with other programs on my PC.

Other thoughts:

how up-to-date is your copy of Explorer?
maybe your Mozilla has an add-on that you've not installed in Explorer because you don't use it as much?
What version of Windows are you using? 

I've just successfully downloaded an item from the store using Vista with an completely updated IE so it should be possible on your machine too.

I'm using Windows 7, but I had exactly the same problem with an up to date version of IE on XP as well.

I wish there was a way to change the default browser.  I always just open Chrome and go to the store from there.  If there is a link on the launcher I want to go to, I first let it open in IE then copy and paste into Chrome.  A little annoying but better than having the normal IE issues.
