Hi, i just migrated from win xp to win vista.
Previously on win xp, all links dbl clicked in mirc will be opened in Firefox, but now in vista, links are being opened in IE.

I dont want that, how can i make all my links open in Firefox?

That's a known operating system bug.

The official code to get around that is.

on $^*:HOTLINK:/^\W*(((?:https?|ftps?):\/\/|www\.)\S+)\b/:*:return
on $*:HOTLINK:/^\W*(((?:https?|ftps?):\/\/|www\.)\S+)\b/:*:run firefox.exe -new-tab $regml(1)
