NX3 help with Firefox 3

(OP)
After upgrading to Firefox 3, I am unable to get the help to come up.  Any ideas?

It uses the default browser and worked on the previous version of Firefox.

So basically I go back a version or make IE my default browser.  There is no other work around for this?

I don't know, there might be.  I was just pointing out that if it DOESN'T work, there may not be much that can be done about it.

I have the latest firefox 3.0.3 with NX-3.0.5.3 running under XP/32 and no problems maybe there is something else at work!

I am not sure why I am having problems.  Is there a way to set the default help to point to IE then?

RE: NX3 help with Firefox 3

You would normally have to set your default browser to IE, and continue to use firefox manually when you choose to browse from other than a link. It is perhaps a good security tip if you prefer to use Mozilla anyway, since the majority of viruses that cause windows to pop up will by and large open the default browser, that way you'll generally be alerted to dodgy links etc..
