    If you go into internet options in the browser...you should be able to select the default browser. Set it to the one you want and that MAY take care of your problem. That worked for me in Vista but I haven't tried 7 yet. Just thought it may work for you too.

    I think I got your problem, basically you change the .exe extension to open in firefox. Now, you will need to right click on them again (one by one) and change back to there correct one.
