I installed Firefox on my Windows vista, but despite this I'm not able to
see it in the default program list. How can I add it?

Thanks
Andrea

I think I have read somewhere that at the moment Firefox can not be set as
the default browser.

It is going to take a few updates to get it totally Vista compatible.

I see it my list. Check under 'Set Programs access and computer defaults',
see what's going on there.

Where is the 'Set Programs access and computer defaults' folder or item?
Did you mean the Default Programs?

StartMenu/openwith?

When you click and open "Default Programs" from the
start menu, there should be 4 options listed. The first
is "Set Your Default Programs", you said you tried that
and did not see Firefox listed. Firefox is listed there for me.

The last option in the "Default Programs" window is
'Set Programs access and computer defaults' -
click that and have a look around. Look under
"Custom"> "Default Browser"
see if "Enable access to this Program"
is checked for Mozilla Firefox and if Firefox is also checked
there as the default.

Sorry ... I found that.
Ok using the second options - Non Microsoft - in "Set programs access and
default programs" I was able to finally see Firefox set up as default
browser, but it has removed Internet explorer and Windows mail at all.
Unfortunately also in this way, in the first option - Set your default
programs - Firefox doesn't appear.

Third custom option brings explorer as default in any case.

A little step forward.

Any other idea?

Do you have UAC turned on? If you do, try reinstalling Firefox
by right clicking on the setup file and "Run as Administrator",
Firefox should ask you during the setup or first run if you want it
to be the default browser. See what happens.

You would use that to open a file with a specific program.
