When I click a link in an email, it opens in Internet Explorer.  Can I configure the WE/OE program to open them in Firefox?

You must have IE set as the default browser , I think.

Open Firefox then click on tools at the top >options. then click on check now, where it says to "always check to see if Firefox is the default browser on startup.

That being said, Outlook may have it's own settings for choosing the default browser.
