Is Firefox set to be your default browser? If so, you can change this behaviour by setting Internet Explorer to be your default browser.

When you start Internet Explorer, if it isn't currently the default browser, it usually asks you if it can set Internet Explorer to be the default. If you have already answered "No" to this question and have checked the "Do not ask me this question again" box, there is a setting somewhere in the Options that will let you change your mind.
