When I request to open Picasa Web Albums from within desktop Picasa 3.6, the Opera browser is used even though it's not my default browser (FF is). How can I "fix" this?

Some more information about your environment would help people diagnose. OS? What other browsers are installed besides Firefox? Where are you showing that Firefox is your default browser? – Andy Shinn May 7 '11 at 4:45
Windows 7 x64, installed browsers are Firefox, IE9 and Opera. If I double-click a HTML file on my local PC it opens in FF as expected. From some applications like Picasa Web Albums Opera opens instead (I think I've seen this is some other app too but I can't remember which one it was). I can't explain it. – Borek May 11 '11 at 13:05

Check to see if Opera is the default handler for http or https.

Go to Control Panel, search for Default Programs, choose Set your default programs, Select Firefox, Click on Choose defaults for this program, and check the boxes next to HTTP and HTTPS, Hit Save.
