Ok, I've been able to change it to launch FF externally whenever I click 
a html file (the first hit when I did a help search on 'browser', 
actually :-$), but the internal browser nevertheless is very much 
IE-like.  If I click the "Add to Favorites..." option after right-click, 
it even has a subfolder "Links", which is a very typical IE thing...
