Forgot something aswell, there is one last step:

Then go into IE, Tools > Internet Options > Programs tab > Reset Web Settings > Yes. If you want Firefox to be the default browser, open Firefox and set it as the default.

Hello! I also have another solution to the firefox/IE 7 problem. This fix is suppose to be for IE 6, but it infact does work with IE7 aswell.

Start > Run > explorer
Tools > Folder options > File types tab >
find “(NONE) URL:HyperText Transfer Protocol” > Advanced > and under Actions, choose open, and click Edit…
Then, fill out the boxes like this:
Action: open
Application used to perform action: “C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe” -nohome
[x] Use DDE
DDE message: “%1″,,-1,0,,,,
Application: IExplore
DDE Application Not Running:
Topic: WWW_OpenURL

Thanks for the tip ondeleting the regkey! I’d noticed the exact same problem after installing IE7 alongside IE6 on my testing machine, and ended up removing it for the time being until I found a workaround…
