I eventually found this page which mentioned the Vista Fix: Start - Default Programs - Set Program Access and Defaults. Firefox was not listed in there for me. I want to add my eventual fix to the annals of history. Instead I went to 'Associate a file type or program' and listed the things by name to see what Explorer was still linked to. .url was the culprit. I changed that to explorer and wallah - problem fixed. The links even open up in a firefox tab now. Sweet.

I click on the link and nothing happens. If I click on a user ID they're details come up in Twhirl, but when I click on a posted link then nothing, nada, zip, zero... Anyone have any suggestions on how I can fix this annoying glitch? Please drop me an email if so :o) Well I can’t get links to open in ANY browser. I click on the link and nothing happens.

Only IE, Safari and Current Default. However, I reset Firefox as default through Firefox option settings ("Check Now") and also used the command prompt provided above, namely "Start >> Run >> firefox.exe -silent -setDefaultBrowser. Now it's working fine! Not sure which one did the trick but it's working and that's made me very happy :) Firefox not showing up in the Set Defaults section for me either.
