Clicking links sometimes opens old version of browsers

I use Firefox. Occasionally when I click a link, it opens the URL in an
older version of my Firefox browser instead of the newest version. Is there
a setting somewhere that lets me designate which it uses?

Entourage sends a call to the System to open the default browser. That's
all it does, so there is nothing you could do in Entourage.

The System usually gets confused when you have more than one version of
an application installed on your Mac. It should open the latest one by
default, but obviously here it fails to detect which is the newest.
Do you really need to keep both versions on your Mac?? You could
consider renaming one of the two if you do and make sure the proper one
is selected in Safari (where you set the default browser).

Try re-setting your default browser preference. Open Safari, and go to
Safari > Preferences. Click the "General" button, and, in the menu for
"Default Web Browser", click "Select". Manually locate the newest version
of Firefox, and then click "Select". Quit Safari to save your preference.
