How do I force Outlook 2010 to use Firefox instead if IE8?

Whenever I click a link in my emails, it opens in IE8. With only one link, it works fine, but when I click on multiple links in a techie email, IE locks up when dealing with multiple tabs. Firefox works great. Where do I change the settings in Outlook 2010 so that links will open using Firefox instead??????? Help files have not produced an answer. This is on a Win 7 Ultimate 32, Office 2010 Military version, with full Outlook 2010. TIA
