Accidentaly set firefox as default browser. How do I undo it.

I am required to use Google. HELP!

This is a brand new installation of Firefox? I don't know whether there is a troubleshooting article on this scenario.
Can you start up in Firefox's [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe%20Mode Safe Mode]? Hold the Shift key when double-clicking the Firefox program icon to start up in safe mode. You can ignore the checkboxes and just Continue in Safe Mode.

  • How to set Firefox as default browser in Mac OS X via console

    I would like to set Firefox as default browser via the command line in Mac OS X. The goal is to enforce Firefox as default browser for all users of a Mac OS X system by means of a login script. I am also looking for a way to add Firefox to the user's dock from a login script.

    Launch Safari and open its preferences. You set the default browser there.
    Not very logical is it? I think a Microsoft plant came up with that one.

  • I set Firefox as default browser, and now IE is gone. How do I get it back?

    I downloaded the current version of Foxfire and set it as my default browser. I need to apply for work and many companies only support IE. I clicked on IE and only Foxfire opens on that icon. I can't find my IE, my bookmarks there are gone and I can't apply for the jobs! I took Firefox off as default browser, but it didn't bring back the IE. I am very unhappy at this point and need help!
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == when I set Firefox as my default browser

    After a lot of messing around with settings, and different windows, I found that it's only the desktop icons that are defaulting to open the Firefox browser. If you go to your program list, and open IE there, it works and all the bookmark info is still there.

  • Set FireFox as Default Browser-GPO

    We have online Staff & Student Software that only will work properly using Fire Fox.  After visiting with the companies, they have no intentions of changing from Fire Fox to IE because of all the continuing issues with IE.
    Anyhow, how would we go about using GPO to set the District Computers default browser to Fire Fox?
    Thank you.

    FireFox is a Mozilla product and has no native support for group policy settings. You might try using an extension from Mozilla to see if you can manage these settings

  • Can't set Firefox as default browser even after following steps in Firefox support

    Can't set Firefox as my default browser even after following the steps outlined in Firefox support. Operating Firefox on Snow Leopard with Windows 7 running under Parallels. Clicking on links in emails, etc. always opens IE 8 in Windows instead of Firefox on the Mac
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == About a week ago

    I had the same problem, I just forgot how to fix it. I did it once a while ago but just recently the problem had returned. The first link in vineelreddyp's post solved the problem for me.
    Just as an FYI for people, when OSX does software updates it includes Safari updates. When it completes a Safari update it resets all the Safari settings (they recently upgraded to Safari 5.0), including default browser.
    So anyway, FYI about that. ;-)

  • After uninstalling nightly, I can no longer set firefox as default browser for email links and they no longer open.

    When I try to change the default firefox protocols in windows, only the nightly shows and I can not unclick it. When I attempt to click on a link in an email (Windows Live) I get "Class not registered"
    I presently have IE set as my default because it is the only possible way to open email links.

    You can install both win32 and win64 Firefox Nightly builds on a 64-bit Windows computer. As you should know, all Firefox nightly builds are intended for testing only. If you downloaded your Firefox nightly build from http://nightly.mozilla.org/ then you got the win32 installer. (win64 installers are available from http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/latest-mozilla-central/ and possibly elsewhere: [http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?p=12694481#p12694481 ref.])
    Anyway, the bug report I referred to earlier ([https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=870312 Bug 870312] - Installing Nightly causes "Class not registered" error on click on link in other apps after uninstall) fits your issue ("broken" uninstaller). It was triaged as a "Shell Integration" Firefox bug for x86_64 Windows 8.
    Whether you had the 32-bit or 64-bit Firefox nightly installed, you can try reinstalling a more recent build of that, and then uninstall it again. That worked for a Windows user who had problems uninstalling Firefox Nightly x64 as reported in this thread:
    *http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=23&t=2473175
    If that doesn't work, also try reinstalling Firefox 25, to see if that helps matters.
    I'm not the best person to help you, though, since I'm not testing Firefox nightly on my Win7 x64 computer. Hopefully someone will be along that can help you better, or you could try on the MozillaZine Firefox Builds forum (it's linked from the nightly.mozilla.org page).

  • Netscape mail wont use firefox as default browser even though set up as default browser in firefox.

    I want to continue using Netscape Mail 7.2, but when I click on a web link I want it to use Firefox browser. I set Firefox as default browser in Firefox options, but it is not staying set when I look again. I don't know if Netscape is resetting it or what.
    Please help.
    Thanks,

  • How do I automatically connect to my ISP when I launch Firefox like Internet Explorer does (Firefox is set as my default browser)?

    When Microsoft Internet Explorer was my browser the dial-up connection screen to my internet service provider would come up automatically when I launched the browser.
    Now that I have made Mozilla Firefox my default browser this no longer happens. Launching Firefox results in an error message which says the website cannot be found. I then have to launch Internet Explorer, connect to my ISP, close Internet Explorer, then launch Firefox.
    This is a bit tedious. Can Firefox perform the same connect to ISP action automatically just like Internet Explorer does? If so, how do I activate this?
    Thanks

  • How do I make Firefox the default browser in a non-administrative Windows XP account, where clicking to do so has no effect?

    I have two accounts for myself on my PC running Windows XP. In the administrative account, Firefox is already the default browser that opens when I double-click an HTML file, etc. Firefox knows it's the default browser there.
    In my other account, every time I start Firefox, it tells me it's not the default browser. Clicking there to make it the default, or in the options, does nothing.
    When I go to Set Program Access and Defaults in the administrative account, "Use my current Web browser" is selected. Mozilla Firefox is not listed as an option. In my non-administrative account, the Add or Remove Programs control panel can't be used. It says I don't have permission.

    To check that in the other account you would have to give it temporarily administrator permissions.

  • How do you make Firefox the default browser when the normal way doesnt work?

    Im trying completely from chrome after a friend showed my how much firefox has got its act together. However i cant for the life of me set it as the default browser. I have tried the "make firefox the default browser" button in firefox, which simply opens the windows default programs panel. Whenever i try to use the panel it simply sets the http protocol to nightly which isnt even installed!( http://puu.sh/2vJHM ) I think a possible fix would be to manually change the registry, but i wouldnt know where to start.

    Did you check the box on ''Options > Advanced > General >[X] "Always check to see if Firefox is the default browser on startup"?
    Have you restarted Firefox and if so, or when you do so, what does that section on the advanced Firefox options show?
    Have you tried restarting your system after setting the default browser using the second suggestion and, after restart, check the setting per the second suggestion to see if that setting is holding?
    Updating your Plugins would have no affect on the default browser question. It was something that you needed to do to avoid security issues online by using an out of date version of Java. Java is not involved in the default browser issue. That is why I separated it from the first part of the reply with a line and began with the word "Other".

  • Every time I reboot, Safari has reverted to my default browser, despite setting Firefox as default (both with Firefox and Safari) in my previous session. What else can I try?

    Following the instructions here only work temporarily:
    How to make Firefox the default browser

    Setting Firefox as the default browser does not work
    ... browser is described in the How to make Firefox the default browser article. Most external programs ... , click Set this program as default . Internet tab under Web Browser , choose Firefox in the drop-down.
    OCCASIONALLY I can hear my laptop fan whirring excessively when using the web. If it happened too much, I've quit the browser and the laptop soon cools off. This started when using Safari, and was why I thought I'd try Firefox for a while. Apart from the default browser issue, I've found Firefox easier to use and more reliable. I can't say for sure that this 'overheat' issue has never happened with Firefox since I installed it.

    This is caused by a problem with the file that stores customizations. For details of how to fix it see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Toolbar+keeps+resetting
