Can't change default browser

I'm having trouble setting my default browsr. I go into Safari and set it in the options, but once I exit Safari and reenter it is back to what it was before. Right now it is set to Safari and I want to change it to Firefox, but it has been stuck on other browsers I have tried in the past. How do I make is so that I'm able to change the default browser?

beirnek,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Quit Safari, find the com.apple.Safari.plist file in your Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Preferences Folder, drag it to the Desktop, log out/in or restart and try to reset your default browser. Let us know what happens.

  • Can u change default browser on 5800 to Opera??

    hi, is there anyway you can change default browser on 5800 to Opera?? So that when u slide the menu out and select the browser / internet
    world icon, it instead opens Opera10, rather than the default **bleep** nokia browser.
    There is a setting to change the default apps, but it doesnt let you change the web section, to anything other than browser ??
    And secondly, do you know what Turbo Opera does in the settings on the new - awesome - Opera 10 Beta ???
    Many thanks

    The opera 10 beta cannot be set as default.  The final may have that feature, try asking on opera's forums.
    For information about the turbo feature visit opera's website, it tells you all about it on there. 

  • Protect Not Registering and Can't Change Default Browser

    Hi All
    I have bought a new Z10 and I am trying (hard) to like it as a replacement for my current iphone 4.......
    But what's stopping me at the moment is that:
    1. I can't see my z10 on the Protect website (http://...) even after I have turned on the Protect option on the handset. I am in Australia with the Telstra network. The website tells me I need to install the app (which I know isn't compatible with the z10)...Is this a bug ? I have even tried a hard reset on the handset....no luck. 
    2. I can't for the life of me change the default browser from Bing. I followed other tread but as suggested, I am not given the drop down option in the top right corner to change, just a "b" in the top left.......If I click the "b" it takes me to the Bing website.......
    I really hope I have missed something simple......but please help me like my new phone.....
    Thanks
    Jim

    Update - I have no figured out the default browser issue. Just the Protect issue remains.....Thx.

  • Can I change default browser from IE to FF?

    Anyone knows how to setup default browser in CS3?
    Thanks in advance!

    Forgot to say that I didn't mean preview browser. The reason I am asking is that there are script errors in the page and the error message pop-up from Contribute is from IE. So I am thinking maybe I can avoid it by somehow switching browser.
    Thanks again.

  • How to change default browser to Firefox.

    Hi,
    I've upgraded our Solution Manager 7.0 to EHP1. Most of the applications that I use: sld, smd, user admin, etc. run fine in my default browser, Firefox.
    But when I use a workcenter, RCA for example, and I open a webdynpro application which runs on a separate browser window, Internet Explorer is always used. How can I change this behaviour to choose the right default browser ?
    Regards,
    Joan

    Hi Joan,
    You can set in your Firefox. Go to Tools->Options. Choose the Main tabs, then press button Check Now in system default and if your firefox not set as default browser you will be asked to change the default browser from IE to firefox. I've been using firefox as default browser to test workcenter service.
    Hope it helps.
    Rgds,
    Desty.

  • I need to know how to change default browser for my desktop icloud apps to open with.

    I like to use the desktop icloud apps, but when i use them, they open with IE when my default browser I like to use is Chrome. Is there a way to make it open with Chrome when I open Calendar or iCloud from my desktop instead of IE?
    thankyou for your help in advance!

    Ed...maybe a little less time gaming and a bit more time in English class? They got this thing called punctuation and sentences now. Last things first; there is no amount of money that can change your GPU so you can scratch that expense off the list. So you need a battery and a fan? Where do you live? USA? We can help you find a battery but where did you plan to have the new fan put in? 

  • Change Default browser, Nokia E6 Belle

    Hi,
    I recently upgraded to Belle, is there any way to open links from email with Opera, not default browser. 
    The settings->Default Apps is not working.
    Can I expect fixing of this problem soon?
    Thanks
    Moderator's note; Corrected post title and removed corrective post.

    Well, I am Nokia  500 user and I have exactly the same problem. Default browser settings are simply ignored in Belle. Previously I have used Symbian Anna and there Opera Mobile was set (by me) as default browser and it was working as expected - means links opened from email client were opened in Opera. After upgrading to Belle, Opera Mobile still can be set as default browser, but this setting is simply ignored.
    I am not so sure if it is Opera developers fault, otherwise why it was working on Symbian Anna ???
    If nokia programmers have changed some standards (if they did - I do not have such knowledge) they should also support some backward compatibility. From my point of view (user point of view) it is simply regression. I have also reported this problem to Nokia Care without any result and response. Since that time I am checking updates regularly and instead reasonable fixes I got several minor updates related to social networking or alike . It is frustrating.
    In fact currently I am not even sure who should I bother with this problem, Nokia developers or Opera developers ?

  • Can't launch default browser to view help

    when I go to the help section it states there was an error launching the default browser and than I may need to reinstall the application and the help component.....how do I do this and what caused this to start happening....thanks
    [ title changed to something useful by admin ]

    See if you can launch the browser from your file browser (explorer on windows and finder on mac)
    If you can not, then that is an OS issue and someone here may help, but would need to know what OS you are using since the directions are different for each OS.
    If it does launch , let us know and someone will help with the directions as long as you provide what OS you have and what version of photoshop you have. Again the directions differ.

  • How Can I Change Default Zoom Settings For Safari?

    I just got my new iMac and hate the fact that everytime I open Safari everything is small and centered directly in the Safari screen.  How can I change the default settings so it either zooms in more or is in a landscaped mode so I don't have two big white patches on the sides of my window?

    The only way I know of, (and that I use) is as follows:
    Open textedit and create a new document.
    Add the following 3 lines to the file
    body {
    zoom: 175%
    Save the file as "somename.css". I called mine defaultzoom.css and saved it in Documents.
    In Safari go to Preferences | Advanced.
    In the Style sheet: dropdown box choose "other" and browse to the location of your somename.css file.
    That's it, now webpages will open with the default zoom level you used in the file (I use 175% but you need to tweak it for your screen size). Also, I do run into situations where some pages don't render correctly. If that happens you can go back to Safari | Preferences | Advanced and change the Style sheet dropdown box to none until you are done viewing that paticular website. Then just put it back when you are done.

  • X6 - change default browser

    Hi,
    Does anybody know how to change the default browser on the X6? I recently installed Opera Mobile, which is much more reliable than the Nokia browser. Therefore I'd like to know if there is a way to change the default browser to Opera.
    Thanks,
    Riaan
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    No the only thing that will change is that attachments will open in Opera but everything else defaults to native browser, if you keep Opera mini (less Ram intensive) as a shortcut on your homescreen, you can get direct link to your 9 favourite web sites straight away though 
    If I have helped at all, a click on the White Star is always appreciated :

  • Can not change default smart mailboxes

    Hi,
    Ever since I upgraded to 10.9 my Mail.app does not allow me to make changes to the smart folders.
    There is a default one called "today" and it can be deleted, renamed or edited but in a few minutes it reappears in its default state. Same for any new smart mailbox, I can create it but in a few minutes it is again not there.
    How can I fix this?
    Thanks
    Asu

    Hi Don,
    Thank you so much for your help and information. I have been trying to figure out how to change the default browser for about two weeks now. All the help files I've seen talked about an internet control panel I did not seem to have.
    I followed your advice and that fixed it. I now get the right control panel when I pick the internet control panel from the apple menu. And yes, I can now choose my default browser.
    After the fix when I first checked HELP to see if it could now open the internet control panel, it gave me an error message and told me to restart the computer. However, after rebooting and rebuilding the desktop it opens the control panel for me.
    It also fixed at least one other problem I had with another program. Ever since I upgraded my IM program, it's INTERNET SETTINGS link under the edit menu never worked. It would not do anything when I chose it. It now works and opens the internet control panel. That is nice.
    One other question.
    After using Tome Viewer, I seen a number of internet related files. Some I already have like; Internet Prefs, Internet set and Internet Config Extension. However there is one called "Internet.cnl". I don't seem to have that file anywhere installed on my computer. Should this file be installed somewhere too?
    Thanks again for your help. It was very much appreciated.
    Joe
