Error launching default browser

I had downloaded and installed the trial versions of PSE 12 and PRE 12 in late November, 2013. Purchased both December 23, 2013 and downloaded both. Did not realize I could just enter the new product codes, and instead re-installed both. All seems to working, but when I click HELP>SUPPORT, I get error message: There was an error launching the default browser. You may need to re-install the application and the Help component. Does this refer to reinstalling PSE and PRE or the browser which is IE9? Had a chat seesion with Mohammed who told me to contact tech support who want me to pay for help. This does not seem right for a new purchase.
Also, since the purchase occured on December 23, 2013 and today is January 3, 2014 I wonder why I am already getting emails that I have reached my limit in Revel. I thought I had thirty days for unlimited initial uploads.

is your issue resolved now?

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

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.

Launch default browser to view local HTML

I have a documentation written in HTML and I want my application to launch the user's default browser in Unix or Windows to view it.
How can I do it ?
Actually, I tried to show the doc in a EditorPane of my app but I only get a beep and no exception.
Is it because the doc is long and with pictures?
thanx!

To my knowledge, there's no 'default browser' in Unix. You can try looking at these articles to see if they help:

"No default browser configured"

When I press F1 in VC++ 2010 Express to get an explanation about a Win32 function from MSDN, a message box pops up saying "No default browser configured on this machine. Help cannot be displayed until a default browser is installed/configured."
How can I configure a default browser? What kind of file does VC++ want me to specify a default browser to open? I've installed Opera on my computer, as well as IE.

Hi xiaokaoy,
Based on your issue, as far as I know that the F1 function is used to open the MSDN help page for the object on which the cursor lies in VS IDE. So when your cursor is on Win32 function , it will launch the corresponding MSDN page in web browser.
As you said the you get the error: "No default browser configured", I suggest you could try to make the IE as default browser by referring the following document check this issue.
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-hk/internet-explorer/make-ie-default-browser#ie=ie-11
If the above suggestion still could not help you, please you
reset your VS setting file by going to the Tools->Impoat and Export the settings... and then check this issue.
Or maybe you will need to repair or re-install the VC++ 2010 express and then check this issue again.

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

When I launch firefox on my wife's computer it comes up "Error Launching Brouser window : no XBL Binding for browser". What does this mean? How do I fix it?

On my wife's computer, when she tries to launch Firefox in order to connect to the internet, a window pops up that says "Error launching browser window: no XBL binding for the browser. How do I fix this? I am not very computer literate so please don't use too much computer lingo. Thanks for your help.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

If Firefox is set as the default browser, and any application attempts to open a new window, this fails and I get the error "Firefox is already running..."

Here is what I am running:
Microsoft Windows 7, Service Pack 1, Fully updated to 4/10/2012
Fresh Install of Firefox 11. No add-ons enabled as a result of troubleshooting.
I am a user with administrator rights
UAS is disabled.
To begin, this has been going on Since Firefox 10 or so. A few months now.
I am able to open Firefox. My add-ons worked (ABP, Flashblock, ABP Element Hiding Helper, IETAB2, Downthemall, Greasemonkey, 4chan extension) had no problems. Firefox is set and has been set for the last two years as my default web browser.
However Since approximately Firefox 10 or so, maybe before that, If I have a Firefox session open, and any other application attempts to open a session in a new window, I get the Firefox is already running, but not responding error."
I attempted to follow troubleshooting advice already posted (look for parent.lock files left behind [none present], multiple sessionstore.js files [none present], create a new user profile, attempted to clear out the "read-only" permission in windows 7, however as soon as it is cleared, the read only permission returns.)
As a last resort, I deleted the Firefox folder, the %APPDATA%/Mozilla directory in its entirety, then utilized CCleaner to remove any and all references to Firefox in the windows registry, then did a full re-install, no extensions installed right now.
I checked preferences and have the option "open new windows in a new tab" checked off. The problem persists regardless if this option is checked on or off. This problem persists in or out of safe mode, even with the brand new install.
Test Cases:
All cases:
Firefox is selected as the default browser for windows 7
Case 1: Open a firefox session. Utilize any other program that attempts to open a link to their website in a new browser window or new browser session. Experience "Firefox is already running" error
Case 2: Open a firefox session. Right click on Firefox on the task bar. Select "open in new window". Experience "Firefox is already running" error
Case 3: Open a firefox session. Select the Firefox Menu > New tab > New Window. A new window will actually open.
This is the only method of opening a new window in the same browser session or profile that actually works on my system. Attempting to open a browser session from the task bar "open new window dialog" or opening a new window while a current window/session is running will not open firefox in a new window or a new tab in the current session. The "Firefox is already running, but is not responding" error will occur every time.

Cor-el's suggestion resolved my problem. Apparently the MOZ_NO_REMOTE variable was set to 1 on my system variables. I never made it, and really have no idea how it got there, but deleting this variable and restarting firefox has resolved the issue. Thanks Cor-el!
Marking case: Solved
Solution: Verify the MOZ_NO_REMOTE variable is NOT set to 1. This can be achieved by simply deleting this variable.

Firefox 4.0 is my default browser, and I am receiving a script error message when I try to view online images in Family Tree Maker 2011, a genealogy program. Have not had problems until Firefox 4.0. Can't seem to find a setting in Firefox to fix this.

Error is as follows: Line: 63 Char: 4344 Error: Unable to get value of the property 'offsetHeight': object is null or undefined Code: 0 URL: http://yui.yahooapis.com/combo?2.8.0/build/yuiloader-dom- event/yuiloader-dom-event.js&2.8.0/build/dragdrop/dragdrop- min.js&2.8.0/build/stylesheet/stylesheet- Do you want to continue running scripts on this page? Y/N buttons."

I see. Well, I just tried to make IE my default browser, but it did not solve the problem. I receive the same script error when I view the image. (I may not have explained this thoroughly enough at first - I do get to view the image after answering the error message, but the print button embedded in the window doesn't work. Before, I never had a problem with viewing or printing.)
I imagine that at this point I will either need to communicate this to the IE people, or possibly revert to an older version of IE.

After the Firefox update this week (Sept 7?) links from emails won't open. I get an error message. So I've temporarily set IE as my default browser, and the links work.

Hi everyone, I have Snow Leopard 10.6.8. I have been very very frustrated by this problem. [I could not create new windows, and anything that opens new windows, such as trying to see what Add-ons you have etc would not work]. I read about changing screen alignment to the top... I have one screen so the option does not exist. The above messages would not fix this problem. I searched hard and did find a solution in the end. I read stuff about removing Add-ons until the problem is fixed, but its simply not the case.
First of all open Firefox. next go to options: Help --- 'Restart with Add-ons disabled'. Tick the box for add-ons, restart firefox. Next go to Tools --- Add-ons. Next (In the Add-ons Manager' click on 'Plugins' on the left hand side pane. Look for the small blue writing that says 'Check to see if your plugins are up to date'.
Now notice it should say 'Missing Flash'. "For your safety, Firefox has disabled your outdated version of Flash. Please upgrade to the latest version". I followed this, reinstalled Flash and it now works as it always did, no problems. For people where the above fix didn't work, try this one out. Hope it helps people!

          //launch URL here

Launch Internet Explorer from PDF instead default browser chrome

Hi
I want to launch IE Browser from PDF links rather than any default browser like chrome etc.
Is there a specific way that PDF links can be create for above requirement?
Thanks

Not possible. URLs are delegated to the OS which does with them what it's
set up to do.
The link itself (and Acrobat/Reader in general) has no way of interfering
with that.

Easiest way to launch a link to the default browser from java?

Is there an easy way to launch a link in the default browser from java? Ideally I would have a graphic in a cell that when clicked on would open a new window/tab in the default browser. This would be done in SWT, but it might be similar to swing, awt, etc. Any ideas?

If you are using Java 1.5 or earlier, I found the browser launch code found here to work fairly well: http://www.centerkey.com/java/browser

Hi mcclausky, you may need to manually remove a policy setting from the registry. You also should scan for malware that might have created this problem.
This article lists scanning and cleaning tools other Firefox users have found helpful: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]].
To check your Windows registry for policy settings that might affect Firefox or other programs, I suggest consulting a Windows forum or Microsoft's forums. For example:

I keep getting an error message and redirected to yahoo, despite having been in the site briefly using my default browser. any ideas?

Google is my default browser. I type in a search, click on the link, and go to the site, Sometimes I get re-directed immediately and other times I am able to navigate for a few seconds before being re-directed. I've tried changing the settings in the "about.config" area to make sure that Google does not appear anywhere. I've removed Yahoo from my applications (since doing that Bing now comes up anytime I open more than one browser window). I've looked for malware from Spigot and I can't find You Tube Downloader. In short, I've followed every suggestion that I can find. It hasn't fixed the problem, and has created a new one with Bing. Any other ideas??

It could be the work of one of your add-ons, or even add / mal-ware.
Look thru your add-ons list and make sure you know what each one is
and what it does. Also, check the programs that are on your computer
'''Windows:''' Start > Control Panel > Uninstall Programs.
'''Mac:''' Open the "Applications" folder
'''Linux:'''
* [http://www.freesoftwaremagazine.com/articles/see_all_your_installed_applications_ubuntu_unity Ubuntu Unity]''' {web link}
* Xfce: Applications Menu category sections
* options depends on the package manager and the desktop environment
Go thru the list. If you find something that you don't
know what it is, use a web search.
