Force IE to open all internet links

Does anyone know of a way to for all web links no matter where a user clicks on them to open in IE. We need to have chrome in our desktop image (for reasons beyond this discussion)
but if a user is using Gmail in chrome and clicks on a web link in Gmail I need it to open IE and not try to open the link in chrome.
Any Ideas?? Thanks in advance

Hi,
Did you use Windows 7?
In Windows 7 control panel\All control panel items\default programs\set your default programs, set IE to a default program to open links.
And try to reinstall chrome, when it ask you if set chrome to default, do not select it.

Force Safari to open ALL links and everything else in tabs

I want to have just one Safari window open and all the links that I click on that are supposed to be in a new window open in a new tab and all the links that I click on any other program open on the same safari window but in a new tab just like in Firefox.
Can I do that? One single window for all my browser needs?

Hi
Sure you can do it - you enter the following in Terminal
+defaults write com.apple.Safari TargetedClicksCreateTabs -bool true+
then press the Return key
read more about it here or see google

How do I force Qt to open all vids maximized? + Ignore imbedded autoplay?

Every time I open a movie, QT opens it in the default video size, and every time I have to maximize it. I'm tired of doing that! WMP and REAL both have the ability to open all vids in maximized mode, but I can't find that option in QT. Is there any way to force it to override the default video size on the file and open the QT window in maximized mode (not fullscreen, just maximized)?
And while I'm on the subject of overriding default video file settings, how do I force QT to ingore the "play on start" setting in the video file? I've uncheck the option on the QT player preferences to play files when opened, but the program still uses the imbedded setting on the .Mov files.

Everytime I open a internet link, on an email for example, it opens it up on firefox, is there a way i can open this on safari instead? For all of my links?

Please help?

In Safari set the Default Browser to Safari. It seems it is now set to be Firefox.

Director automatically open all the links of webpage in the new window

hi
i want to design the application in director .when user enter
the URL of any website then all links of web page open in the new
window....
for example ..if user type "
www.Google.com" then all links(hypertext) of Google webpage
automatically open in the new /separate window ...
reply me how can i do this
regards farhana

Just off the top of my head you could use getNetText(URL) and
netTextResult(netID) to get the HTML source of the web page as a
string, parse the string for <a> tags, extract the href
attribute to create a list of links, then use gotoNetPage using
_new as a target to spawn a bunch of browser windows with those
links. IMHO the result would be like getting spammed with dozens if
not hundreds of popups but there is no reason why it wouldn’t
work.

Home page will open. No further pages will open. MS explorer opens all internet pages, so connection is fine.

If I try a website it says "unable to connect". If I then go to 'help', 'restart with add ons disabled' then 'continue in safe mode', the website will open. But I would have to do that for each and every further page.

Hi,
The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!

Internet Links via Gateway using proxy?

Does anyone know how to open the internet links through the Gateway with
using proxy?
If it is worked, how to include/exclude particular URL/domain/subdomain(s)
in order to use/not use the gateway proxy?
Thanks....
Jay

Have a look at the page of the admin console under Gateway Management/Manage Gateway Profile. There are four fields which affect how the gateway uses proxies: DNS Domains and Subdomains, Use Intranet Web Proxy, Use Web Proxy Enabled and Don't Use Web Proxy Enabled.
In DNS Domains and Subdomains, you can list all the intranet domains and subdomains that will be accessed via specific proxies. The syntax for each line is
domain_name [web_proxy1:port1] | subdomain1 [web_proxy2:port2] ...
On the first line you specify the default domain and subdomain. Any requested URL's that do not include a subdomain and domain are treated by the gateway as belonging to this subdomain and domain for URL rewriting and proxying purposes.
On the last line, you can specify something like '* myproxy:8080', which says that all domains/subdomains other that those listed on lines above will be accessed via the proxy 'myproxy' on port 8080.
(Have a look at chapter 8 of the Administration Guide for examples of these entries.)
If a proxy is indicated for a requested URL by the entries in this list, the gateway will access the URL via the nominated proxy subject to the following conditions:
If you check Use Intranet Web Proxy, the gateway will use the proxy unless you've put the URL in the Don't Use Web Proxy Enabled list, in which case it will send the request directly.
If you haven't checked Use Intranet Web Proxy, the gateway will use the proxy only if you have entered the URL in the Use Web Proxy Enabled list, otherwise it will send the request directly.

Why does "open all in tabs" delete my entire current browsing session?

I went into my bookmarks and selected "open all in tabs" for a particular folder. It opened all those links in new tabs, all right - but it closed every tab I already had open, and did not save the session.
It is really, massively frustrating and stressful when this happens, because I have to spend hours slogging through weeks of history, trying to reconstruct what I was already doing. WHY is this set up this way? If it's going to delete all my current tabs, shouldn't it save them all as a session (preferably) or at least warn me that it will do so?

this is not the standard behaviour in firefox - per default "open all in tabs" will open the selected bookmarks next to your already open tabs. do you have any extensions installed that might alter this behaviour?
not related to your question: you have a outdated version of the flash plugin installed on your system. for security reasons you should probably update to the latest version. you can check your plugins at [https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck].

Forcing "Open cross-document links in same window" to be unchecked

Hi All,
I am distributing a PDF document set where there is one PDF with well over a hundred links to other PDFs which are located in sub-folders.
The set will be distributed on USB thumb drives.
It will be simplest for users if they have "Open cross-document links in same window" unchecked.
Is there a way I can "force" it to be unchecked?
During a test, someone got a security warning: "This document is trying to access abcd.pdf" Allow/Block. Why are they getting that message when there is no Internet request?
Thanks very much for all thoughts and wisdom,
David

It works in an older version 6.0
Anyone know how to get this to work in the newer versions?

Internet Shortcuts saved on Desktop open new instance of Firefox 3.6 using clean profile--how can I make it open all shortcuts using current profile?

I rely heavily on Firefox's profiling ability to assist me in my web design projects. Lately, using Firefox 3.6, I have run into some problems with how it opens Internet Shortcuts that are saved locally (i.e.- shortcuts that reside on my Desktop). When I double-click on one of these shortcuts, a new instance of Firefox 3.6 is loaded with the saved website from the shortcut, but it's also initialized a fresh profile (i.e.- my bookmarks are gone, no add-ons, etc.--it's as if it uses some sort of "hidden" clean slate to load the shortcuts).
Is there any way to force Firefox to load all shortcuts into whatever profile I'm currently using at that given moment? I think the reason this has happened to begin with is because of the fact that I did some stuff to Internet Explorer awhile back that caused some problems with the Internet Shortcut associations and it all led to this eventuality.
I'm running Windows XP Pro and have the following profiles with my Firefox versions:
"C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox 3.6\firefox.exe" -no-remote -p Firefox3.6
"C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox N\firefox.exe" -no-remote -p FirefoxN
"C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox 3\firefox.exe" -no-remote -p Firefox3
"C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox 2\firefox.exe" --no-remote -p Firefox2
When I go into the "Folder Options / File Types" and double-click on "Internet Shortcut", I have the following within the "Advanced" settings (for the "open" action):
Action: open
Application used to perform action: rundll32.exe shdocvw.dll,OpenURL %l
"Use DDE" is checked...
"DDE Message" is blank...
"Application" is "shdocvw"...
"DDE Application Not Running" is blank...
"Topic" is "System"
Again, I think the root problem here is to do with the profiles and how they're handled when being opened with Firefox but I can't discern how to apply a fix with all this as I've obviously goobered this up a bit. I would really appreciate some professional knowledge on this and would prefer to avoid any reinstalls of anything if possible.

To save your sanity with this issue, my advice is to find a method other than desktop shortcuts to open those URL's.
1. Desktop shortcuts are going to open the Default Browser.
a. With multiple versions of Firefox installed that would be the last version that was installed when you have Firefox set as the Default Browser in Windows..
b. The Default Browser is going to use the Profile that shows a Default=1 in the profiles.ini file.
c. The Default Browser with the Default Profile isn't going to open if you have any other versions of Firefox already running, and the -no-remote command line parameter doesn't work in this situation.
2. The use of multiple Profiles and multiple versions isn't officially supported by Mozilla, and all the Bug reports that I have ever read about Requests for Enhancement have been WONTFIX'd by the developers. Basically we have to work with the limitations in Firefox and maybe improvise work arounds by ourselves. I've even seen a few threats about removing Profiles altogether in RFE Bug reports about Profiles.
I have had so many problems over the years with this Default Browser / Default Profile thing over the years that personally I find it easier to just set Opera as the Default Browser in Windows rather than have a Profile get b0rked because some other program I am using decides it wants to open the Default Browser unexpectedly. I don't use Opera for much, but it is a lot better than IE for purposes of being the Default Browser, considering the quirks I have seen with Firefox and multiple Profiles.
I have written a number of postings over at the MozillaZine Builds forum over the years about installing multiple versions of Firefox and using multiple Profiles. There's a lot of tips and comments provided by other multiple Profile users in one of those threads. Why don't you read those threads and see if it gives you some ideas or solutions I haven't thought of.

Force firefox to open links in a new window

How can I force firefox to open a link in a new window? Right now it opens the link in the same window, no matter how I configure the settings. Frustrating.
Thanks

Firefox does not have a built-in setting to open all links in a new window. Normally, you would need to hold down the Shift key when clicking the link (Shift+click) or use right-click > Open Link in New Window.
You may be able to find an add-on that adds this feature. I know there are various add-ons to open links in a ''new tab'', but I don't know about a new window.
If the problem is particular to Google search results, there is a setting in Google itself to switch the links from same window to new window. That can be found on the search preferences page:
https://www.google.com/preferences#nwc
This preference is saved in a cookie, so if you clear cookies often, then you would need to revisit that page often.

Have MacBook Air, double clicking on track pad won't open files in finder but opens mail and links, and internet sites

I have a MacBook Air. I can not open up files in the finder when I double click on the track pad. Double clicking does open up mail, internet, links, etc.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.
