  • Can't Make Firefox My Default Browser

    I like Safari just fine but I want to make Firefox my default browser, OK? OK. Good.
    Now then, how do I tell Safari to STOP being my default browser?
    I have Firefox installed on the Mac and in its preferences, it thinks it's the default browser.
    So I went to Safari's preferences to make sure it doesn't still think IT's the default browser, but it does. So I went to the "general" tab under preferences. I see "Safari" as the default browser. I click the drop-box to choose a different application. Only "Firefox" is not listed anywhere among the applications.
    I installed Firefox from one of those "hard drive" like icons on my desktop. It runs fine from an icon in the dock. But near as I can tell, it's not listed among the applications on "Macintosh HD/Applications" directory. I suspect getting it listed there is going to be the first step in solving my default browser problem.
    So, what do I have to do to get "Firefox" listed among my applications, and then what else do I have to do to get it to be the default browser?
    Thanks,
    --PS

    No problemo, sorry about that.
    There is also a "Firefox.dmg" file on my desktop... I can tell that's not a .app, but... what is it exactly?
    The .dmg file is a disk image file. That is the format a lot of programs you download will be in. Some open by themselves to reveal the .app file some you have to double click.
    Double click on the firefox.dmg file. That should bring up a window that has a file called firefox.app. Right click with your mouse if you have one and drag it to the applications folder in your finder window.
    If you do not use a mouse put your cursor over thefirefox.app file. Now hold down the trackpad button and the ctrl key. Now you can use the trackpad to drag the file to the applications folder and drop it there.
    I prefer to not have any programs on the desktop. I like to use the dock to hold my favorites. Then the ones I don't use very often I just open from the applications folder.

  • 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".

    [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/make-firefox-default-browser-android How to make Firefox for Android your default browser]
    Many site issues can be caused by corrupt cookies or cache. In order to try to fix these problems, the first step is to clear both cookies and the cache.
    The Firefox cache temporarily stores images, scripts, and other parts of websites while you are browsing. <br>
    Note: ''This will temporarily log you out of all sites you're logged in to.''
    To clear cache and cookies, do the following:
    #Tap the menu icon located at the top right corner. This is the icon with 3 bars. On older Android devices you'll have to press the hardware menu key and then tap More.
    #Tap '''Settings'''.
    #After that, you will be taken to the settings screen. In the settings screen, look under the section '''''Privacy & Security''''' and select '''Clear private data'''.
    #You will then be taken to a list of what can be cleared. Select the following 2 for deletion:
    #*Cookies & active logins
    #*Cache
    #After those have been selected, tap the '''Clear data''' button to actually clear the cache and cookies.

  • How do I make firefox my default browser when the steps given do not work

    I have followed all of the directions but firefox is still not my default browser. I have gone over and over but it will not be default. I hate IE and do not want it. What can I do?

    The following link gives multiple methods of setting Firefox as the default, hopefully one of them should work.

  • How do I make FireFox my default browser?

    Simply that. My OS is Windows XP and on the control panel it only enables setting Internet Explorer as the default browser (or not) - but doesn't give other browser options, even though they are downloaded.
    So how do I set Firefox as my default browser

    By the way, your Firefox version seems extremely outdated. You should update to the latest version as soon as possible, as you are vulnerably for security exploits otherwise. Here is how to update Firefox: [[Update Firefox to the latest version]]

  • How can I/Can I make Firefox the default .PDF viewer in Windows 7?

    For the basic PDF viewing I do, Adobe Reader is just slow and annoying. I love using Firefox, but unfortunately I cannot set it as the default program to open PDF files. Even when I select Firefox after right clicking and select open with, Windows does not comply. Is there a config option I can change that will allow me to set Firefox as the default PDF reader.
    Thank you for your help.

    You can not make Firefox the default for viewing PDF files for the entire Windows Operating System, only the default viewer from within Firefox. Like when PDF files that are downloaded from websites and displayed in Firefox; you can try using '''File > Open File''' from within Firefox to view PDF file that are already saved on that PC, but I'm not sure that will work - I haven't tried doing that.

  • How to make Firefox the default browser for Hotmail

    I recently uninstalled Safari because I want to use Firefox as my default browser. Previously when I click the Mail button in Windows Live Messenger, the mac would automatically open my hotmail in Safari. Now that I have uninstalled it, when I click on the Mail button, it opens up with TextEdit. How do I make it open with Firefox?
    Any help is much appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Joe

    OK I'll post there also but I'm aware of the preferences section in Safari... thing is, when I choose to make Firefox the default browser, it resets back to Safari when I turn off the computer and turn it back on. Everytime. And it does my head in
    I heard of a program called More Internet that I heard could help slove the problem but I can't understand how to use it, nor is there any forum or any way to contact anyone who knows. It's driving me up the wall.
    So I'm hoping there's another way that someone in the world knows.
