How can I remove Firefox as my default browser?

I do not want Firefox as my default browser at this time. Please advise how I can release Firefox from being my default browser.

So if there is a link in some other application, what do you want to happen when you click it?
The default browser settings are stored in the Windows Registry. In Windows XP there was a handy dialog to change the application responsible for handling URLs, but I haven't found it in Windows 7. If you find directions for editing the settings in Vista or Windows 7, then you could try blanking out the settings for how to handle URLs. It's always a good idea to make a backup before tweaking registry settings manually.

  • I want to remove Firefox as my default browser. How?

    I have a MAC Pro laptop -- all of the repsonses deal with PC environments. I know there is an easy solution. I just can't find it. I'd rather not delete Firefox from my computer but if I can't figure this out, I will. Thx

    I was just trying to find answers from the kb articles. The one I posted actually said to use the Safari option.
    From your screenshot, you are in Firefox's options, and that may help, but you are in the left most tab [General] You need to be in the right hand tab[Advanced]
    See [[How to make web links open in Firefox by default]]
    I do not think that actually change the default browser merely stops Firefox being the default browser all the time. You will still need to follow the other article,that says
    Using your operating system
    # From the Dock, open Safari.
    # From the menu bar, click the Safari menu and select Preferences....
    # Click the General icon, to display the General preferences panel.
    # In the Default Web Browser: drop-down list, select Firefox.
    # Quit Safari

  • How do I make Firefox NOT my default browser and restore Internet Explorer as default browser?

    I used to have Internet Explorer as my default browser and when I went to Firefox it asked me if I wanted Firefox as my default browser and I always sad no. I must haves screwed that up somehow and I want to go back to Explorer as default.
    == This happened ==
    Not sure how often

    To make Internet Explorer your default web browser, you can click on '''Tools''' from the toolbar at the top and select '''Internet Options'''. Then select the '''Programs''' tab from the top of the window to access the default browser settings. You might want to also choose to be alerted if Internet Explorer is not your default browser. Click '''OK''' to save your changes.
    Please also be aware of that Firefox's latest version is [http://getfirefox.com 3.6.4] while you're running 3.5.9.

  • How do I set firefox as the default browser in Windows Server 2012 Group Policy Editor?

    Hello, I am unable to set firefox as the default browser despite multiple different attempts to do so using group policy.
    I have:
    - Set a registry command (targeted at 32/64 via a WMI query) to reset the opening command as shown below:
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\http\shell\open\command
    "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -osint -url "%1"
    - Set a powershell logon script to run (that does run):
    firefox.exe -silent -setDefaultBrowser
    Despite setting the above it seems the client computers browsers are not affected by the settings above. When the script runs or if I run the command above a UAC window pops up and requests that I accept the command (for the setDefaultBrowser) but even if I click yes as an administrator it does nothing.
    Since GPO in 2012 has changed perhaps there is something that I am missing? Do I need to somehow disable Windows Internet Explorer from achieving default browser status?
    Please do not reply if you will suggest that I use Internet Explorer Maintenance (since this function in GPO has been disabled since IE10)
    My DC is Server 2012, my client computers are Win7 32/64.

    The above reply does not take into account that I am trying to use GROUP POLICY EDITOR to make it the default browser.

  • How do I UNSET Firefox as the default browser?

    When asked I set Firefox as the default browser. I would like to UNset this setting, but that option does not seem to be in the preferences. Where is that option hiding?

    You do that by setting another browser as the default browser and make sure that Firefox doesn't ask.

  • I installed 4.0.1, and now it keeps asking me to reboot, and it hijacks all links and will not allow me to remove it, despite rebooting many times.. How can I remove Firefox?

    What more can I say - Firefox 4.0.1 is preventing me from doing my work and preventing me from removing it via the Windows control panel.

    Do a clean (re-)install:
    * Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
    * Firefox 4.0: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    * Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
    * It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox
    Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere (not in the Firefox program folder) and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.
