How do I change mail web links to Firefox?

Was having a lot of problems with Safari, so I deleted it and am using Firefox. Now links to websites contained in incoming mail won't work, I presume because they are directed to Safari. How do I change them?
Thanks in advance!

Well, now that you have deleted Safari, you cannot do it the easy way! To do this with Safari installed, you would only have to launch it, open the Preferences… dialog, press the General pane and select FireFox from the drop-down menu labeled Default Web Browser. That's no longer an option with the application removed.
Rather than delete Mac OS X applications, by the way, it's better to leave them in place because of the shared frameworks they have in common, the interrelationship of—for example, such applications as iCal and the Address Book, iSync and .Mac Sync—and the difficulty posed in the future applications of Mac OS X updates because one or more applications are missing or have been moved from their default location. In short: don't try to 'outsmart' OS X.
To address this issue, you should download the RCDefaultApp utility from rubicode, which is available here:
http://www.rubicode.com/Software/RCDefaultApp
It will install as a System Preferences pane. Launch the System Preferences application, select Default Apps, press the internet tab if it is not already selected, and select Web in the scrollable box on the left. The drop-down menu on the right will allow you to select the default application for web links.
You may enjoy exploring this plug-in, but be careful: it's very powerful, and indiscriminate use can wreck havoc with your Mac OS X configuration.

    You've probably found an answer to this by now, but I think this has been addressed in another forum -- The link below suggested using a button and adding the tooltip to the button.

  • How do I create a web link??

    How do I create a web link??
    I want to be able to take some text or an image and have it link to a website. Seems simple, but am unable to do this and searching online I haven't found any solutions. I have tried copy and paste from word, create in Acrobat Professional and then open with Designer. None seem to work. Please Help. Thanks.

    In Acrobat Standard and Professional there is a "Link Tool" that can be used to create links by drawing a link box around the object you want to appear under the link box. You will be provided a pop up window offering you the choice of the various types of link you can create.
    The "Link Tool" is on the "Advance Editing" tool bar. More information is available in the "Complete Help" under the menu bar "Help" option.

    In Stickies, ⌃click (or right-click) the link. From the contextual menu, choose Remove Link. Alternatively, choose Edit Link…, then click the Remove Link button, or delete the URL.

  • How do I change the Web App Root

    During installation I made a mistake of choosing the compiled output directory as the Wen App Root, whereas it seems that it actually wanted the source directory. Consequently whenever I try to open a source jsp file I get
    Unable to create this part due to an internal error. Reason for the failure:
    The NitroX editor can only be used with the pages located in the Web Application Root directory.
    The Web Application Root directory is the directory containing the WEB-INF folder.
    The text editor is being used instead.
    How do I change the Web App Root directory, I can't find a menu or preference that shows the current value or an ability to establish a new location.

    Does this mean then that you are forced to have a WEB-INF folder sitting beside JSPs you want to edit with NitroX?
    e.g. If my project directory structure looks like this:
    project-root
    |-- dist
    |      |- WEB-INF
    |      |- a.jsp
    |      |- b.jsp
    |-- web
            |- a.jsp
            |- b.jsp[/code:1:daa10af002]
    i.e. I keep my JSP source code in /web but when I run my Ant build the JSPs are copied to the dist directory.
    If I try to edit the files in /web using NitroX I get the error mentioned above. Does this mean I have to make /web the Web App Root directory and thus have to have a WEB-INF folder inside it?
    Cheers,

  • How do you change the shortcut keys for Firefox in Welsh For Mac?

    I'm using Firefox in Welsh on Mac (asking in English to hopefully get more answers), and every time I try to do the shortcut for copy (cmd+C), it hides the window (since Hide in Welsh is Cuddio, the shorcut for that is now Cmd+C). I usually forget this, and proceed with using the shortcut for copy only to anger myself when I realise that I've hidden the window.
    My question is, how do you change the shortcut keys on Firefox so then I can change the Hide shortcut and give Copy the cmd+C shortcut? I'm also using OpenOffice.org in Welsh, and they are using cmd+C for copy and cmd+H for Hide.
    Is there any way that I could do this myself? Its rather annoying for me, and its rather weird to use Cmd+X for Cutting text instead of copying.
    Thanks.

    This could be worth a bug. It shouldn't happen that some shortcut keys get (re)used for other actions and Cmd + C should be considered as one of them.
    You can try to make the change in this file: cy.jar/locale/browser/baseMenuOverlay.dtd
    <pre><nowiki><!ENTITY hideThisAppCmdMac.label "Cuddio &brandShortName;">
    <!ENTITY hideThisAppCmdMac.commandkey "C"></nowiki></pre>
    English language pack: en-GB.jar/locale/browser/baseMenuOverlay.dtd
    <pre><nowiki><!ENTITY hideThisAppCmdMac.label "Hide &brandShortName;">
    <!ENTITY hideThisAppCmdMac.commandkey "H"></nowiki></pre>
    You can find the file cy.jar in the chrome folder in the Firefox application folder.<br />
    The file cy.jar is a ZIP archive, so you need a program that can open such an archive and edit the file baseMenuOverlay.dtd.
    I'm not on a Mac, so can't do any testing in this matter. I just downloaded the Welsh (cy.xpi) language pack for Mac and had a look in it.

  • How i can change temporary files directory on firefox 3.6.8 because my system disk has little space

    how i can change temporary files directory on firefox 3.6.8 because my system disk has little space

    In Firefox,the equivalent ofInternet Explorer temporary internet files is the cache.
    You can change the location of the cache by adding a new preference, for details see http://kb.mozillazine.org/Browser.cache.disk.parent_directory
    If you are not confident about adding the preference, I know of one add-on that lets you specify the path of the cache. [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/13288/ Super Tab Mode] is an add-on that enhances Firefox tab handling, but also has a section for changing the location of the cache

  • How can I change the ENTIRE look of Firefox?

    How can I change the ENTIRE look of Firefox? I.e. I want to change all icons that appear in the browser - the loading "gif" the firefox...well... fox of fire in the "about" page, etc. Also what text shows up, for example on the "about:robots" page, and when hovering over a button, etc.
    I could do something like that with an earlier version of Firefox, and I found the quotes from the "about:robots" page in the "omni.ja" archive, extracted, changed them and replaced in the original archive, along with other icons, however they do not seem to be implemented. :/
    I do not mean changing the desktop or .exe icons, already did that.

  • HT204053 how can I change credit card linked to account

    how can I change credit card information?

    On your computer's iTunes you should be able to edit your payment info by going into the Store > View Account menu option and logging into your account, and on your account's details page there should be a payment link.  If you are doing it on your iPhone then you could try tapping on your id in Settings > Store (Settings > iTunes & App Stores on iOS 6+) and selecting 'View Apple ID' on the popup - that should also give you a payments link on your account's page.
