How do I change my default back to Safari from Firefox?

I installed Firefox on my Macbook. Somehow, as part of the install, it became the default browser for links from Mail. I'd rather use Safari as my default app. Is there a place to change default browsers, and more broadly, is there a place to assign default applications in general?

Also:
In case you need to use Firefox in the future (when Safari doesn't display a page or web form correctly) it's advisable to go into Firefox->Preferences and uncheck the box that says "Always check to see if Firefox is the default browser on startup" button so it won't annoy you or accidentally reset Firefox to the default browser when you next use it.

  • How do I change my default browser when Safari won't open? (crashes)

    I have not been able to get Safari to run, it crashes when trying to open it. I was going to change to a different default browser until I figured out a fix or had time to reinstall the OS (the solution offered by apple tech support) but the only way I know of to change the default browser is a preference inside safari - one that I can't get to. Does anyone know what file I can manually edit on my machine to change that preference setting without opening Safari? Many thanks in advance!

    Shira & Firefox
    I am using Shira & it is a very fast browser, however i would run permissions repair & a disk repair, first if Safari can not be opened long enough to set the default ( You set the default In Safari Preferences->> General tab-> Default Web Browser:)
    Are you using IE or other browser to download the browser of your choice?

    When I download Microsoft word documents (if have word 2007), I have somehow changed the settings and it downloads them in wordpad, and the format is very bad and I can't read a lot of the document. How do I change the default setting back to using Microsoft Word 2007 to open these documents?
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == about a few weeks ago - I had tried to open some docuuments saved on a mac, my PC (which runs Windows 7), used word pad to open these, and this seems to have changed the default settings somehow.

  • How do I change my default browser on my MBP back to Safari?

    I made the mistake of changing my default browser to Google Chrome on my MBP. I have it on my Dad's Dell, only cause I updated that to Windows 7 and needed to update the browser settings on that. That change on my MBP transfered the Norton & MaFee as well.
    Now it won't let me change back to Safari. I'm not thrilled with 'data sharing'and 'data mining' aspects of Chrome.
    My MBP is using 10.9.1 Mavericks.

  • How can I change the default preloader?

    I noticed that a preloader appear on one of my projects.
    Then, I checked Adobe Captivate folder today, and accidently
    found out several other preloaders do exist!!!
    How can I change my default preloader to another one?
    There is a way to do it, Right? Please say yea.
    I will share the path tomorrow when I get back to work.

    Look in Preferences > Project > Start and End > Preloader.
    Browse to the preloader file that you want to use.  You can also specify the percentage of download buffer at which point the playback will start (while the rest of the file downloads in the background).
    Please note that preloaders only work when the content is served from a web server over HTTP.  The do not help you at all if your content is hosted on a LAN server over TCP/IP.
