how do i change my default browser from yahoo to safari ?

You may be mixing two things.
Safari does not really have a home page.
You set your home page on these pref (see pic below). In the pic below my home page is zip, zero, nada.
You set your search engine prefs via the Search option from within Safari preferences.

    How do I change my default browser from Safari?

    The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico, Spanish is my native tongue. I do not speak English very well, however, I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
    Can't be done.

  • How can I change my default browser from Safari to Internet explorer?

    The problem of Safari freezing (see thread of April 24,2009) has become maddening in my case. If I open an URL received by email it opens automatically in Safari, which soon freezes. I have Explorer for Mac, can I make it my default browser and escape this trouble?

    If you can get into Safari's preferences, change the default browser there. If not, use an application such as RCDefaultApp to change it; some other web browsers also provide this capability.
    You may want to use a browser such as Firefox instead of Internet Explorer.

  • How do I change the default browser from Firefox to MS Internet Browser?

    I selected Firefox as my default browser and would like to return to MS Explorer.

    Put a check in the box next to 'Internet Explorer should check to see whether it is the default browser'
    Start IE and let IE make itself the default browser.

  • 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.

    Open Safari, then go to Preferences. You can change the default browser in those settings.

  • How do I change the default browser

    Can anyone tell me how I change the default browser which is invoked when I run a web application from Jdev3.1(under NT 4.0). When I run main.jsp from the JDev interface, it invokes IE 5.5. But, I want it to invoke and the application on Netscape 4.6. I don't know if it's the NT registry, but I wanted to make sure w/the experts before I temper w/the registry settings.
    Thanks!

    Alan,
    You got me started on this.
    Unfortunately, IE also messed up my browser,
    HTM file descriptions (MS...HTML...)
    and the HTML file icons and ...
    Any how, I also want to make Netscape my default, so I searched and I found this:

    This is as simple as it gets.

  • Help, my Safari browser has been acting super strange.  It keeps changing my default browser from Google to Only Search, and my search bar will only search on Yahoo no matter what I do.  On top of that I get MacKeeper popups every time I click a link

    Help, my Safari browser has been acting super strange lately!  It keeps changing my default browser automatically from Google to Only Search (if you use the search engine Only Search it takes you to Yahoo.com).  My search bar will only search on Yahoo no matter what I do to make it Google.  On top of that I get MacKeeper popups every time I click on a link.  What is worn with my computer and how do I fix it?!

    There is no need to download anything to solve this problem. You may have installed a variant of the "VSearch" ad-injection malware.
    Triple-click the line below on this page to select it, then copy the text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination  command-C:
    /Library/LaunchDaemons
    In the Finder, select
              Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
    A folder named "LaunchDaemons" may open. Look inside it for a file with a name of the form
              com.something.daemon.plist
    Here something is a variable word, which can be different in each case. It could be "cloud," "dot," "highway," "submarine," "trusteddownloads," or pretty much anything else.
    There may also be a file named
               com.something.helper.plist
    in the same folder.
    If you find files with names that fit the above description, post what you have for "something."

  • How do I change my default reader from VU 360 to Adobe Reader?

    How do I change my reader from VU360 to Adobe Acrobat? My default reader on my downloads has been changed to VU360 and I don't know how that happened. I don't want VU360. I want Adobe Acrobat. I changed it in the applications but VU360 still comes up as the default reader. Is there another place that makes VU360 the default reader?
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == VU360 got accidentally loaded and now it's taken over

    I have a similar problem. I need to change my default reader from Adobe Acrobat 9 to Adobe Reader. How do I do that?

  • How do I change my default browser in apple mail to firefox

    I would like to change my default browser in (Lion) Apple mail from Safari to Firefox - I don't like the small Safari screen that pops up and I'm also finding the full screen in Safari a bit of a challenge

    So - 43 months - yes, FORTY-THREE MONTHS,  and this still has no answer!
    We're all on Yosemite now, and still Apple Mail invokes Safari whenever you try to search on content. Safari's preferences are set to Firefox, Firefox's preferences are (of course) set to Firefox. And there is no setting in Mail to specify a preference.
    Come on Apple - we thought you were way too cool to use Microsoft's dirty 'browser monopoly' tricks! Please, please let us have access to a proper browser. Please? Pretty please?
    Or do I have to trash Mail and switch to Thunderbird?

  • I accidentally changed my default browser to Firefox. I need it back on IE. Now, my shortcut to IE goes to Firefox instead. So, I don't have IE to change it. How can I change my default browser back to IE through Firefox? Thanks!

    Don't know what else to add. I always use Firefox. My husband refuses to. I have a shortcut for him to get to the internet, and it always came up to via IE. Now, I somehow accidentally changed the default browser to Firefox, so when using that shortcut, it takes him to the Firefox browser instead of IE. He is furious! How can I change it back?

    You can make IE the default browser, that will reset some registry keys<br />
    Control Panel > Internet Options: Programs<br />
    Put a check in the box next to 'Internet Explorer should check to see whether it is the default browser'<br />
    Start IE and let IE make itself the default browser.
    Check the default settings in:<br />
    Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs > "Set Program Access And Defaults" (on the left)<br />
    Open: Custom (click arrow on the right)<br />
    Select "Internet Explorer" under "Choose a default Web Browser"<br />
    Click OK

  • 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?

  • How do I change my default browser?

    I was having problems with Firefox so I started using Chrome, kept getting a keychain popup, so went back to Firefox.  Now everytime even though I'm in Firefox when I open a link it opens in Chrome.  In Chrome settings it states that its the default but there is no option to change it. 
    Help?

    Kelly,
    I indicated the process was "super intuitive" (with the wink, wink) because, it is, in fact, not at all intuitive.
    Safari is the keeper of which web browser is the default.  The web browser you were using may allow you to change it.  And I presume that is what you did.  You changed a setting in the "advanced" segment of some preferences for whatever browser you are using. 
    Not all browsers have the selection to choose which browser is the default.  So I gave you the most generic solution.
    Glad you were able to solve the problem
    Here is another link sowing the same solution:
