How do I set Firefox a my primary browser on my Android

I want to set firefox as the primary browser but i can't find it in the settings

Is Chrome your current default browser? If you go into setting > Apps and find Chrome, you can tap into its settings and look for the Launch by Default section and click "Clear defaults". The next time you hit a link, Android should ask you to choose your preferred app to handle it.
Success?

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.

So when things are loaded, it uses Firefox to open it up and search it or whatever I am doing.

How do I set Firefox as my default browser? I can't do it through Firefox.

I recently updated to 3.6.13, and I tried 4, but I lost all my toolbars.

Easiest way is to open Internet Explorer, go to Internet options -> Programs -> And click the button called something around the lines of: "Use as standard" right at the very top of the window.

How do I set Firefox to be usable for all users on one computer?

I would think the about:config entries discussed are ex-factory set to values each user has to change individually, after the installation has run its course. The solution could be to have patched files ready to install post factum:

How do I set Firefox 4 to automatically start in 16-bit mode?

Certain web sites I use daily require Firefox 4 to be started in 16-bit mode. How do I set Firefox 4 to automatically start in 16-bit mode?

Do you mean 32 bit mode as opposed to the default 64 bit mode?

# Right click or control-click the Firefox.app icon
# Select "Get Info"
# Select or Deselect "Open in 32-bit mode"

How can I set Firefox to print to PDF, the only otions I have are (1) My Canon printer, (2) Fax or (3) Microsoft XPS document writer. There is no option for PDF

A couple of weeks ago, from the file menu, in my print options was to print a web page to PDF, that facility is no longer there. does anyone know how can I set Firefox to print to PDF.
The only options I have are (1) My Canon printer, (2) Fax or (3) Microsoft XPS document writer. There is no option for PDF

Firefox generally displays the printers in Windows' Printers folder (Start orb > Devices and Printers). If it is missing one of the printers listed there, could you indicate which one it is, for example, Adobe Distiller, PrimoPDF, CutePDF Writer, etc.?
If you previously had an add-on which added print-to-PDF functionality just to Firefox, perhaps it got disabled. You could check here:
orange Firefox button ''or'' classic Tools menu > Add-ons > Extensions
Also, are you really running Firefox 8.0.1? That version from last November is no longer secure and has been superseded by Firefox 11. If you browse the web widely, you should update for your security.

How do I set Firefox to open new windows in a separate window (not in tabs)?

How do I set Firefox to open new windows in a separate window (not in tabs)?

Click the orange Firefox button, and click "Options". This will bring up a new window with a "Tabs" tab at the top. Click that. There will be several checked boxes, including one called "Open new windows in a new tab instead" up at the top of the list. Uncheck that box and you should be good to go.
ETA: This should also work if you click "Tools" and "Options" within your version.

How do I set Firefox 5 to NEVER delete any history entry???

How do I set Firefox 5 to NEVER delete any history entry???
Like I could in firefox 3, in about:config, set firefox to store(and therefore never delete) history entries. up to 900k entries.
I want the same in firefox 5. How?

Yes, use Firefox Portable for that website.

I doubt is this is an issue with the Fast Release schedule, more like an issue with a website that is incorrectly screening the user agent of the browsers being used, or with a website that hasn't been updated for a browser that was released over three months ago.

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.

How do I set Firefox 30 preferences so I will stay signed in to various websites?

In all versions from 24 back I could close out the browser and stay signed in to several websites I use on a daily basis. After upgrading from 24 to 30 it signs me out of every website, even tho I have the keep me signed in boxes checked and I have FF preferences set to not clear cookies & to show windows & tabs from last time.
I'm not happy about v 30 as I had to install even more add-ons in order to make it more convenient to use. IMHO sometimes it's not always worth fixing when it's not broken, especially when options are removed and new ones make it less user-friendly and more like 'other' browsers. One reason I liked FF so much was that it wasn't IE or the 'other' browser. :-((
How do I set preferences so I don't have to sign back in to every website each time I open the browser?
Thank you.
PS, Why does FF keep asking me if I want to allow silverlight when I go onto ebay? And is that something I should allow? I never needed it or was asked before v. 30.
PSS, just an observation when when clicking on the automatic troubleshooting info, FF window popped up saying it was blocking it's own site. I'm not very techie, so would like to know the purpose of FF blocking its own site. Thanks again!

How can I set Firefox (in about:config?) to NEVER bother me with update notifications?

Welp, the question says it all. Or almost all of it. I DETEST the latest, MENU-LESS version of Firefox (and it DOESN'T help that, by standing on my head and spitting wooden nails in a particular direction, I CAN actually find everything contained in the old menus), and therefore I force-installed the previous version (28.0), but my problem is that I am still pestered with prompts that urge me to upgrade to version 29.0. I resent THE HELL OUT OF THAT! I resent ANYTHING NANNY-LIKE that is IN MY FACE!
So, I thought that by setting certain app.update parameters, I could be rid of that UPDATE SCOURGE - and in fact, it seems to have worked on my Linux-only desktop - but, alas, no, it is still there, still very much IN MY FACE on my dual-boot (openSUSE & Win7) desktop PC!
What, then, can I do to be rid of those update prompts? (Note that I am hoping that at some point in a not too distant future, Mozilla will offer, for each new version, a WUS and an I'M THE MAN variant, where the latter allows the user to steer the vehicle, as it were... if this never materializes, then at some point (when I deem Firefox 28.0 to be too unstable to use any longer), I will ditch Firefox in favor of an alternative that retains a semblance of the male's hobby-garage look (as oppose to HER slick, everything-hidden, kitchen-cabinet look!).
Thanks!
I am running openSUSE 13.1 in dual-boot iwith Window 7, and it is only on the SUSE interface that I am having the problem (on Win7, earlier versions allow me to tick a 'don't install anything, ever' box via preferences, rather than having to seek a solution in about:config). Right now I am using Firefox 28.0, having force-downgraded from the latest version.

The Link I gave you above won't tweak Firefox but rather give you a brief overview on what's new in Firefox 29.
The link below will show you how to customize Firefox 29 to look like previous versions of Firefox before 29.

How do I set Firefox to open new windows in my second monitor?

When opening a new window (by right clicking a link and selecting Open in New Window), I would like the window to be opened in my second monitor. Firefox used to do this, but randomly stopped. Now when I open a new window it is opened in my primary monitor. It does not open maximized (just short of being completely maximized). I have tried the fix I used before- moving the un-maximized browser to the second window, closing and re-opening the window. I have also tried moving the un-maximized browser, maximizing, closing and re-opening. Does anyone know how I can restore Firefox to open my new window in the second monitor?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== Randomly

Click the orange Firefox button, and click "Options". This will bring up a new window with a "Tabs" tab at the top. Click that. There will be several checked boxes, including one called "Open new windows in a new tab instead" up at the top of the list. Uncheck that box and you should be good to go.
ETA: This should also work if you click "Tools" and "Options" within your version.

I set firefox as the default browser by accident. I want to use another browser sometimes. How do I undo the selection?

I want to choose my browser - Firefox for Gmail and other uses, Internet Explorer for Outlook.
When I installed the newest version of Firefox, I checked the box to make Firefox the default browser, but I want to undo that. How?

Tools > Options > Advanced > General : System Defaults 
[ ] "Always check to see if Firefox is the default browser on startup"
Control Panel > Internet Options > Programs 
"Internet Explorer should check to see whether it is the default browser"
Check the default settings in: 
Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs > "Set Program Access And Defaults" (on the left) 
Open: Custom (click arrow on the right) 
Select "Internet Explorer" under "Choose a default Web Browser" 
Click OK
