  • 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 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 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 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 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 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.

  • How do I set firefox as my default web broswer again?

    Okay so I set up this layout thing for Facebook. When it was done installing and I quit. Later I checked in and Firebox search box didn't come up. Some thing Called "Internet Search" was there. I reinstalled a new version of Firefox and it said on to set up as my default broswer and I clicked it and it didn't work. So How can I get firebox back?

    I did that but It didn't work. When I first open internet it doesn't bring up the firefox box that you can search stuff on. It pulls up some Internet Search thing. How can I change it back?

  • How do I set up a different default browser other than firefox?

    I would like my juno email page to come up everytime I open a new page but I can't seem to figure out how to change my default browser. Right now anytime I open a new tab the search engine is blank and it shows avg search engine. No matter what I put in the search engine after it goes to that page the search engine goes blank again. Because it keeps going blank it also keeps bringing you back up to it. So you might click on something and start writing and next thing you know you're writing in the browser again all because it disapears. It's very annoying. I want to get it off the avg search engine so I stop having these problems. I use to always have it open to my email start page so I would like to do that again or anything else if it will stop going to avg and it will keep what I ask for in the browser.

    Normally, Firefox will fill the new tab page with 9 thumbnails for your frequently visited sites. You can change that to the Juno URL if you like. Here's how:
    (1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
    (2) In the search box above the list, type or paste '''newtab''' and pause while the list is filtered
    (3) Double-click the '''browser.newtab.url''' preference and enter your preferred page:
    * ''Page thumbnails (default)'' => about:newtab
    * ''Blank tab'' => about:blank
    * ''Built-in Firefox home page'' => about:home
    * ''Any other page'' => full URL to the page ''you may want to copy this from another tab first for easier pasting''
    Press Ctrl+t to open a new tab and verify that it worked. Fixed?
    * If Firefox ''refuses to save the change'', check your Windows Control Panel, Uninstall a Program, for something named Search Protect and get rid of it.
    * If Firefox ''ignores the change'', one of your extensions may be overriding it. You can review, disable, and/or remove extensions on the add-ons page:<br><br>3-bar menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons > ''in the left column click'' Extensions
    IMPORTANT: Your More System Details shows a user.js file in your profile. Firefox will use this file at startup to override your previous session settings. This article describes how to track down and remove the file: [[How to fix preferences that won't save]].
    Any luck?

  • Certain websites require IE, and accidentally setting Firefox as my default browser has completely messed up my desktop shortcuts.

    When I changed my default back to IE, the icons changed back, but everything still opens in Firefox... How can I get the shortcuts to open in IE? I've tried deleting the original shortcuts and creating new ones, but they still open in Firefox...
    Thanks

    Hi,
    I'm not 100% sure I understand your problem. From what you've said, I think you're saying you've changed your default browser to Firefox, and the desktop icons all changed from the internet explorer icon (the blue e) to the firefox icon. You've changed the default browser back to IE, but the icons haven't changed back, and when you click on them they open in Firefox.
    If that's the case, the problem is with your default browser setup. From what you've said, you've already set it in the browser similiar to [[How to make web links open in Firefox by default|the support article]]; for some reason Windows hasn't changed the default browser.
    You could try (in Win 7) opening the control panel, then Programs ->Set Default Programs, and click on Internet Explorer in there, then "Set this Program as Default".

  • How do you make firefox NOT your default browser?

    I accidentally made Firefox my default browser thinking that you could change it back to not default. Is there a way to make a browser other than Firefox default when Firefox is currently default? (i.e. i want to know how to un-default Firefox.)

    I found an answer to this question at https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/761175.
    Don't mess with the registry keys, this part worked for me:
    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
