How do I set my default browser to Firefox?

When a URL is in an email message and I click on it, it goes to Safari. I want it to go to Firefox. I looked through all the preferences settings and could not find an answer to this. Thank you.

This is not set in Thunderbird. Thunderbird uses your default operating system browser.
Go into Safari and tell it that it is not the default and then go into Firefox and set it as the default.

    I need to set my default browser mozilla firefox from the command line, ie without using the GUI.

    '''-setDefaultBrowser''' is the correct command - you need the two capital letters.

  • Problem setting default browser to Firefox

    Hey everyone,
    I'm stumped and could use some help. I have set my default browser to Firefox (Safari - preferences - default browser - Firefox.)
    Here's the problem: I click on a URL in Mail and get an error message. (Result - clicking the URL won't open Firefox) I go back to Safari and the default is set to "Firefox copy." I only have one Firefox. I cannot find a copy anywhere. Whether I set the default browser with the drop down menu or by choosing "Select - Applications - Firefox" the same thing happens.
    I don't have my OS X discs with me though I can go to an Apple Store to reinstall the OS. If there is a less drastic solution, I'd be grateful. (Just spent two days in Apache, MySQL, PHP setup **** and don't want to mess any of that up)
    Thanks
    PS Don’t remember the exact error message but it is the same one everybody gets if their default browser is not set up.

    Sorry, I guess I wasn't clear.

    There is no "Firefox copy." Safari changes what I choose ("Firefox") to "Firefox copy." Since there is no "Firefox copy" the URL will not open in the nonexistent "Firefox copy" or in the Firefox I do have because it will not stay set as the browser default.
    How do I get rid of the "Firefox copy" choice in Safari's default browser dropdown menu? And/or how do I get Safari to leave the default browser choice as "Firefox" (not "Firefox COPY!") Remember there is nothing on my computer called "Firefox copy." It only shows up on the drop down menu when selecting a default browser.

  • How to disable updates and hide set as default browser option in firefox 31.0 for many users,like changing the setttings in any file

    Hi,
    I am trying to disable updates, set as default browser option and import settings from other browers permanently for many users for firefox 31.0.
    can you please help me with that. I know settings are going to prefs.js file in user profile. How can make this permanent for many users.

    Hi gaurav3012,
    Permanent change would be locking preferences: [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Locking_preferences]
    However importing many users profiles to different computers may require a new profile for each user.
    Currently there is an option to import bookmarks from other browsers, but not preferences.
    Update preferences can be read about here: [[Configuration Options for Updates]]
    Firefox ESR is also another version of Firefox that is meant for Enterprise environments [https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/organizations/] that mostly has their support on their mailing list.

  • How to change default browser to Firefox.

    Hi,
    I've upgraded our Solution Manager 7.0 to EHP1. Most of the applications that I use: sld, smd, user admin, etc. run fine in my default browser, Firefox.
    But when I use a workcenter, RCA for example, and I open a webdynpro application which runs on a separate browser window, Internet Explorer is always used. How can I change this behaviour to choose the right default browser ?
    Regards,
    Joan

    Hi Joan,
    You can set in your Firefox. Go to Tools->Options. Choose the Main tabs, then press button Check Now in system default and if your firefox not set as default browser you will be asked to change the default browser from IE to firefox. I've been using firefox as default browser to test workcenter service.
    Hope it helps.
    Rgds,
    Desty.

  • How do i change my default browser from yahoo to safari ?

    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.

  • 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 set the default to adobe 9.3?

    How do I set the default to Adobe 9.3?  I have Acrobat 6.0 that tries to open. However, I want the Adobe Reader 9.3 to open.  How do I make this change?

    I had the exact same problem.....iinstalled on a Windows XP machine
    You probably had 9.3 already installed, then you pulled out your 6.0 Acrobat Professional disk and installed that.
    What you need to do is "remove" your Adobe 9.3.
    Re-start your machine.   Then reload Adobe ...try Adobe 8.
    Now it won't use Acrobat 6.0.    At this point, select an existing PDF file, RIGHT click, select "Open With...".    You won't probably see Acrobat 6.0 so you have to "BROWSE" ... find Adobe, then find "6.0".    Select.
    At this point Adobe 8 will be your default, but, you can always select 6.0 by "right clicking" the PDF first, when you want to.

  • Netscape mail wont use firefox as default browser even though set up as default browser in firefox.

    I want to continue using Netscape Mail 7.2, but when I click on a web link I want it to use Firefox browser. I set Firefox as default browser in Firefox options, but it is not staying set when I look again. I don't know if Netscape is resetting it or what.
    Please help.
    Thanks,
    Stan

    I had the same problem, I just forgot how to fix it. I did it once a while ago but just recently the problem had returned. The first link in vineelreddyp's post solved the problem for me.
    Just as an FYI for people, when OSX does software updates it includes Safari updates. When it completes a Safari update it resets all the Safari settings (they recently upgraded to Safari 5.0), including default browser.
    So anyway, FYI about that. ;-)

  • How do I set the default welcome page for PUBLIC user

    gurus,
    i'm using -
    Oracle 9i Database
    Oracle 9ias Portal Release 2
    QUESTION => how do I set the default welcome page for the PUBLIC user.
    i did the following to achieve this -
    1. logged into portal
    2. clicked on builder
    3. clicked on administer tab
    4. selected PUBLIC user in the Portal User Profile portlet
    5. went to the preferences tab
    6. in the default home page selected a custom page group
    7. logged out of portal
    8. open a new browsere session
    9. type the portal URL and i get the login page ....??
    i'm unable to understand this behavior ... shouldn't i be getting the page group that i set for the PUBLIC user in step 6 above ....
    the second QUESTION is => when the user logs out he/she should see the PUBLIC page set in step 6 above ... but, instead the user sees a page that is as follows -
    Partner Application Name Logout Status [Logout Status]
    Oracle Portal (portal) logout status
    The SSO Server (orasso) checkmark
    buzz.resva.trw.com:7778 checkmark
    infrastructure.happy.resva.trw.com checkmark
    portal1.buzz.resva.trw.com checkmark
    portal2.sylvester.resva.trw.com checkmark
    sylvester.resva.trw.com:7778 checkmark
    so, how can i set the default page for the PUBLIC user and also a page when he user logs out.
    ideas anyone ....?
    thanx a bunch.
    hero

    Hi,
    The sequence of operation you are doing to set the home page for public users is correct. You are getting the login screen as the "custom page group" selected as "home page" has not been granted to public.
    Also, while logging-out, it is normal behaviour to get the screen where it shows the list of partner applications from where user has been logged-out. When you click on "Return" button, you will get to the "home page" set above.
    Hope it clarifies the things.

  • How can I set the default line height?

    Greetings,
    I have a report that displays observed behavior in a list format like the one below:
    Behavior Observed:   
        Withdrawn           
        Happy
        Sad
        angry
    There are 5 responses as to the severity of the behavior or it is left blank if the behavior was within normal limits.
    So the output would look like this:  
    Behavior Observed:   
        Withdrawn            (mild)
        Happy
        Sad                      (moderate)
        angry
    The problem is that when this report was designed the details sections were not uniformy formatted and the spacing between data elements is hard to follow from the label to the data field.  I tried to set the details to be uniform by selecting "Arrange Lines",  however when I do this, the data is displayed too close horizontally.  So my question is how do I set the default line height for each field so that they are uniform in distance from each other but not too close due to the font height?
    Does this make sense?
    Thank you,
    Kevin

    I'm confused... How are you associating line height with horizontal field spacing???
    If you have this...
    Behavior Observed:     Severity:
    Withdrawn          (mild)
    Happy
    Sad               (moderate)
    angry
    But want it to look like this...
    Behavior Observed:
    Withdrawn (mild)
    Happy
    Sad (moderate)
    angry
    all you have to do is create a concatenation formula. Something like this...
    {TableName.BehaviorObserved} & " (" & {TableName.Severity} &")"
    Sorry if I've misunderstood what you are trying to do.
