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?

  • How do I set Google as the default search engine in Firefox 5? I have tried several fixes but I keep getting a Yahoo search instead of Google.

    I want to use Google as my search engine but no matter what settings I change the default search engine is always Yahoo.
    Also I would like to have the feature back where when I open a new tab it shows frequently used pages that I can click on and open.

    '''Remove the Yahoo Toolbar'''
    # "Ctrl+Shift+A" (Add-ons Manager)
    # Select Puzzle piece on left-side for Extensions List
    # Find "Yahoo Toolbar" and click on "Uninstall" button

  • How can I connect to a different database schema,other than adobe?

    I'm building an application where I want to use a different database for it,for storing additional data for the users(different from "edcprincipaluserentity" table in "adobe" database stores)..How I can connect to my database schema created in MySQL from Workbench,to assign tasks to my users,using the Process Management/Assign Task service?

    You can only assign task to user that are known by the LiveCycle User Manager.
    When you configure LiveCycle, you can tell it where you want to get the users from. They can be created them locally in the local database, or synchronized from an LDAP directory in which case it'll read the users from LDAP and make a copy of some of the properties to the internal LiveCycle database.
    Bottom line, all users have an id (in the edcprincipalentity table) in the adobe database.
    If you need your users to come from a different database, then you need to customize the SPI (security provider interface) so that you can synchronize the users coming from your external database. Again, this is a customization since out of the box, we don't synchronize against external database. But it is possible, the API is there and other customers have done it.
    I hope this clarifies things a bit.

  • How do you set up two different ipads on one computer ?

    I purchased a new ipad for my wife and want to get her started but we both use one imac as our desktop system.  How do you set up two different uses on one computer.
    Thanks,
    Dave

    Other options not covered in the article:
    1) You can plug both in under the same computer username and same iTunes Apple ID and give each device it's own name. You should be able to manage them as separate devices with different media, apps and screen layouts. All of your media would be in a common pool, though.
    2) Under one computer username, you can login and logout of two different iTunes Apple IDs. This option is cleaner with two computer usernames but it can be done with one.

  • HT5569 How do I set iphone back to default or factory setting?

    How do I set iphone back to default or factory setting?

    There's some confusion here. Do you mean the code to visit settings/general/restrictions, or the Apple ID and password to deactivate Activation Lock? Here's how to test.
    First, go to settings/General/Restrictions. Do you need to enter a 4 digit code? If you do, then connect the phone to your computer and restore the phone from Recovery Mode as described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808.
    If no code is required to get into Restrictions what you need is the Apple ID and passcode that was used to set Find my iPhone. To verify that this is what is needed go to Settings/iCloud and turn off Find my iPhone. You will be prompted for your Apple ID and passcode. If you don't have them your phone is permanently disabled. You can contact Apple Account Security to prove you are the owner of the Apple ID and get the password reset.

  • How do i set the event duration default

    how do i set the event duration default on my iphone calendar.  it is preset to 1 hour and i want to change the dafault duration time

    Every Printer driver allow you to save a set of settings.
    For instance,
    I defined
    A4 black & white
    A4 colors
    listings black & white (which prints two pages on an A4 sheet)
    listing colors (which prints two pages on an A4 sheet)
    Do the same with your settings.
    Use the item Enregistrer or the item Enregistrer sous to save your settings.

    M Parker, 
    Yes, since you are trying to keep things separate, that is exactly what you would do.

  • Why can't FF successfully set itself as my default browser?

    Firefox 3.6.10 is unable to successfully set itself as my default browser.
    I'm running Win7/64 Enterprise SP1
    FF is set to check itself on startup, and each time reports that it is not the default browser, do I wish to set it so? I say "yes", but am asked next time anyway.
    If I then shut FF down immediately, then restart it, I am asked again.
    FF has an option to "check now" whether it is the default, under the Tools->Options->General tab.
    Clicking "Check Now" brings up that same dialogue.
    I click "Check Now", am told FF is not the default, do I want to set it so? I answer "Yes", the dialogue is dismissed.
    I then click "Check Now" again, and am again told that FF is not my default. (Yes, I am Administrator)
    Under Default Programs, FF is designated to handle FTP, HTTP and HTTPS protocols, and to open .htm and .html filetypes.
    As far as I can tell, FF acts as if it is the default browser. Why is its own check for same always coming up false?
    What does FF '''really''' check, if not the protocols and file associations?
    How can I make this stop?

    I already was administrator and general sysgod of my computer.
    I was provoked into trying related things at random, and here's what I came up with as a workaround:
    If you go into Control Panel->Default Programs -> Set Program Access and Defaults, there are three radio-button options: Microsoft, Non-Microsoft, and Custom.
    (Custom was already selected)
    With the Mozilla Options->Advanced window open, check the "Set as default browser", then click the "Check Now" button. It will report that FF is not your default browser, etc. Ecce quaestio, and all that.
    Back to "Set Program Access", click the "Non-Microsoft" button. Close it.
    Back to FF, and try "Check Now" again. Now it says "FF is already your default browser".
    Now RE-OPEN Control Panel and get back to "Set Program Access and Defaults". It's back to "Custom". But FF is apparently satisfied that it is the default now. Let's see if it stays that way.

    After the Firefox update this week (Sept 7?) links from emails won't open. I get an error message. So I've temporarily set IE as my default browser, and the links work.

    Hi everyone, I have Snow Leopard 10.6.8. I have been very very frustrated by this problem. [I could not create new windows, and anything that opens new windows, such as trying to see what Add-ons you have etc would not work]. I read about changing screen alignment to the top... I have one screen so the option does not exist. The above messages would not fix this problem. I searched hard and did find a solution in the end. I read stuff about removing Add-ons until the problem is fixed, but its simply not the case.
    First of all open Firefox. next go to options: Help --- 'Restart with Add-ons disabled'. Tick the box for add-ons, restart firefox. Next go to Tools --- Add-ons. Next (In the Add-ons Manager' click on 'Plugins' on the left hand side pane. Look for the small blue writing that says 'Check to see if your plugins are up to date'.
    Now notice it should say 'Missing Flash'. "For your safety, Firefox has disabled your outdated version of Flash. Please upgrade to the latest version". I followed this, reinstalled Flash and it now works as it always did, no problems. For people where the above fix didn't work, try this one out. Hope it helps people!
    :o)
