    You don't want to try to launch your site to full screen,
    honest, as you'd
    drive your (potential) visitors away.

  • 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

  • How do you make Firefox the default browser when the normal way doesnt work?

    Im trying completely from chrome after a friend showed my how much firefox has got its act together. However i cant for the life of me set it as the default browser. I have tried the "make firefox the default browser" button in firefox, which simply opens the windows default programs panel. Whenever i try to use the panel it simply sets the http protocol to nightly which isnt even installed!( http://puu.sh/2vJHM ) I think a possible fix would be to manually change the registry, but i wouldnt know where to start.

    Did you check the box on ''Options > Advanced > General >[X] "Always check to see if Firefox is the default browser on startup"?
    Have you restarted Firefox and if so, or when you do so, what does that section on the advanced Firefox options show?
    Have you tried restarting your system after setting the default browser using the second suggestion and, after restart, check the setting per the second suggestion to see if that setting is holding?
    Updating your Plugins would have no affect on the default browser question. It was something that you needed to do to avoid security issues online by using an out of date version of Java. Java is not involved in the default browser issue. That is why I separated it from the first part of the reply with a line and began with the word "Other".

  • How do you make google your homepage on firefox?

    I am having trouble trying to google my homepage, i know it sound silly but HOPEFULLY there is a simple way to do it, but i do not know how to do it on firefox,
    thanks....
    please help

    very easy. With Safari, go to Preferences, then General. there you should be able to set your homepage as Google. With Firefox, it's roughly the same, go to Preferences, then General. your homepage should be under the "startup" tab. I don't know why you can't find safari Preferences. Open up Safari, get it running,  on the left hand side of the screen under the word "safari" you will find the word "Preferences" or press command (Cloverleaf), then comma (,) to get to preferences. There is no video that will teach you everything about Mac, however, your local users' group or Apple store may be able to help you out. If you are lucky, you may also be able to find a helpful Mac user locally or here.
    My advice to you, coolcarrot905 is this: Practise, Practise, Ask Questions and Practise
    oh, and one last thing: very common mistake: this forum is for Mac Pro's, not Macbook Pro's. One is portable (the 2nd one) and one is not (the 1st one)

  • How do I make Firefox the browser but not make it the default browser?

    I want to use Firefox as the browser on some sites but not all. I don't want to make either Firefox or Internet Explorer as a default browser but use each on certaion web sites such as Google or MSN.

    For your choice of default browser, think about the one you want to handle links in other programs, such as word processors, Adobe Reader, or an external email program. Windows will use your default browser to open those links.
    Then when you want to visit a site in a preferred browser, open that browser and use its bookmarks or favorites to get there.

  • How can you make Firefox's settings the same on mulitple computers (not the same as sync)?

    I would like Firefox (version 4) to look and have the same settings on more than one desktop.
    This is not the same as 'sync' which just synchronizes your bookmarks, history, and passwords.
    I want the look and placement of all the toolbars, etc to be the same on all the computers in my house.
    Thank you!

  • How do you make all your icons on desktop and elsewhere show size etc?

    Hi,
    I can't remember how to show my disk size or how many items are in a folder. I have this feeling it's to do with Finder Preferences. You know how you have your hard drive listed and it will say 60GB in size or a folder in finder will say 14 items.

    Malcolm,
    Thanks, that's the tip I was trying to remember.

  • How can I make Firefox default browser for links in Earthlink emails? I have already verified that Firefox is my default browser, but clicking on links usually opens IE rather than Firefox.

    Basically I have verified that Firefox is my default browser and it works great. Earthlink is my default email program. About 70% of the time when I click on a link in an Earthlink email it opens with Firefox, but the other 30% of the time it opens with IE, which I don't want to happen. Is there any way to fix this?

  • How do you make all  your pictures the same size when making a movie?

    I am putting together a presentation with jpeg images and .mov files and when they play together in the movie, the .mov do not fill the screen like the jpeg images (which were put together in a movie) - any ideas?

    Mixing image and QuickTime video formats is a fun way to build custom movies. You need only understand the best method of organizing your project before starting in QuickTime Pro.
    Your image files should be sized to match your video dimensions. Scaling the video up in dimensions will degrade the video quality and you don't want that. Best to edit your JPEG files to the dimension and orientation of your video. Best to "crop" images that are shot in "portrait" mode and scale down in dimension those shot in "landscape" mode so you don't bloat the file size unnecessarily.
    When adding images to QuickTime files it's best to add them "scaled" to the audio track portion of the file. Since you also want to add existing "movies" I'm guessing you already have an audio track to use as a background track.
    Is this true? Are you using an audio track as the source for your image files and then dropping the existing movies into that finished project?
