  • How to make Firefox the default browser for Hotmail

    I recently uninstalled Safari because I want to use Firefox as my default browser. Previously when I click the Mail button in Windows Live Messenger, the mac would automatically open my hotmail in Safari. Now that I have uninstalled it, when I click on the Mail button, it opens up with TextEdit. How do I make it open with Firefox?
    Any help is much appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Joe

    OK I'll post there also but I'm aware of the preferences section in Safari... thing is, when I choose to make Firefox the default browser, it resets back to Safari when I turn off the computer and turn it back on. Everytime. And it does my head in
    I heard of a program called More Internet that I heard could help slove the problem but I can't understand how to use it, nor is there any forum or any way to contact anyone who knows. It's driving me up the wall.
    So I'm hoping there's another way that someone in the world knows.

  • How do you change the default setting for RTF documents from TextEdit to MS Word

    How do you change the default setting for RTF documents from TextEdit to MS Word, I download forms from the Canadian government and they use RTF as a standard, they are supposed to open as MS Word documents (Yes I have Office for MAC 2011) but when download the document it goes to TextEdit which messes up the form format. I can down load it right click and go "open with" MS Word but how can I get the default chnaged to save this step.

    Thanks I knew this, I like Safari as I want to keep everything MAC, but if I use Firefox the documents open in MS Word straight away, I was just curious if there was some setting I could change?
    In Firefox > Preferences, click the Applications tab. If RTF is there, use the pulldown menu in the Action column to pick MS Word. If RTF is not there, there are instructions here for how to add file types.

  • How can I change the default setting for downloading photos from email?

    How can I change the default setting for downloading photos from emails I receive?  It shows the default as Photoshop Elements 4.0 and is not supported by this system.  That was my last computer!!
    Thanks,

    That has nothing to do with styles nor Pages, it is a System/Printer Driver setting.
    You can experiment to see if the Printer Settings stick with your document, but in the past this has not worked.

  • In Elements 13, how do I turn off default setting that sends my usage info to Adobe?

    In Elements 13, how do I turn off default setting that sends my usage info to Adobe?
    Vendors of proprietary software want to track everything you do.  Adobe says that it is possible to turn off sending info to them, but doesn't include any info on how to do it.

    Go to the main page of adobe.com and sign in if you aren't already signed in, then click Manage Account>Sign In again>Security & Privacy>Desktop App Usage Information.

  • How can I make "big" the default setting for printing in iCal?

    When I print a calendar from iCal, there is an option to set the test size as small, medium or big?  Each time I launch iCal it resets this to "small."  If there a way to change this such that the preference is for "big?"

    Make that "Firefox ->Preferences -> General -> When Firefox starts: "Show my windows and tabs from last time" is not selected as this is not the default.
    Basically this setting will make Firefox start with whatever windows and tabs that were last open when a user closes Firefox by way of File ->Quit/Exit as if Firefox was never closed.

  • Where can I change Firefox 4 default setting for proxy servers

    I am working on setting up firefox 4 in a multi user environment in linux. In FF 3.x releases, I could go to greprefs/all.js area and make the changes in the all.js file to chagne settings globally. But, I could not find any such file for firefox 4.x installation (for linux).
    Would you please advise where can I go about editing global setting in Firefox 4?
    thanks.

    Maybe it works if you create file and place a files with the prefs in the defaults/pref folder.
    You can use a mozilla.cfg file to lock prefs or specify default values.<br />
    You can place a file local-settings.js in the defaults\pref folder to specify using mozilla.cfg.
    You can use these functions in mozilla.cfg:
    defaultPref(); // set new default value
    pref(); // set pref, but allow changes
    lockPref(); // lock pref, disallow changes
    To prevent users from installing software use:
    lockPref("xpinstall.enabled" ,false);

  • Google search in MacOS - how to make firefox the default browser?

    Hi there!
    I tried to address my issue looking in the forum as well as other websites; not too fruitful.
    In most of the applications in MacOS, let's say in mail, when you open an email and select a word or a sentence, ctrl+click, you can "search in google" for what is highlighted.
    Although my default web browser is Firefox (everytime I click a URL, firefox opens), every time I use the 'search in google' option, safaris pops up.
    Any hints? any way to get the OS to search in google using firefox by default?
    Thanks!

    no. this particular function is hard coded into OS X apps like Mail. it therefore doesn't matter what your default browser is, google search will always use safari.

  • How can you change the default setting for the alarm for new events?

    When I create a new Event, it will create an alarm that will activate 15 minutes before the event. I'd like to change the settings so the default setting would be that when I create a new event it will activate 1 day before the actual event. Is it possible to change this? Thanks.

    Greetings, David.
    alarm...activate 1 day before the actual event. Is it possible to change this?
    Sure.
    _Go to iCal > Preferences > General >"Add a default alarm to all new events and invitations"
    _Change the current value from 15 minutes to whatever minute value you like (1440 for 24 hours).
    _Of course this will only affect NEW events. Not those already created.
    _Close the window and your done.
    Hope that helps.

  • How to make 32-bit-only add-ons work with Windows 7, Internet Explorer 11 and Enhanced Protected Mode enabled?

    Hi everybody,
    in IE10 I had the chance to use 32-bit-tabs even with EPM. In IE11 my 32-bit add-ons are all marked as "incompatible".
    Do you have any suggestions?
    Regards, Don

    Hi Don,
    The ”Enhanced Protected Mode ” feature of  Internet Explorer 11 in Windows 7 has been simplified and it doesn`t provide the “Enable 64-bit processes for Enhanced Protected Mode” feature. The Enhanced Protected  Mode is based on the 64 bit process.
    So that may be the reason.
    Here is a link for reference of Enhanced Protected Mode :
    Enhanced Protected Mode
    http://blogs.msdn.com/b/ie/archive/2012/03/14/enhanced-protected-mode.aspx
    Here is another link for reference(Pay attention Windows 7 part in the end) :

  • After uninstalling nightly, I can no longer set firefox as default browser for email links and they no longer open.

    When I try to change the default firefox protocols in windows, only the nightly shows and I can not unclick it. When I attempt to click on a link in an email (Windows Live) I get "Class not registered"
    I presently have IE set as my default because it is the only possible way to open email links.

    You can install both win32 and win64 Firefox Nightly builds on a 64-bit Windows computer. As you should know, all Firefox nightly builds are intended for testing only. If you downloaded your Firefox nightly build from http://nightly.mozilla.org/ then you got the win32 installer. (win64 installers are available from http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/latest-mozilla-central/ and possibly elsewhere: [http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?p=12694481#p12694481 ref.])
    Anyway, the bug report I referred to earlier ([https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=870312 Bug 870312] - Installing Nightly causes "Class not registered" error on click on link in other apps after uninstall) fits your issue ("broken" uninstaller). It was triaged as a "Shell Integration" Firefox bug for x86_64 Windows 8.
    Whether you had the 32-bit or 64-bit Firefox nightly installed, you can try reinstalling a more recent build of that, and then uninstall it again. That worked for a Windows user who had problems uninstalling Firefox Nightly x64 as reported in this thread:
    *http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=23&t=2473175
    If that doesn't work, also try reinstalling Firefox 25, to see if that helps matters.
    I'm not the best person to help you, though, since I'm not testing Firefox nightly on my Win7 x64 computer. Hopefully someone will be along that can help you better, or you could try on the MozillaZine Firefox Builds forum (it's linked from the nightly.mozilla.org page).

  • How do I change the default setting for font size when emailing?

    I have Firefox 3.6.13. The default now is 10 and I'd like it 12.

    Firefox has no email features, it is just a web browser. Any email settings will be part of the email service that you are using, you will need to contact the support for the email service to see how to change the default font size in emails.

  • The add-on "Expire history by days" doesn't work for me. How to make firefox remember my history for longer?

    Hi, With the recent updates firefox no longer keeps my browsing history for over 7 days. It makes things difficult for me because I could no longer keep track of some of the things I do. Is there any way to keep the browsing history longer?
    Someone previously suggested the add-on "Expire history by days". It sometimes would keep the history for over a month and the next day all history older than a few days are completely gone! Any help is greatly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.

    Firefox keeps both bookmarks and history in the same database a file called ''places.sqlite''.
    The addon may in fact restrict the options and prevent Firefox storing more History.
    Try using the addon ''Places Maintenance'' and run the report option BEFORE and after any repair attempt. It may not help but at least produces a short potentially useful report in simple text format. You can paste the reports into your next reply.
    * https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/places-maintenance/
    Note both addons are by the same person, someone that has worked on Firefox and the author even added a warning
    * https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/expire-history-by-days <blockquote>Warning: the Places expiration system works to provide you the best performances in an automatic way. Using this add-on to override its functionality, may create unexpected performance problems and is not needed.

    You apparently already have plans regarding freeing up space.
    If you are short on free space on the hard disk History is the least of your concerns. Window XP is happiest with at least 20-25% free space. Defrag attempts will fail at about 12%. Do not use the hibernate option if low on disk space, because that will free up an amount equivalent to the RAM memory installed. Defrag if you can.
