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 to set Firefox as default browser in Mac OS X via console

I would like to set Firefox as default browser via the command line in Mac OS X. The goal is to enforce Firefox as default browser for all users of a Mac OS X system by means of a login script. I am also looking for a way to add Firefox to the user's dock from a login script.

Launch Safari and open its preferences. You set the default browser there.
Not very logical is it? I think a Microsoft plant came up with that one.

Remove Firefox as default browser

I do not want to have a default browser. Firefox is my current default browser and I want to remove it. How can I remove Firefox being my default browser, '''without''' making IE or any other as 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.

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.
Thanks!

How to set Firefox as default browser for Mail

When I click on links in Mail, they open in Explorer. So, I trashed Explorer, and now when I click on links I get "Mail was unable to open the URL. No associated application could be found."

How do I make Firefox the default browser in a non-administrative Windows XP account, where clicking to do so has no effect?

I have two accounts for myself on my PC running Windows XP. In the administrative account, Firefox is already the default browser that opens when I double-click an HTML file, etc. Firefox knows it's the default browser there.
In my other account, every time I start Firefox, it tells me it's not the default browser. Clicking there to make it the default, or in the options, does nothing.
When I go to Set Program Access and Defaults in the administrative account, "Use my current Web browser" is selected. Mozilla Firefox is not listed as an option. In my non-administrative account, the Add or Remove Programs control panel can't be used. It says I don't have permission.

To check that in the other account you would have to give it temporarily administrator permissions.

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".

Many site issues can be caused by corrupt cookies or cache. In order to try to fix these problems, the first step is to clear both cookies and the cache.
The Firefox cache temporarily stores images, scripts, and other parts of websites while you are browsing. <br>
Note: ''This will temporarily log you out of all sites you're logged in to.''
To clear cache and cookies, do the following:
#Tap the menu icon located at the top right corner. This is the icon with 3 bars. On older Android devices you'll have to press the hardware menu key and then tap More.
#Tap '''Settings'''.
#After that, you will be taken to the settings screen. In the settings screen, look under the section '''''Privacy & Security''''' and select '''Clear private data'''.
#You will then be taken to a list of what can be cleared. Select the following 2 for deletion:
#*Cookies & active logins
#*Cache
#After those have been selected, tap the '''Clear data''' button to actually clear the cache and cookies.
