I want to set up Safari as my default browser

I want to set up Safari as me default browser. I also have firefox and somehow firefox is the default browser. It seems that I cannot print things out from firefox?

Try this. In Safari, go to Preferences (in the "Safari" menu). Go to the "General" pane and look at the top for "Default web browser". Use this pull-down menu to set the default ot Safari.
Hope that helps!

Hello Irvkor,
You can set up your default mail client in Mail.
Open Mail
In the menu bar choose Mail... > Preferences
In the Preferences pane choose General and in the Default email reader menu select your email client
Quit Mail
Now when you click on a link in Safari that email client will open.
Hope this will help.

Is there a way to to set up safari for automatic private browsing?

Without having to select it from the safari tab each time you launch the app.?
Automatically.

Is there a way to to set up safari for automatic private browsing... Without having to select it from the safari tab each time you launch the app.?
Here's one option...
Follow these steps to ensure that Private Browsing is turned on automatically each time Safari launches:
1) Under System Preferences > Universal Access, check "Enable access for assistive devices."
2) Copy the code below and paste it into your AppleScript Script Editor, located in your Applications > AppleScript folder:
*activate application "Safari"*
*tell application "System Events"*
*tell process "Safari"*
*click menu item "Private Browsing…" of menu 1 of menu bar item "Safari" of menu bar 1*
*if exists button "OK" of window 1 then*
*click button "OK" of window 1*
*end if*
*end tell*
*end tell*
From the Script Editor's File menu choose Save As > File Format: application, and leave the Options unchecked. Place the saved script in your User > Library > Scripts folder, or in some other out-of-the-way place on your hard drive.
3) Download and install Do Something When. Set up a new rule with Do Something When and configure it to open the newly saved AppleScript app when Safari launches.
Works for me, using Mac OS 10.4.11.
Best regards... Good luck.

Thanks.

After installing the safari update for windows, outlook is now not opening email hyperlinks. I have set safari to be my default browser but outlook won't open it when I click a link. I get the following message: "This operation has been canceled due to restrictions in effect on this computer. Please contact your system administrator." Please help.

Hi mcclausky, you may need to manually remove a policy setting from the registry. You also should scan for malware that might have created this problem.
This article lists scanning and cleaning tools other Firefox users have found helpful: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]].
To check your Windows registry for policy settings that might affect Firefox or other programs, I suggest consulting a Windows forum or Microsoft's forums. For example:

Can't set Safari as true default browser in windows xp

I'm running WindowsXP, and I installed the latest version of Safari. No matter what I do, it won't become the true default browser. I tried using the Safari preferences approach which only has one effect - it changes the icon at the top of the start button task bar to Safari. However, all my links from the desktop, from start...run <type url>, and from MS Outlook all lauch IE. I've also tried changing all the settings in the start...set program access and defaults and nothing will make Safari my default browser.

I don't have access to "Set Programs and Defaults" on my machine. Safari's ability to set itself as web browser, at least on Windows XP, seems to be broken. But I found a workaround. Install Firefox, let it set itself as default browser. Your hyperlinks and such should open in Firefox. Uninstall Firefox. Open up Safari, go to preferences and make sure Safari is set as default browser. Then, at least for me, the hyperlinks started opening in Safari. If you go into Safari and set Internet Explorer as default, you'll probably hose the setup and have to do it again.

Safari Not Staying Default Browser

No matter how many times I reset my default browser back to Safari, it always changes back to Firefox. This happens if Firefox is opened, or if I restart my computer. Either way, it's very annoying and highly inconvinent.
I read some guy back in 2008 had this problem, and it just randomly got fixed. Any ideas, anyone?
Thanks,
Mark

Repairing the permissions of a home folder in Lion is a complicated procedure. I don’t know of a simpler one that always works.
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the page that opens.
Drag or copy — do not type — the following line into the Terminal window, then press return:
chmod -R -N ~
The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. When a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) appears below what you entered, it’s done. You may see a few error messages about an “invalid argument” while the command is running. You can ignore those. If you get an error message with the words “Permission denied,” enter this:
sudo !!
You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up.
Next, boot from your recovery partition by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
When the recovery desktop appears, select Utilities ▹ Terminal from the menu bar.
In the Terminal window, enter “resetpassword” (without the quotes) and press return. A Reset Password window opens. You’re not going to reset the password.
Select your boot volume if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select  ▹ Restart from the menu bar.

If you are using JDS / Gnome as your desktop, go to
"Launch" / "Preferences" / "Desktop Preferences" / "Preferred Applications"
In the tab "Web Browser" you may secify a custom web browser with complete path to application.

Make Safari become the default browser vs. IE

Is it possible to make Safari the default browser instead of IE so when I click on Mail in the taskbar, Mail opens in Safari rather than Internet Explorer?

so I am going to accept this truth.
Thank you,

No. That's a browser-specific function. In fact, it's much better
to make the scrollbar visible on ALL pages than it is to try to hide

Question: how can I tell Bridge I want to set PS CS5 as the default program for opening .psd files

How do I change a specific file type association in Bridge CS5, namely the .psd file type? I had installed Photoshop CS6, but am unable to use it due to extreme slowness (another problem, not for this question). I have reverted to using Photoshop CS5 and Bridge CS5.
Now when I double-click on a .psd file in Bridge CS5 to open it (or right-click on the .psd file) , the file opens up in the glacially slow CS6. I went to edt>preferences>file type associations to change the association to Photoshop CS5, but .psd is not listed as a file type (.jpg and .dng and a host of other file types are listed). How can I change the association if I cannot find the file type? (BTW: I have changed the file type association in Windows Explorer; I am running Windows XP.) I know I can open PS CS5 manually and scroll to the image I want to open but, to my mind, that defeats one of the main purposes of Bridge.
Any advice you can offer would be gratefully received.
Thank you.
Heather

Win 7 works very goo on my home computer, much better security. One problem myslef inlcuded have had is files permissisons, especially on external drives, and you have to dig to china in the menus to fix it, or else you can't save over the same file name. So if you plan on upgrading do it on a day you can troublshoot to fix that annoyance, though at this point might be good to wait for win8.
