360 does not support firefox as default browser how to solve?

360 net shield, does not support default Firefoxbrowser , every error, and the failure of prompt, you can help me solve it? Unable to set Firefox as the default browser....Thank you ..

The user agent string may have been modified, try resetting it as shown here - [[Websites or add-ons incorrectly report incompatible browser]]

URL links provided in emails (Windows Mail) stopped working. I get a popup message: "Windows cannot find...." asking me to make the URL is correct. I connect to Internet Explorer, but not Firefox, my default browser.

I have already updated Firefox to latest version and reset the default mail program to Windows Mail. But Windows Mail now doesn't want to recognize Firefox. If I shift to Internet Explorer, I have no problem. I have no problem receiving or sending emails, just using links contained in them.
This happened suddenly, two days ago, at the end of a day when linking had been possible, per usual.

nothing that I could find would solve my problem, so I just gave up trying...
then I had a group of Microsoft Updates badly interact with each other, causing me all kinds of stability problems involving SQL and printer drivers.
To fix those issues, I backed out all updates within the prior two months, then [slowly and painfully!] reinstalled them -- when done in groups, you can tell how Microsoft corrects bad updates by noting which ones are not reinstalled.
I also had to download and install every single MS SQL update available before everything that was broken worked again. Note that none of the updates had titles that suggested anything at all to do with web browsing (other than Internet Explorer) or Firefox.
There was also at least one Firefox update shortly after my re-installation of Windows Updates.
Funny thing happened along that path: as of today (version 32.0.1) has none of the problems I reported, but I cannot say for certain which change fixed them: I was far more concerned fixing SQL and printer issues to even test Firefox for default file association settings.
Sorry that I cannot be more useful, other than the general suggestions to:
(1) keep your system fully updated with all patches
(2) keep your anti-virus, anti-malware, and anti-spybot software current as well
(3) keep any program that uses HTML and other browser protocols also up to date
(4) take regular snapshots of your registry, and create a system restore point before every system and software update, so you can more easily back out problems
(5) keep the installation package(s) for prior version(s) of software (and Windows Update files) at least until you verify an update hasn't broken anything.
Hope that helps.

Windows Phone was not supposed to get LTE support until Apollo

"In late 2011, one of the sticking points for Verizon Wireless in broadly adopting Windows Phone was the lack of 4G LTE support. AT&T also took issue with this missing feature as strategically they are looking to offload network congestion to their new high-speed spectrum."
http://www.wpcentral.com/windows-phone-was-not-suppose-get-lte-till-apollo
Once again, VZW - help us understand your line in the sand with taking on some new Windows Phone? "Oh, we are still waiting for Apollo?!?" Every day on any given WP Forum I see more and more Verizon customers leaving for Pink or AT&T. The AT&T Stores are having a field day with this information, too!

So let's see who came up with the 2% growth number for Windows Phone?
Oh, that would be Strategy Analytics: http://www.strategyanalytics.com/
The same Strategy Analytics who came up with: http://www.strategyanalytics.com/default.aspx?mod=reportabstractviewer&a0=6938
Written by a doorknob in the UK named Stuart who used to work for Apple (and has no Microsoft exposure): http://www.strategyanalytics.com/default.aspx?mod=biography&a0=728
In reality, as a public company, Verizon has not much say in terms of what devices they get to carry. They can put their own spin on things as they communicate to their board - but it's the board and investor folk who drive the decisions. Wishful thinking that these investors would read the good things about the Windows Phones. High customer sat, customer friendly OS, easy to support, low end to high end device options, etc. Unfortunatly, most of the investors are punch drunk on their Droid cocktails and are currently enjoying a high percent of Verizon Droid customers. In addition, stupid things that Microsoft did - like the KIN phones - do nothing but leave Verizon investors and board members burn victims.

I have followed all the instructions Mozilla provides in its Help section but somehow I can not break the link between Windows and Internet Explorer.

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".

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.

How do I make Mozilla Firefox my default browser?

I have a Samsung Galaxy S5 that I not only had to use my insurance on after only 4 months and get another one BUT then they decided to update it to this "New Lollipop" software!!!
The irony to all of this is, I'm not a computer and an Android tech savy person at all!!! I went from an iPhone to the Samsung because of well....it was an economically better choice- more GB, almost the same apps if not better or darn close, and last but not least CHEAPER :)
I love Apple products but let's face it, you're paying for the NAME!
Oh and Mozilla, You Guys ROCK!!!!

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 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.

Netscape mail wont use firefox as default browser even though set up as default browser in firefox.

I want to continue using Netscape Mail 7.2, but when I click on a web link I want it to use Firefox browser. I set Firefox as default browser in Firefox options, but it is not staying set when I look again. I don't know if Netscape is resetting it or what.
Please help.
Thanks,
Stan

I had the same problem, I just forgot how to fix it. I did it once a while ago but just recently the problem had returned. The first link in vineelreddyp's post solved the problem for me.
Just as an FYI for people, when OSX does software updates it includes Safari updates. When it completes a Safari update it resets all the Safari settings (they recently upgraded to Safari 5.0), including default browser.
So anyway, FYI about that. ;-)

Can't Make Firefox My Default Browser

I like Safari just fine but I want to make Firefox my default browser, OK? OK. Good.
Now then, how do I tell Safari to STOP being my default browser?
I have Firefox installed on the Mac and in its preferences, it thinks it's the default browser.
So I went to Safari's preferences to make sure it doesn't still think IT's the default browser, but it does. So I went to the "general" tab under preferences. I see "Safari" as the default browser. I click the drop-box to choose a different application. Only "Firefox" is not listed anywhere among the applications.
I installed Firefox from one of those "hard drive" like icons on my desktop. It runs fine from an icon in the dock. But near as I can tell, it's not listed among the applications on "Macintosh HD/Applications" directory. I suspect getting it listed there is going to be the first step in solving my default browser problem.
So, what do I have to do to get "Firefox" listed among my applications, and then what else do I have to do to get it to be the default browser?
Thanks,
--PS

No problemo, sorry about that.
There is also a "Firefox.dmg" file on my desktop... I can tell that's not a .app, but... what is it exactly?
The .dmg file is a disk image file. That is the format a lot of programs you download will be in. Some open by themselves to reveal the .app file some you have to double click.
Double click on the firefox.dmg file. That should bring up a window that has a file called firefox.app. Right click with your mouse if you have one and drag it to the applications folder in your finder window.
If you do not use a mouse put your cursor over thefirefox.app file. Now hold down the trackpad button and the ctrl key. Now you can use the trackpad to drag the file to the applications folder and drop it there.
I prefer to not have any programs on the desktop. I like to use the dock to hold my favorites. Then the ones I don't use very often I just open from the applications folder.
