To clear cache and cookies do the following:
#Go to Firefox > History > Clear recent history or (if no Firefox button is shown) go to Tools > Clear recent history.
#Under "Time range to clear", select "Everything".
#Now, click the arrow next to Details to toggle the Details list active.
#From the details list, check ''Cache'' and ''Cookies'' and uncheck everything else.
#Now click the ''Clear now'' button.

[SOLVED] Firefox won't start - "Failed to execute default Web Browser"

I've just updgraded from Firefox 3 to version 4 (by running "pacman -Syu") on my 64-bit Arch installation. I started XFCE and Firefox 4 worked fine for a few minutes before crashing and closing automatically.
A short while later (long enough to forget exactly what I was doing when it crashed!) I tried to run it again, but got the error message Failed to execute default Web Browser. / Input/output error.
I've tried rebooting the PC and re-installing firefox & firefox-i18n, but still get the same error. If I run "firefox" from a terminal window, I get the following response:
OpenOffice path before fixup is '/usr/lib/openoffice.org3'
OpenOffice path is '/usr/lib/openoffice.org3'
*** NSPlugin Wrapper *** WARNING:(/build/src/nspluginwrapper-1.3.0/src/npw-wrapper.c:3160):invoke_NP_Initialize: assertion failed: (rpc_method_invoke_possible(g_rpc_connection))

OpenOffice path is '/usr/lib/openoffice.org3'
firefox: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libvlcplugin.so: undefined symbol: NPP_Initialize
I'm not sure why there are so many references to "OpenOffice"...
Can anyone offer any suggestions as to how to get Firefox working again? (Thanks in advance!)

Thanks for that. After I posted my last message, Firefox crashed again on a website containing embedded video. I disabled the add-on, but when VLC was updated, I guess it installed and enabled the add-on again. Firefox worked fine initially, but I've just tried to open it again and the same "input/output error" message appeared. I rebooted, but the problem persisted.
Uninstalling the vlc-plugin package seems to have resolved that, though.

Below is how it is being done. This worked perfectly for years. MS Office 2007 does complain that the file extension does not match the data format (it's a tab delimited text file but I'm pretending it's an Excel file so they'll be prompted to view it as a spreadsheet in Excel) but you just click open and it works fine. This issue with IE is new. Let me know if you have any more ideas.

Can't set Safari as default web browser

I recently installed Firefox as a back up web browser for when I have problems with Safari. Now whenever I click a link in an email it opens up Firefox even though Safari is already opened. My default web browser has set itself for Firefox and has even removed Safari as an option! I have to choose "Select" to get to my apps folder to choose Safari. But even then the email links insist on opening Firefox and when I restart my computer, Firefox is once again the seleceted browser in the Safari prefrences. How can I keep this from happening?

Hello Jazlow,
I believe to change the default browser all you have to do is open Safari -> Preferences -> General -> Default browser. That should change it for you.
Didn't finish reading the last post. You can try to delete the firefox preference file org.mozilla.firefox.plist or using a program like pref setter to edit the apple.safari.plist though I wouldn't recommend that unless your very familiar with the OS. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

How to set my default web browser

I remember choosing between Netscape and Internet Explorer my default browser nearly four years ago. Now I can't remember how to do it again. My browsers currently are Netscape 7.2 and IE 5.2.3.
Thanks in advance.

Never mind, friends.
I got a clue from doing a search on "default browser". Hello!
It's System Preferences/Internet --> Web tab --> Default Web Browser.

SPYBOT WILL NOT ALLOW YOUR LATEST FIREFOX4 ( MOZILLA FIREFOX DOWNLOAD LATEST VERSION WEB BROWSER

THIS MORNING YOUR ADVERT FOR FIREFOX 4 APPEARED . I TRIED 3 TIMES TO DOWN LOAD YOUR MOZILLA FIREFOX DOWNLOAD LATEST VERSION WEB BROWSER > . EACH TIME SPYBOT SHOWED ENCOUNTERED & TERMINATED A PROCESS THAT IS LISTED AS PART OF A MALICIOUS SOFTWARE ) ( PUBLISHER PINBALL CORPORATION ) 9 IDENTIFIED AS PBHOTBAR . SEARCH ASSISTANT ) ( FOR OVER FIVE YEARS NOW I HAVE HAD INSTALLED SPYBOT & AVG > ( I HAVE NEVER HAD ANY DOWNLOAD PROBLEMS WITH YOUR PRODUCTS PLEASE ADVISE ??? )

First, as a matter of etiquette, typing ALL CAPS on-line generally indicates that you are yelling at someone. Please use upper and lower case when posting. '''''Thanks'''''
Your User-agent string indicates that you have the latest version, Firefox 4.0.1 installed; to see your User-agent string reported when you posted your question, click on "More system details..." to the right of your original post, scroll to the bottom of that display it shows: 
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:2.0.1) Gecko/20100101 '''''Firefox/4.0.1'''''
To check your version click the Firefox button > Help > About Firefox (or on the Menu Bar click Help > About Firefox) to see a display of your Firefox version. See: https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Finding+your+Firefox+version
A little information about anti-virus/anti-spyware.
First rule in using anti-virus/anti-spyware applications/programs: Never have more than one in active/real-time/on-access state checking everything as your are on-line. One can interfere with the other and the result can be less rather than more protection. Check your settings in Spybot and AVG and be sure that only one is set up for active/real-time/on-access scanning. If you have questions about how to check, go to the forums for Spybot and AVG and ask for assistance.
Second rule. No single anti-virus/anti-spyware application is 100% correct, 100% of the time. Some virus-signatures can result in "false positives". However, using Google I found that Spybot and McAfee both added "PBHotbar.SearchAssistant" to their '''''adware''''' definitions on March 9, 2011. (See: https://computersavvy.wordpress.com/2011/03/09/new-spybot-%E2%80%93-search-destroy-definition-update-available-2011-03-09/ and http://www.nutnworks.com/forums/threads/33947-Re-McAfee-Updates ) There may be other firms that added a malware/virus definition for "PBHotbar.SearchAssistant" under another name. '''''Adware''''' is designed to track your on-line activities, in this case your search activity, for the purpose of delivery advertising on pages that you visit. Somewhat benign, but do you want someone silently tracking your internet activity? Your decision as to whether to keep that Add-on.

Changing Default Web Browser After Reboot

Hello,
I am using Webkit as my default browser and every time I reboot the machine, it keeps changing my default web browser back to Safari.
I have used the settings in the preferences pane in Safari and applied the changes and after reboot it still occurs. I have read somewhere (I do not remember what website) that FileVault has something to do with resetting my saved settings. I do have FileVault enabled on my system.
Thanks for your help,

Safari prefs show zsh in default web browser

I have uninstalled firefox and trashed all preferences and the application support folder. Now for some reason, in Safari preferences in the default web browser drop-down there is an item labeled with a folder named 'zsh'. This shows up along with Safari. When I install Firefox it goes away and changes back to Firefox. Not a big deal but I would like to get rid of the zsh since Firefox has been uninstalled. Anyone else see this?

Well, no responses and couldn't find a **** thing on how to fix this. My obsessive compulsive behavior prevailed and I reinstalled the OS.

Launch a default web browser from my java application

Hello,
I have been trying to launch my default web browser from my java application, but am unable do it. Right now, I am using ---- "Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd /c start <url>"); to launch my webbrowser. It launches the browser but displays the command prompt for a second or so, and then replaces my already existing page with the new url.
Is there any way for me to launch the url in a completely new browser each and every time. And I don't want the command prompt to show up for a sec. Please help...!
Thanks in advance.

If by any chance your application is an Applet, you can use this to open a new browser window:
getAppletContext().showDocument(new URL(theUrl), "_blank");
But, you probably would have specified if that were the case. Oh well. Hope it helps someone!

On opening default web browser in P1i shows error as "Corrupt"

Hi All,
I am Mahesh. This is my first thread in this forum. I have Sony Ericsson P1i. I purchased it 2 and half years ago.
Whenever i open the default web browser. i get the error saying "Corrupt". Can you guys suggest me how to fix this problem or reinstall the browser again?
Although i have Opera mini but this default browser is required for me because Track ID (which recognises the song) uses this default browser.
Thanks in advance.

Try updating or re-installing the phone's software using the SE update service on your PC, and see if this restores the browser.

HT4818 I have installed bootcamp that worked properly. Then I have partitioned the OS X 10.8.2 and installed another OS X 10.8.2 and I have got two MAC boot options and Bootcamp disappeared from the Option menu. How can I boot Windows again and keep both

I have installed bootcamp by the bootcamp assistant and worked properly.
Then I have partitioned the OS X 10.8.2 and installed another Mountain Lion System and I have got two MAC boot options and Bootcamp disappeared from the Option menu. However, Bootcamp still remained in the Startup Disk in the System Preferences. When I tried to boot Bootcamp using the Startup Disk it did not boot and received a message that there is no bootable device. I have not lost any data and can read Bootcamp partition from both OS X systems. Please advise how can I boot Windows / Bootcamp again? Thank you.

Recommendation 1: Use a VM for this. It's essentially a giant C.F. to do this with native booting, and is potentially fragile.
But if you're going to ignore that and do this anyway, realizing that it can break anytime in particular with OS upgrades, and that it's very difficult to impossible to resize the three volumes once you've installed the systems:
1. create three partitions, setting each to be the size for OS X copy 1, copy 2, and Windows respectively. The Windows partition needs to be set to MS-DOS format (actually FAT32) which later in the Windows installer you'll reformat as NTFS. Do not use Boot Camp Assistant to resize/partition the disk, it simply won't work for this use case.
2. install OS X copy 1
3. install OS X copy 3
4. Use gdisk (available at sourceforge) which is a command line only application, to create a new hybrid MBR adding only the last partition (Windows) to the hybrid MBR and setting it to be bootable. As a concequence you will not be able to see/share either OS X volume from within Windows. The Windows NTFS volume will be visible from within OS X.
5. Install Windows to the only partition its installer should see (confirm size), you'll need to format it NTFS first, and I suggest using the fast format option if available.
