Internet Explorer is my default browser when I open iCal, how can I change it since it is always crashing?

I have ical pinned to my task bar, but when it opens, it opens in internet explorer. This is really annoying since it is always crashing and never loads properly. I use Chrome mostly, but also Firefox as a backup. If there is any way to change this, please let me know.

Hopefully this support article is what you need:

Can I download Firefox and keep Internet Explorer as my default browser?

I am being prompted to install Firefox to use the MobileMe site with my IPAD. Before I download, I'd like to know if I can KEEP Internet Explorer as my Default Browser. I am NOT great with my computer and therefore would have difficulty fixing any technical challenges.

Yes you can keep IE as your default browser when installing Firefox, just answer NO when Firefox asks if you want to set it as the default browser.
What's that about the iPad? You can't install either IE or Firefox in the iPad, neither has a version for iOS.

Click the Firefox button, go to Add-ons, then Plugins and disable "'''My Web Search'''". This is adware which runs in the background and spends its time trawling the web searching for ads to feed you.
Also, something shows in your system details with the number '''2,5,3,1 '''. Can you tell me what that is please? It's located in the same Plugins menu.
Similarly, I see three versions of Veetle. Disable the older ones if you don't need them.
On the security side, your Flash player is out of date and exposes your system to exploits. See: http://www.adobe.com/support/security/bulletins/apsb11-12.html (Update link near the foot of the page).
If the problem persists, try running Firefox in [[Safe Mode]]. If it functions properly in that configuration, then one of your add-ons is the culprit.

I changed language from EN-GB to EN-US but my keyboard is still British (only when using FF). How can I change it to EN-US? in English

Should I just export my bookmarks, uninstall and reinstall the proper version? That may just be shorter than anything else.

GREAT!. Thanks a lot for educating me. There seem to be a million things we have to learn about our computers and when we run into them the first time they seem insurmountable. You pointed me to the solution. Thanks again. Ben

When I want to attach a file to an e-mail I'm sending from my iCloud account it makes the file show up in the body of the e-mail instead of attaching it as a separate file the receiver can open. How can I change this?

It should be an attachment. Your Mac just displays a preview of certain attachments (such as .pdfs) in the body of the message. A PC, for example, will see it as an attached file rather than a preview.
You can save the attachment on your Mac by Control-clicking on it and selecting Save Attachment.

Sorry, you can't. Apps are forever tied to the Apple ID used to originally obtain them. They cannot be updated using any other Apple ID, nor can they be transferred to another Apple ID. You will have to update them using the ID used to originally obtain them.

Numerous websites linked to desktop icons won't open with Firefox as my default browser, but will when I subsequently designate Internet Explorer as the default browser. However, when I select IE, I cannot open Firefox. How do I fix this? CharlieA

When I designate Firefox as my default browser, I cannot open any destop link to any website, except Mozilla. When I change that designation to Internet Explorer, I can open all destop linked websites, except for Firefox. What do I do?

Sometimes Windows gives you weird error messages when you click a link in another program or double-click a desktop shortcut. These messages usually occur only when Firefox was closed and has to be launched before the link can be loaded. Is that what you're getting? This occurs when Firefox's registry settings get crossed up, as described in this article: [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Windows_error_opening_Internet_shortcut_or_local_HTML_file_-_Firefox Windows error opening Internet shortcut or local HTML file - Firefox - MozillaZine Knowledge Base].
If that isn't it, what happens exactly?

Clicking on a link does not open firefox and take me to the page when firefox is my default browser but does when Internet Explorer is my default browser, what is wrong?

All of a sudden (I think after the last firefox update) links in other web pages won't open firefox to access the page when firefox is my default browser but works when I change my default browser to Internet Explorer and I can't figure out why. Help!!!

This problem just arose for me today. Very frustrating. Tried all of the suggestions here without success. Then a very simple solution came to me:
UNINSTALL CHROME. I haven't used Chrome for a long while anyway since it seems to have chronic problems of one sort or another. Firefox does 95% of what I need, and Internet Explorer can handle the other 5%.
After uninstalling Chrome I clicked a mailto link. It asked me what program to use and did not list Firefox as an option for some reason. In the Tools menu, I chose "Options" and went to the "Applications" tab. Searched for "mailto". There was a single entry - when Chrome was installed it gave me no options to switch. After uninstalling Chrome I was able to change that. It still did not list Firefox, but it did list "Gmail". Selecting that causes my Gmail to open in Firefox.
I have no idea whether Google or Microsoft is responsible for this, but I'm inclined to give the hairy eyeball to Google for this one. It's the sort of stunt they'd pull on Microsoft, then pretend it was just a mistake. Just one guy's opinion, of course.

Flash Installer opens Internet Explorer instead of default browser

Every time I have installed Flash or installed an update, the installer concludes by opening my Internet browser to display its "Thank you and enjoy Adobe Flash Player. Here is another product that might interest you..." advert. The trouble is that it always opens it in Internet Explorer rather than my default browser. I never, ever use Internet Explorer since I consider it a major security risk and indeed the only time I ever see it is when I update Flash....
I've always wondered why the Flash Installer does this - every other program that opens a browser manages to open the default one, so how come Adobe's coders can't seem to manage it?

It typically opens the default browser regardless of which browser you're actually using. I'm wondering if there's a funky registry key or something that confuses things for your system.
Either way, we usually launch the default system browse, which is not necessarily the browser you started the installation with. This is a long-standing bad experience, and something that I complain to the team that makes the installer about on a regular basis. Everyone involved recognizes that the behavior is less than ideal, but it's a fundamental design problem and it's not something that can be addressed with a simple fix. It *is* very much on the radar as something that we want changed, and I'm pretty sure that it will get resolved in the installer over the long-term.
In the meantime, if you would like to avoid the Flash Player upgrade process entirely, Google Chrome includes Flash Player as a built-in component. There's nothing separate to download from Adobe, and all the updates are made available directly through Chrome's update mechanism.

A page on a website which opens fine in Internet Explorer does not display accurately in Firfox...how can I fix this?

I usually only use Firefox and don't compare screens between Internet Explorer and Firefox. However I was working on a website I am developing with a friend in Seattle and she sent me a trial and the pages don't fit on the screen right, for instance there is a return mail form that runs out of its box and leaves off the bottom of the page. She was having no trouble opening it on her computer (even in Firefox). It opens easily and correctly on my wife's computer in Internet Explorer, as it does on my computer. It is only in Firefox on my computer that it opens wrong. Also, and perhaps it is not related, opening videos in Firefox on my computer takes a long time when they open isntantly on my wife's computer in IE. I have more ready memory, more RAM and more graphics software on my computer than she does. Why should this be happening only in Firefox? I was so happy not using Internet Explorer any longer.
I have attached a link to a page that I am having trouble with. It is not the only one. My screen does not show me the bottom of the response form where I can submit the form. It only shows half of the image verification code and no place to submit. I bet when you open it up you will see the whole screen.

I am also having problems with a site I am building. No matter what websafe font I use it displays as New Times Roman in FireFox. The correct fonts show in both IE9 and Chrome.
In addition, text shifts in FireFox. I have to position other text objects farther and farther apart as I go down the page or they start to overlap. Nav buttons and other images also have to be positioned in the wrong place for them to be in the correct place when the page is opened in FireFox. FireFox should display pages correctly by default. I can't expect th average user to have to tweek his/her settings to display my site.
I have been recommending FireFox on my website as the best browser. I might have to change that and abandon FireFox myself.

Since I began to use Time Warner Cable internet connection, I find it difficult to get Firefox to open. Firefox.exe opens, but the browser window seldom opens. How can I fix this? I use Windows XP Home.

A few times, I have gotten Firefox to open.

Try changing firefox to the default browser: [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Setting_Your_Default_Browser]. That will probably get firefox to open when you dial up.
I'm not sure what you mean by "the meter accelerating the web page". Can you explain that?
Thank you

Itune was not installed and i defaulted to pictures to open iphone how do i change default to itune or nothing?

Itune was not installed and i defaulted to pictures to open iphone 5s in windows 8, how do i change default to itune or nothing?

You need to try and explain your problem again. I'm not exactly sure what you are trying to describe the problem as. What do you mean you defaulted pictures to open phone? What default are you referring to here?
You can import pictures from the Camera Roll of the iPhone to the computer, and you can sync pictures from the computer to the iPhone using iTunes, but I don't know what you mean when you say defaulted pictures.

When clicking on an attachment to an email, it will only save rather than save or open. How can I change the setting to allow me to open an attachment before deciding whether or not to save it?

There is a dialog box that appears when I click on an email attachment that asks whether to open or save a .pdf document, and whether I always want that action to be taken. However, when clicking a .doc or .docx document, I no longer have the choice. How can I revive the dialog box to choose to 'open' the file rather than being forced to 'save' the file?

Try to clear the cache.

You can rename such files with a .html file extension and give them a .jpg file extension to make applications see them as an image.<br />
If Windows is stubborn and keeps the .html file extension and you end up with image.jpg.html then add quotes around the name ("image.jpg")
