Is Safari the only web browser supported on the iPad?

Just wondering if Firefox works on the iPad or ONLY Safari?

There is no Firefox for the iPad, but there are other browsers available in the App Store (just search for browser) e.g. Atomic Web, iCab, Mercury, Skyfire

Safari as standard web browser

After installing Firefox 2.0 on my pc, it has become impossible to make Safari my standard web browser. Even if I uninstall Firefox the only result is, that IE is set as standard browser.

Thanks. I tried both suggestions, but IE still pops up, when I click a hyperlink from my mail-program (Outlook 2002). Using Control Panel the option "Use current web browser" (which should be Safari) is persistently selected, when opening "Set Program Access and Defaults" again. Puzzling!

No Optimized web browser support on basic phones after 8/30/13?

Over the weekend I received a very disturbing message on my web browser. of my Samsung Gusto 2. It said that there would be no Optimized web browser support on basic phones after 8/30/13 and that if I wanted a good web browsing experience that I would have to upgrade to a smartphone. I am on the $50 unilmited talk,text,and web prepay plan but don'\t want to get stuck paying for a web browser I can't use after that date.A smartphone monthly plan would cost $10-20 more monthly,in addition to spending considerably more to buy a smartphone. I already have a tablet and was told a smartphone was unnecessary. Anybody else get this message?One person in customer service said that it was propaganda and not to believe it. Another person that I called later found the memo but had no further information on it at this time. Aparently Verizon likes to keep their customer service associates in the dark until last minute.No idea if they will alter their price plans in light of this development. I currently have AT&T U-Verse and will move my number to them and switch providers if forced to.They are willing to offer the same plan I currently have with Verizon but will have to buy a new AT&T GoPhone. Have had pretty good customer service with them up to now,but they are not open 24/7 for wireless customer service. Any comments?

Hi Melissa
Right now I am switching back and forth between the Samsung Gusto 2 and the original Gusto. The reason I am doing this is because the Gusto ,even though it is an older phone, is in much better condition than the newer Gusto2. I want to use the beat-up Gusto2 for work, and switch to the other phone when I need a more presentable phone.Also have a Verizon Wireless CDM 7076(somewhere).
Don't know why I am being forced to replace perfectly good phones. And yes,SydneyK, I could use my tablet for data,but it is a little cumbersome to take it out with me,but don't need it for my work . I just took it out for the first time recently to see how well it works on Wi-Fi hotspots(I don't have or want a data plan).Because I am a U-verse customer,I have access to 30,000 AT&T Wi-Fi hotspots AT NO ADDITIONAL CHARGE. I don't want to pay for something (web access)that I can't use on this phone. If Verizon can't give me cost-effective solutions,then I will be forced to transfer my number to AT&T Wireless as of August 30 for a GoPhone. AT&T wants my business and are wiling to do anything to satisfy me. Haven't had any trouble with Verizon either. Yes, their customer service is still available 24/7 even thought you will have to wait a while sonetimes. I just hate the thought of having to go through the hassle of transferring my number to another carrier.

Hello i have a problem with onfocus function on ipad. i am trying to bring my cursor on a text box on a button click. It works fine with safari web browser but not on ipad. Need a solution.

Hello i have a problem with onfocus function on ipad. I am trying to bring my cursor on a text box on a button click. It works fine with safari web browser but not on ipad. Need a solution.

I don't think that a software update from Apple will solve the issues that you are having. You have a rogue installation. After you posted I have just done the following:
Disk Utility can verify my partitioned Volume (including my boot disk) AND REPAIR the non-boot disks on the same Volume without a glitch. It repairs the non-boot disks containing data smoothly.
I have used Mail to send some mails from some Yahoo and Hotmail accounts to my Thunderbird client containing GMail accounts - absolutely normal.
I have iLife '09 but my iMovie '09 and iPhoto '09 open in a jiffy and I see no issues here. I have 6GB RAM (Maximum) on an early 2008 Macbook Pro with a 750GB hard drive partitioned with 120GB reserved for the Boot Drive.
I am sorry that I cannot help further but I am sure there must be a way to reinstall the software without having to revert to restoring your ML backup. I have two clones and if you have such I would attempt to do that through that rather than through Time Machine - that is of course if you have a cloned drive.
Good luck!

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.

I am trying to get my application (e-qip )"We did not detect that your web browser supports 128-bit high encryption.Have trouble "Continue" button below, you will need to upgrade your web browser to a version that supports 128-bit encryption"

I am trying to complete my TSA job application and it is a requirement to complete e-qip questions?

That website is using an old method of checking the encryption level a web browser is capable of, it mentions Netscape 6.x/7 which are like from 6 to 7 years ago. It looks like they're checking for a '''U''' in the User Agent string. That particular letter in the UA goes back to the days of export controls for encryption software, but those controls expired over 15 years ago. That letter has been virtually meaningless since then. <br />
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_Agent
You can fool that website into thinking that you are using an older version of Firefox with this extension. <br />
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/user-agent-switcher/ <br />
Use this for a custom UA string that should work there:<br /> '''Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2.18) Gecko/20110614 Firefox/3.6.18'''
Or just use IE for that one website.

Which web browser to download For iPad

Which web browser to download

1. Any reason you don't want to use the built-in Safari Browser?
2. What features do you need in the browser? As that will be very important when suggesting one. i.e file uploading, download management, media playback options?
3. This forum is for Safari on a Mac. I'll request your post be relocated to the iPad Forum.

When I click the link to get Flash I end up at the same Adobe page as I do if trying to install on iPhone/iPad???

Which port does Safari use for web browsing directly on Mac

In our intranet network, clients both using proxy or directly connect to internet is OK, but when we disable UDP port upwards 10000, Mac users can not connect to internet without seting proxy, and Windows user is no problem on this. How could this be, wich port does safari use when browsing web

Should be using Port 80 (HTTP).

Keyboard Only Web Browser?

I know firefox has some interesting keyboard-only plugins, but those are pretty slow and I'm mostly a fan of opera. Does anyone know of any Opera plugins that allow me to avoid using a mouse? If not, is there any browser meant for the specific purpose of being able to use only a keyboard?
Please don't say links or lynx . Thanks in advance.

F wrote:
honestly, the /only/ thing vimperator has on opera+keybindings is that i can have a combination of keys go directly to a link, and with opera you sort of have to guide your way down (which really isn't that bad, but still...).
Also you could try using links-hacked, links-g, links, or elinks (or any other terminal-based browsers).
I used to be a big fan of vimperator but I just freaking hate firefox. I'm back with Opera now and i like it even more than firefox+vimperator.
The only thing I dislike about Opera is that it uses Qt, and rapes my cursors. I'm sure there are ways for intergrating it better, but I haven't put in any time with it yet.

In hotel room, wifi will not give web page to login with safari or other web browser

I reinstalled mountain lion thinking it might have something to do with college internet settings but still cannot login. Support desk for the network say that other mac pro computers are not having this problem. I can use my iPad, iPod and Windows PC without issue.

Hello MountP,
The best way to take care of that is to either start fresh on your library or import the files that are already on your computer. The following article will assist with that.

E52 web browser problem

The web browser in my E52 is unable to view video content in most web sites. It just can view videos on Youtube main site.
When I use the E63 web browser it works great for the same sites that E52 failed to view.
Please try this link for an example and tell me if u can view the video or just a blank area
http://www.symbian-freak.com/news/009/09/five_minutes_long_walkthrough_nokia_n900.htm
Please share your ideas about this problem
it may be a flash lite issue for this device?

Yes I can see the video using skyfire which works fine even with my old E51.
So you can not see the video on the E52 built in browser like me..
It is very strange that the FP1 safari browser is capable of viewing that content where the FP2 and 5th failed!
I tried to open that page on nokia 5800 XM and it could not view the video (the same problem as E52)..
That means that the latest versions of safari (built in web browser) is having a problem viewing flash content and embedded videos.
You can view the video contents only on youtube page and maybe so few other pages.
still viewing the same blank area even without the flash logo.
Anybody is facing this issue withe the new nokia phones?

Question about private web browsing and Spotlight

I was browsing personal webpages on a work computer using Safari's 'Private Web Browsing', but although Safari doesn't remember the pages, Spotlight does which is a little concerning!
I have excluded webpages from Spotlight searches but that doesn't mean the pages have gone. I have tried clearing my history in Safari and Resetting it, to no avail. Can someone tell me how to delete the webpages from Spotlight?
Thanks and regards

Hi Rapidness,
I checked on my computer and do not have this issue. And I have no website located somewhere on my machine, after cleaning / or resetting the browser.
In the "Safari" - Menu > below the "Private Surfing" > is "Safari Reset"
Maybe you should try this...
You can also use "Onyx" to reset the browser. See the link below:

i do not wanna do web browser, that is my coswork,Still you need to give a bit more info.
1) Be aware that data and view of the data are and should remain different things.
The ArrayList can be used to save the Favourites. And the JList can be used to display them. Alternately, you could also use a tree of Favourite objects, with Favourite extending DefaultMutableTreeNode. This tree can then be displayed using JTree.
