Make firefox default browser for all users without firefox checking for default browser

Hi,
we have 2 citrix servers in the same farm . We want to make firefox the default browser for all of our users.We also want to ignore the settings that they decide themselves influencing the default browser. 
Now the citrix forum suggested that i made a gpo that edits the folowing register keys:
HKCR\http\shell\open\command Change the value in the default key to firefox.exe location. 
HKCR\http\shell\open\ddeexec Change the value in the default key to Firefox HKCR\https\shell\open\command Change the value in the default key to firefox.exe location. 
HKCR\https\shell\open\ddeexec Change the value in the default key to Firefox
so i did that , and all our links now open through firefox. 
However we still get the question to make firefox our default browser while it already is defined as default browser since it opens links using firefox.
the 2nd strange thing we encountered is when we open pdf's using firefox , firefox opens but the pdf's won't open untill we make firefox default browser using the provided popup window when we start firefox 
i have googled this for days now without a proper answer . i even tried to run the "firefox.exe -silent -setDefaultBrowser" command to fix it on my personal profile without any luck.that's why i am relying on your answer

Just in case, check this article for the missing information

How can I make Firefox default browser for links in Earthlink emails? I have already verified that Firefox is my default browser, but clicking on links usually opens IE rather than Firefox.

Basically I have verified that Firefox is my default browser and it works great. Earthlink is my default email program. About 70% of the time when I click on a link in an Earthlink email it opens with Firefox, but the other 30% of the time it opens with IE, which I don't want to happen. Is there any way to fix this?

How to make firefox default browser

When I try to access apps espn app for the droidx for ex. they are set to open with the stock browser. I would like them to open with firefox. How do I make this happen.

# Open the Android "Settings" app.
# Tap on "Applications" then "Manage Applications."
# Tap on the "All" tab, then find Browser and tap on it.
# Under "Launch by default" press the "Clear Defaults" button.
Now when you open a link, Android will ask which browser to use, and offer to set a new default.

IE it tries to make itself default browser instead of Firefox

If a program starts IE it makes itself default browser. McAfee warns me and offers to change it back. Recent occurrence: I attempted to purchase Serif PagePlus updated version this started IE which then made itself default.

Click the Firefox button, then Options | Options | Advanced.
In the General tab, checkmark "''Always check to see if Firefox is the default browser on startup''" located in the System Defaults menu. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Options%20window%20-%20Advanced%20panel?as=u#w_general-tab General Tab | System Defaults]

How do I make Firefox default to home page when open new Tab?

When I open a new tab/window its blank. I have Firefox open to my home page Google, and I want the new tab/window to default open to that if I haven't chosen a web site to go to in the new Tab/window.
Is there a way to make Firefox default to the Google page when I open a new Tab/window and dont specify a web site to open to ?
I am using XP PRO x64 with firefox 4.0 and everything else works fine... my default home page is the Google search page.

Install this add-on: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/newtaburl/
After install and re-starting Firefox, go to Add-ons > Extensions, click Options next to New TabURL, set the options and/or enter the URL you want when you open a new tab, click Save.

Does not relate to your question, but...
You have multiple old Java Console extensions that Java did not clean-up during updates. You need Java Console only if you do Java programming/development or debug Java applets on web pages. You can see them in Add-ons > Extensions, '''''but you can not remove them from there'''''. Removing them will not affect the functioning of Java on websites. You can '''''manually''''' remove them, '''''if you do not do Java development work''''' to avoid future, possible problems/conflicts:

How do I make Firefox the browser but not make it the default browser?

I want to use Firefox as the browser on some sites but not all. I don't want to make either Firefox or Internet Explorer as a default browser but use each on certaion web sites such as Google or MSN.

For your choice of default browser, think about the one you want to handle links in other programs, such as word processors, Adobe Reader, or an external email program. Windows will use your default browser to open those links.
Then when you want to visit a site in a preferred browser, open that browser and use its bookmarks or favorites to get there.

How to make FF default browser on android phone

Want FF set as default browser on my GS-5

hi, please refer to the following article in order to set firefox as default browser on your device: [[Make Firefox the default browser on Android]]

I want Firefox browser not,YAHOO (I don't know this came to be), I'm unable to use the How to make Firefox my browser because this requires a menu bar, and until I get rid of YAHOO! I can not see a menu bar. Help Regards Arthur Norton.

I want Firefox as Browser. I've got Yahoo, but wish to delete it. I do not have a menu bar therefore cannot use How to make Firefox etc.

The akamai servers are used by a lot of web servers to store large files (e.g. images and media files)
A domain with fbstatic in it is likely a domain that is used by Facebook (fb), so you may have other problems if you stay on such a web page or get redirected
If you use extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) like Adblock Plus or NoScript or Flash Block that can block content then make sure that such extensions aren't blocking content.
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do not click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.

When making firefox default browser, some print commands in Microsoft programs/games no longer work. example: printing a NAVLOG in Flight Simulator FSX. i have been able to reproduce this error at will. win7 IE9

basically this is it. In FSX when creating a flightplan there is a print button where you can print (on the PC default printer) the flight plan. (NAVLOG) When Firefox current version is the default browser, this print button simply does not work. Making IE9 (32 bit) the default browser, this print button works again. No doubt this will occur in other applications also but I have only encountered this in FSX sofar.
I run win7 64 bit but use the 32 bit browser. All patches are up to date. to be clear, this isnt limited to FSX. It affects all Microsoft programs that call the print command in win7. Clearly FF isnt fit for purpose if I cant make it reliably the default browser. anyone else come across this ?

Sorry if this comes to late, I just now came across this thread. I have rtorrent and rutorrent sunning successfully on my x64 Arch Linux install.
Try putting the "SCGIMount /RPC2 127.0.0.1:5000" line in your httpd.conf file right after the LoadModule lines (it's line 124 for me).
I seem to recall it not working when I put it at the end of the file.
Best of Luck!

When I click to make Firefox my browser, a window comes up for me to choose what to use to open a long list of programs for which I have no clue.

I think about 15 programs are on that list, including calculator asking me to name the program to use to open it. I don't know what to use to open any program.

Windows 7 ffox 1.6.16 installed office 2010 intimated cannot open link outlook firefox default browser, firefox will not initiate at all. Have to restart to get any response from firefox which then works but it crashes again. No error message

Windows 7, firefox 1.6.16 just installed office 2010, sometimes cannot open a link in outlook and firefox is my default browser, and firefox will not initiate at all. Have to restart computer to get any response which then works but after a while it crashes again. Was this due to an update or office 2010 has a hidden setting somewhere? Why would firefox crash without any message? Intimated consuming

I have had a similar problem with my system. I just recently (within a week of this post) built a brand new desktop. I installed Windows 7 64-bit Home and had a clean install, no problems. Using IE downloaded an anti-virus program, and then, because it was the latest version, downloaded and installed Firefox 4.0. As I began to search the internet for other programs to install after about maybe 10-15 minutes my computer crashes. Blank screen (yet monitor was still receiving a signal from computer) and completely frozen (couldn't even change the caps and num lock on keyboard). I thought I perhaps forgot to reboot after an update so I did a manual reboot and it started up fine.
When ever I got on the internet (still using firefox) it would crash after anywhere between 5-15 minutes. Since I've had good experience with FF in the past I thought it must be either the drivers or a hardware problem. So in-between crashes I updated all the drivers. Still had the same problem. Took the computer to a friend who knows more about computers than I do, made sure all the drivers were updated, same problem. We thought that it might be a hardware problem (bad video card, chipset, overheating issues, etc.), but after my friend played around with my computer for a day he found that when he didn't start FF at all it worked fine, even after watching a movie, or going through a playlist on Youtube.
At the time of this posting I'm going to try to uninstall FF 4.0 and download and install FF 3.6.16 which is currently on my laptop and works like a dream. Hopefully that will do the trick, because I love using FF and would hate to have to switch to another browser. Hopefully Mozilla will work out the kinks with FF 4 so I can continue to use it.
I apologize for the lengthy post. Any feedback would be appreciated, but is not necessary. I will try and post back after I try FF 3.16.6.

I know how to do it on a PC but not a mac

In Safari, go to preferences and in default browser, select Firefox (assuming you have installed it.)
