Make firefox handle URLs from other applications, when not the default browser

I know there is a preference for this SOME WHERE because I saw it. Now I want to change it.
I want to toggle whether clicking on a URL in some other app (like my email) will be handled by the Macintosh Default Browser (Safari) or by Firefox

Only the default browser can handle links automatically.<br />
That is handled by the OS and can't be affected otherwise.
If you do not want to change to default browser to Firefox then you need to drag the link in a Firefox window or otherwise open the link in the preferred browser.

  • Why does Firefox tell me it's not the default browser?

    When I start Firefox, or when I go to the options system and check, Firefox 8 tells me it's not the default browser. Yet, if I close it, and go to some program such as Excel and type in a URL then click it, Firefox opens it. Any idea what's wrong?

    That means that not all Firefox settings as default browser are set and that some are missing

  • If Firefox is not the default browser is there anyway to create an "Open with Firefox" right click option for internet icons on the desktop??

    When internet icons on the desktop are right clicked and Firefox is not the default browser, is there anyway to create an "Open with Firefox" option in the right click menu? If not you should create one in future versions.

    You will have to create a copy of the Firefox desktop shortcut and add the URL to the target line if you want to open such an internet shortcut with Firefox.
    A normal internet shortcut will always open in the default browser.

  • MIDI from other applications will not drag to GB '09

    I am finding that since upgrading to GB '09 some MIDI files from other applications such as Encore5 will not drag to the GB track area although they play correctly with QuickTime Player. Is GB '09 more fussy about MIDI than earlier versions? What do I do about this?

    Thanks. I don't have QT Pro so I would have to spend £20 to buy it from AppleStore, but your suggestion made me realize I can do audio format conversion with Toast10 which I do have.
    However, something I forgot to mention in my previous post is that the original midi contains 4 separate tracks which I need to keep separate for processing with GB. Toast10 accepts the midi and merges the 4 tracks into one stereo audio file. I suspect QT Pro would do the same.
    I just need GB to accept midi like it used to in previous versions.

  • Our email keeps saying server not found - it is up and running and we can access it from other computers just not the imacs, our email keeps saying server not found - it is up and running and we can access it from other computers just not the imacs

    Our email keeps shutting down and saying server not found. It works fine on all the PCs but not our iMacs. Any help would be appreciated. We just downloaded the new LION  - would this be an issue?

    I feel like I'm getting closer. First, the connector on our cable didn't fit snugly. Tug it slightly and it lost contact. I put a new cable on the server and now it seems more robust. Server Admin opened faster, anyway.

    This server is bound to Active Directory (using Directory Utility -- don't know if I need to do it elsewhere?) and I'm not sure what was trying to authenticate at that time.
    My error messages for "server not found" have gone away for my iChat client, but now it just pops up the authentication window over and over when I try to log in. I'm wondering if there's something missing in the server binding?

  • 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.

  • When I click on an active link from another application, it opens the firefox application, but won't open open the page - it just opens Firefox or takes me to Firefox. No new tab or window is opened and the link is not displayed.

    When I click on an active link from another application, it opens the firefox application, but won't open open the page - it just opens Firefox or takes me to Firefox. No new tab or window is opened and the link is not displayed.

    Firefox sent an email to me to confirm that I had asked the above question. The email had a link to click. When I clicked it from Firefox, nothing happened. Then I opened IE, signed into Comcast, opened the email, clicked the link, and it brought me here.

    Why does Lion KEEP reversing changes you make in address book and other applications without your consent and without wanting it to??? Plus address book will NOT import old address book contacts from Snow Lepoard 10.6 and keep them.  This Lion OXS 7 is .. becoming very frustrating ... it will NOT keep changes made in the Address Book and it has destroyed my contacts which I only have electronically since 10.4 in my address book. I am NOT happy with this OS7 it has a lot of issues and faults.  How can one stop automatic reversing of data when inputting???
    Please help! 
    Wished I NEVER upgraded to this Lion!!!
    Carmelo

    Relax. Your address book database is corrupted.
    If you are syncing your Contacts with MobileMe or something else, disable it for now.
    Backup your address book by going to File>Export>Address Book Archive.
    Quit Address Book.
    Open your Library by holding down the Option (alt) key while selecting the Go menu in Finder. Select Library. Navigate into your Application Support/AddressBook folder and delete the addressbook-v22.abcddb file.
    Open Address Book. It will recreate the database from the raw data.
    See how that works. If it is ok, then reenable syncing and see how that works.

  • Firefox v33 knocked out my Adobe 7 pro PDF printer plugin. PDFs print OK from other applications.

    Firefox v33 knocked out my Adobe 7 pro PDF printer plugin. PDFs print OK from other applications. It happened a few times randomly, and it seemed to resolve spontaneously, but now it is persistent.
    I've done scans for malware, which I suspected, but nothing showed up, nor corrected it with cleaning.
    I had this problem before, and I found directions on how to rest the printer within Firefox, but I've forgotten how or where I got it.
    I did try to re-install in control panel, but this appears to be a firefox issue. How do i rest the plugin or Firefox to once again print PDFs from browser pages. I need to use this feature printing receipts etc.

    Are you using a toolbar button (Create PDF extension) or a printer driver (selecting Adobe PDF or Distiller in the Print dialog) to generate the PDF? Older versions of Create PDF have been reported not to work any more (by older I mean from Acrobat X or earlier), but the printing method should still work.

  • Display "Application over 20MB" when I type OK button, the appearance will not go away and make me unable to open other applications, what to do and whether it must be restarted

    display "Application over 20MB" when I type OK button, the appearance will not go away and make me unable to open other applications, what to do and whether it must be restarted?

    The 20 meg message is the download limit for 3G. If you can't get rid of the 'OK' message then you can do a reset by pressing and holding both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
    You should be able to download the apps by switching to wifi on your iPad or downloading them on your computer's iTunes and syncing them or dragging and dropping them over to the iPad device.

  • Open url from my application??

    Hi guys,
    I'm using jdev 10.1.2 and adf bc's. In my application i have a table which stores links for a number of websites. So I have a jsp which lists all the records from this table. When the user clicks on the link, the relevant page should open up in a new browser.
    here's the code:
    <a href ="<c:out value="${Row['Link']}"/>" target="_blank"><c:out value="${Row['Link']}"/></a>
    The problem is that while the href has the value of the link, it tries to launch the link from my application so that the URL is:
    http://10.64.102.92:8990/Trademarks-View-context-root/www.google.ie
    instead of just http://www.google.ie
    any ideas of how to remove the part preceeding the address would be most welcome.
    thanks in adavance,
    newbe.

    sorry, problem solved. i just had to put http:\\ in front of the value of the c:out

  • 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".

    Hi Yuvish,
    1) They should be boolean inputs to your VI. But does it makes sense to provide a stop button input at the start of your VI? (THINK DATAFLOW!)
    2) Yes, the LV-RTE is needed...

    your signon url is consists of the following url http://server.domain.com:port/site/signon.html
    Can you ping server.domain.com from your client?
    If you can ping it, then make sure your port is added as a rule in the firewall of the server.
    Also make sure that the proxy setting of the client have an exception to server.domain.com.
    If you cannot ping it, make sure the server and the client are conneted to the same network and make sure the hosts file on the client reflects the ipaddress and the hostname of the server.

  • Create package with prompt from other application

    Hi Experts!
    I need to create a package in the planning application. In the screen selection I need some dimensions of my planning cube and one dimension of the Ownership application. I don't have any problem with the current application dimension, but I need to retrieve the members of INTCO dimension from Ownership because the user should make the selection. Is it possible to create a prompt from other application?
    Thanks!!
