My weather bug gadgets trys to open in internet explorer rather than firefox

this computer from the start would crash with internet explorer so my search engine is Mozilla Firefox i put a weather bug gadget to my desktop now when I try to open it it trys with internet explorer how do i change so it always opens with Firefox?

Have Firefox check to make sure that it is the default program.
'''''Firefox Options > Advanced > General'''''. Also see if the gadget
itself is calling IE.

  • When I open an email with images, Outlook Express keeps defaulting to Internet Explorer rather than FireFox to get the image, since I have IE disabled this means that I see no image. I have FF set as my default browser. Please can you help?

    I first noticed the problem 3 months ago when a virus set a proxy on Internet Explorer. Removal of the proxy brought the image back, but this showed that Outlook Express uses IE to get images even when FF is set as default browser

    I might be able to experiment with this a little.
    Are you running a recent version of Outlook Web App (i.e., Exchange 2010)?
    When you save files using IE, what format are they in (e.g., EML, RTF, HTML)?

  • When in my email, my links open into internet explorer instead of firefox

    When I am in my email and a message has a link and I open the link, instead of going to firefox, it opens in internet explorer, I use firefox not internet explorer.

    Hello, I'm having this exact same problem since the last few days, somethings changed on how the hotmail webpage is loading, or what it's loading, as Google chrome also reports an 'Aw-Snap' webpage error.

  • Hyperlink in MS office to pdf opens in Internet Explorer instead of Firefox

    I have some documents (Excel, Word) that contain hyperlinks.
    Hyperlinks to websites (www.***.com or http://***.htm) nicely open in Firefox. But links to online pdf's (http://www.***.com/***.pdf) all open in Internet Explorer.
    How can I change this?
    I'm using Windows XP pro, Firefox 3.0.5, Office 2003, Adobe Reader 9.0.0

    I have the same problem (roughly) - I have PDF hyperlinks in an Excel spreadsheet and, when clicked, instead of them opening directly in Acrobat (or via Firefox, my default browser), they open via IE. Regular HTML links in the Excel spreadsheet open in Firefox.
    I have enabled the '''Block PDF files' access to all web sites''' option under ''Trust Manager'' category in the Adobe Reader ''Preferences'' tab.
    I have also disabled the '''Adobe PDF Link Helper''' Extension in the ''Manage Add-ons'' tab in IE.
    Obviously, neither of these settings made any difference.

  • .pdf hyperlinks in word open in Internet Explorer instead of Firefox

    I have website addresses copied and pasted into a word document, which automatically makes them a hyperlink. Normal website addresses open fine in firefox (which is my default browser) when I Ctrl+click on them. Web links to a .pdf, however, open Internet Explorer and then open in Adobe Acrobat inside Internet Explorer. How can I get .pdf links to open in Firefox when I Ctrl+click on them?

  • I have URL links to PDFs in an excel spreadsheet, the document opens in Internet Explorer, even though Firefox is my Default browser

    I have been through all of the default browser setups and I still Internet Explorer opens. I have an internet shortcut to an excel document on my desktop and Firefox opens just fine.
    Any ideas?

  • How do I open an internet explorer tab from Firefox?

    In older versions of Firefox, I could click on a tab and open it in IE, but I don't know how to do it in Firefox 4.

    That has never been a built-in feature of Firefox, but is added by an extension such as IE Tab 2 - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/ie-tab-2-ff-36/

  • LLBs opening in Internet Explorer not Windows Explorer

    Labiew 7:
    Having enabled the option "Enable Windows Explorer for LLB files", I've noticed that clicking LLB files actually opens the library in "Internet Explorer" rather than the "Windows Explorer", which is a minor nuisance.
    Does anyone know why this might be, and is there anything that can be done about it?
    I've checked the .llb file association and I can't see any way to change the "explorer" association.
    Note: I'm using LabVIEW 7 on Windows XP. Some time ago,  when I was previously using NT4, I'm sure LLBs opened in Windows Explorer as expected (not Internet Explorer).
    Any ideas anyone?
    Mark.

    That's a new one.
    Just out of curiosity, what does it look in IE when it opens it.
    Try unchecking the option, restart Windows, then check the option again
    and restart again and see if that fixes it. Somehow the association is
    messed up and this might fix it.

    Hello David.
    It's possible that you are having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
    Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not caused by one (or more than one) of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] (don't forget to select ''Disable all add-ons'' when you start safe mode). If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and themes and [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+plugins this one] for plugins.
    If you need support for one of your add-ons, you'll have to contact its author.
    If the problem is not disappears when all add-ons are disabled, please tell me, so we can work from there.

  • When I try to open a bookmark I get a box that says "what should firefox do with this file?" When I try to change the "open with Internet Explorer" I can't find firefox ? Last week this bookmark worked fine.

    When I open a bookmark a box pops up that says "What should firefox do with this file? "open with Internet Explorer? When I browse I can't find firefox to change to. Last week this book mark worked perfectly.

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the ''Safe mode'' start window.
    You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (on Mac: "Firefox > Quit")

  • ITunes will not open and tells me to use the "information" to open in 32 bit rather than 64. but the information pane does not offer that option ...

    I am trying to open my iTune 10.4 on my mac mini which is running OS 10.6.8, and I get the message that I need to use the information pane to open in 32-bit rather than 64. But the information pane does not offer this option. I'm in a vicious circle of opening, getting this message, then having to close. Did this come about after the June update of iTunes? And if so, why haven't they fixed it? And what can I do? You'd think Apple would want be to be able to spend my money in their store ...

    Try following steps and test one at a time:
    1. Restart computer, right mouse click iTunes icon and select "Run As Administrator"
    2. If that does not work, check to see if this file APSDaemon.exe is the problem here.
    Close your iTunes.
    Press Ctrl-Alt-Del key and choose Task Manager. In the "Processes" Tab, select the file APSDaemon.exe and click End Prosses button, then close the task manager window.
    Now open itunes and see if it is working?
    If that works, to prevent having to do the same process everytime you restart Windows, go to. START button, type in
    MSCONFIG
    Hit ENTER
    Click STARTUP Tab, Uncheck "Apple Push", click OK.
    Restart Windows.
    3. If that fails or you don't see ApsDaemon.exe in the Processes, refer to following article to remove SC files:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2363
    4. If that fails, repair or reinstall your Quicktime. START / CONTROL PANEL / PROGRAMS N FEATURES / hightlight QUICKTIME and click REPAIR.

  • Safari always opens a linked file rather than download it.

    Safari always opens a linked file rather than download it. Can't always Right Click for menu option as the web page is not setup that way.
    Have tried trashing the Downloads.plist from the user library. Still no joy.
    Thanks anyone

    Hi guys
    Thanks for suggestions. Carolyn, I did as you suggested but didn't solve problem. KeeChan, as explained in original post, that is my usual fallback but not all web sites work like that. Try downloading Safari - right click (Ctrl Click) on download button and all you get is the "Download.png" image.
    I finally found the answer. A long time ago I had downloaded and used "SpeedDownload" and had deleted it. Somehow, some trace of the app was left behind and the mime association with dmg files was messed up.
    You can not get rid of Speed Download by throwing its files away or by using an app cleaner product. You MUST run the Speed Download installer program and select the "uninstall" option to remove it.
    My browsers now download dmg files correctly.
