Open web page in default browser

I'm tryin to work with class URL and i want to open the default web browser with a http adresse.. How can i do that ?
thank you very much

However, the application developer almost certainly just wants access to a reasonable choice for the browser.But the user would probably be annoyed at a browser they don't use opening.
If, for example, a Linux system has both Opera and Netscape, it's likely that Netscape is just a relic
left over from the OS install while Opera is the user's first choice and could be considered
the "default" browser.Or it's a multiple-user box, and at least one user prefers Opera.
While no approach is perfect on Linux, we can certainly make some educated guesses and
develop a solution that does a reasonably good job of finding and opening a browser.I think most Linux users would rather get a dialog box asking which browser they'd like to use. By all means use auto-detection to set the initial value, but let the user choose.
You mentioned Firefox as one of them. <snip> If you know the specific cause or even just have a
theory, it would be helpful to all to see it.It seems to be that passing "-console" as an option (I've been using it to debug the forum-improving Greasemonkey scripts) causes the problem. Without it, the invocation is handled as chosen in Edit | Preferences | Advanced | Tabbed Browsing.

  • Firefox opens web pages but not all the data or pictures.

    Firefox 22.0 opens web pages slowly, it takes up to 30 seconds to load and then not all the pictures and data is loaded or it times out. If I hit the reload button, everything loads OK. This happens on mant sites, not just a few.
    I use Google Chrome as my primary browser, and it is quite fast. My internet connection is commercial and it is OMG fast. I would like to replace Google Chrome( I hate being tracked), but at this point, the Firefox is just too slow.
    Please advise how to correct these issues.
    Thanks

    Which security software (firewall, anti-virus) do you have?
    Make sure that Firefox is fully trusted in your security software.
    You can check for problems with preferences and rename or delete the prefs.js file and possible numbered prefs-##.js files and a possible user.js file to reset all prefs to the default value.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Resetting_preferences
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
    *Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window or otherwise make changes.

  • How can I get a list of open web pages in Firefox (in Linux)?

    I would like to know how to get a list of open web pages in Firefox (in Linux), because I have a shortcut to open a web page and I want to get it to see if Firefox has the page open first so that it doesn't open duplicates.

    You see the "List All Tabs" button in current Firefox versions if there are that many tabs open that you get the Tab bar scroll buttons appearing.
    Add code to the userChrome.css file below the default @namespace line.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/userChrome.css
    The customization files userChrome.css (user interface) and userContent.css (websites) are located in the chrome folder in the Firefox profile folder.

  • Adobe Reader 9.2 not opening web pages in Win7 64bit

    After reading all the threads on this subject, it seems that two things are obvious: Adobe has a lot of trouble with their software fixes, and secondly, the fixes seem to be different for many PC's and OS's. I have windows 7 Ultimate, 64 bit, and Adobe reader 9.2 is hanging when we try to open web pages with .pdf files. We are using IE8 ( even Firefox with foxit is having a heart attack ! ) I am trying to uninstall version 9.2 with no success. It gets to one part of the uninstall and then gives me a message that other programs are using Reader, and it stops the uninstall. I have tried REPAIR, it does not help. Am I to assume that Adobe AIR and Adobe.com ALSO need to be uninstalled PRIOR to attempting to uninstall Reader 9.2?
    Also, I feel that the present install of 9.2 is corrupted ( hence why I am trying to reload ) because when I open the Adobe Reader icon on the desktop, the black Adobe screen opens, but after about 6 seconds the Adobe screen goes white and there is a message in the top Adobe Reader bar stating that the program is not responding. ( Obviously something is missing in the install ) MS  UAC is set to OFF, so no security blocks there.
    Q1 : How do I get Adobe Reader ver 9.2 to uninstall?
    Q2: Will version 9.2 of Adobe Reader work on Windows 7 64 bit presently?
    Thank you in advance for any kind assistance

    To uninstall Adobe Reader, make sure (using Task Manager's Processes tab) that Adobe Reader is not running.  Browser windows should also be closed.
    If you still cannot proceed, try in Safe Mode, or use the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility.
    P.S. Adobe AIR and Acrobat.com are not directly related to Adobe Reader, and can be uninstalled independently.

  • Internet Browsers wont open web pages.

    I have Windows 7 Home.  None of my internet browsers (firefox,IE,chrome)  will open any web pages.  Was working fine the day before and now nothing.  When you type in an address or search on the google tab it just thinks for a a while
    then the address bar goes blank and nothing happens.   Internet is connected and working fine by cable.  Other computers on same network are working regular. Please help... did alot of searching on forums and nothing i have tried yet has worked.
    Thank you.

    Hi Biggy,
    I agree Zigzag, the issue can be caused by one of the following factors:
    a. Network connectivity issue or network-related issue such as DNS resolve. 
    b. Malware. 
    c. A conflict with firewall or a firewall configuration issue. 
    d. Third-party software or Internet connections settings issues. 
    e. Internet Explorer configuration settings. 
    f. Certain core Windows files are corrupted or missing.
    Meanwhile, I would like suggest you try the solution from the link below about a similar case:
    Cannot open any web pages in any browser.:

    Uninstall IE8
    I would take 'Y2ken's' advice and try Firefox.  I have used it for years with XP Pro and Ubuntu, Linux.  It definitely is more responsive.  Most of what is in IE8 was developed in FF several years ago.  FF was the first browser with tabs, for instance.

  • Home hub connected but can't open web pages

    Hi
    Having a problem accessing any web pages. Has been like this for last 3 days. All the lights on the BT Home Hub are on and according to the task bar on my laptop it is connected and signal etc is all fine. When you open browser it tries to connect but never loads a page and eventually times out. Have phoned BT broadband help and they say there is nothing wrong with the line. Pretty certain it's not my laptop as my wife's has exactly the same problem and she uses a different browser and has different anti-virus software.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks

    I have also had exactly the same problem!
    I've had the BT Broadband option 1 for at least 3 years now and not had any major problems (lucky me).  I decided to go for the new package (TV, Broadband (option 2), & calls package £18 per month - currently on offer) as I wanted to get Sky Sports through BTVision.  I'm not allowed Sky or cable TV where I live.  The activation date for Broadband option 2 was Monday 7th March and Monday 14th for BTVision.  This also included a new router i.e. HomeHub3.
    On Sunday the 6th March my internet connection was fine i.e. could open web pages, get email etc (using a BT Voyager Router).  On Monday 7th I went on line and was unable to open web pages.  I thought it might be a minor problem i.e. back up in an hour.
    On Tuesday the 8th March I still had the same problem (Voyger Router) but had also received my new router (BT Home Hub 3).  I decided to install the new hub thinking that would resolve the problem but it did not.  I then tried a wirless & cable (2 different cables) connection to my PC & XBox and still could get online even though I was "Connected".  I phoned the broadband help desk and was on the phone for at least an hour with no success.  The help desk agent said it could be a problem with my account and said he would ring me back on Wed at 8pm........guess what?  No phone call.  I then phoned up again (10pm) & went through all the usual tests.......again!  It still didn't work and I was told that it was probably a problem with my PC and they put me through to another department that should be able to help.  I was then asked what the problem was (no communication between department then!)  I had to go through the whole thing again and was then told that I would have to pay £10 a month (for at least 3 months) for them to do further checks.
    Wednesday & Thursday evening I phoned the Broadband help line (same tests again - no notes on my previous calls!) and still no success. I didn't pay for the £10 month service (BT Home help) out of principle and do not know what to do next.

  • Nokia 5530 will not open web page

    Hi everyone,
    I have a Nokia 5530 since christmas with latest firmware update. My problem is that when i click into the Internet, the screen just flashes and automatically closes. I tried it with connecting to Ovi Store and the same thing happens. I am using my wireless modem to connect to the Internet and it has never once given me a problem, just today it started acting up. Another detail is when i use other applications such as Software Update or using Ovi maps, it will download easily, but just wont open web pages even though it is connected,
    Please help
    Thank you
    Solved!

    im not very technically, sorry so if i worded some things wrong i apolgise
    It's oke. In Facebook options set your accesspoint to always ask before connecting aswell as other apps like your browser, etc..... Change packet-data settings from when available to when needed.

  • Opening Web Pages

    Hello,
    I'm currently trying to open a web page within a browser. Currently I can only open a web browser with the web page. Here is the code.

            Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime();
            try{
                   if (osName.startsWith("Windows")) {
                                // this doesn't support showing urls in the form of "page.html#nameLink"
                        rt.exec( "rundll32 url.dll,FileProtocolHandler " + url);     }
                   else if (osName.startsWith("Mac OS")) {
                            rt.exec( "open " + url);    
                   else {
                            // Do a best guess on unix until we get a platform independent way
                                // Build a list of browsers to try, in this order.

                                StringBuffer cmd = new StringBuffer();
                                for (int i=0; i<browsers.length; i++)
                                    cmd.append( (i==0  ? "" : " || " ) + browsers[i] +" \"" + url + "\" ");
                                rt.exec(new String[] { "sh", "-c", cmd.toString() });
                        }catch (Exception e){
                              JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, errMsg + ":\n" + e.getLocalizedMessage());
    }Works well to open browsers (though it is opening in tabs and not new windows, could use some help in that too), I want to take an already open browser and open a new page leaving behind the the page currently on.
    Edited by: DarkGhost89 on Jan 12, 2008 9:14 PM

    I'd suggest reading the browser help pages for their command line arguments (if such documentation exists; generally this area of browser documentation is poor) and see if the browsers in question allow you to specify a target argument on the command line, in addition to the URL. I mean target as in the attribute to HTML links. (e.g., ). If such an argument exists, it might be different on each browser, which means you'll need to need to break up the non-Windows cases into many different cases. You might want to use "which" on unix boxes to find out which browsers are available.
    This is just a reasonable guess. I have no idea whether "target" is supported like this by any browser.

  • The list of open web pages just flipped from right to left. How do I get it back on the right? Thankyou.

    The list of open web pages, which normally sits bottom right on my screen, flipped to the left. How can I move it back to the right?
    I clicked Alt + tab and saw 'Deplacer' (Reposition - I'm in France). Then the cursor became a thing like a crossroads and I clicked where I wanted to put the list of open pages but nothing happened.

    You may have placed the bookmarks icon on the Navigation Toolbar to open the bookmarks in the sidebar instead of the bookmarks menu button that opens a drop down list.<br />
    There are two icons available for opening or accessing the bookmarks that both have a star.<br />
    The icon with the drop marker opens the drop down list with the bookmarks (Bookmarks Menu button).<br />
    The other, without the star, opens the bookmarks in the sidebar, just like the Ctrl+B shortcut or View > Sidebar > Bookmarks

  • TS3276 i am unable to open web pages from email links on my ipad

    I am unable to open web pages from email links on my ipad

    A few more details might help, if nobody else recognizes this.   
    What happens when you try to open the links?
    Can you post an example of a link that doesn't work?
    Is there any particular source for the mail with the (bad) links, or is mail from all sources failing?
    If you happen to know it, what's the format of the mail message?  (Maybe the message is an image?)
    Do the embedded links work as expected from an OS X system running Mail.app, or some system and some other other mail client?
    To view the link in iOS: if you press on and hold your finger on an embedded link in most contexts, iOS will show a pop-up with the link contents, and will offer to copy it.  You can use that to acquire and post the link.  If pressing and holding on the link doesn't offer the pop-up, the format of the link itself may not be valid, or it might not really be a link.
