Outside links open in firefox instead

Okay so if I click on a link in MSN or another program, it is opening in firefox instead of Safari. I have Safari set to my default browser too. If I uninstalled Firefox, the link is dead.
Just need some iput. Thanks
Windows Vista Ultimate 32-Bit

Well I've found out the problem. Safari doesn't show up in the Default Programs settings in Control Panel. Firefox and Internet Explorer are in there and are set for all the "FTP, HTTP, HTTPS, and GOPHER" file types. Can't be changed to Safari unless anyone has some ideas.
I tried changing the default to Internet explorer and it changed it as expected. So Safari just needs to show up in the settings somehow.

    Hi roundabout-
    I was able to see links in Mac Mail 4.5 open in Firefox. I had the Firefox application open, and when I clicked a link in the mail client it opened correctly. I'm sorry if this is not helpful. Is Firefox set as your preferred browser?

  • XSPF opens in Firefox instead of the default VLC

    Hello,
    I've been googling a lot and couldn't find a solution to this. As the title suggests, the problem is this: when I open an XSPF playlist (the application/xspf+xml mime type), it opens in Firefox instead of the VLC player, which I've set as default for this filetype. I've made sure it's set in the KDE's Default Applications, I've chcecked the mime types in ~/.local/share/mime/, and I've also checked the /usr/share/mime. VLC is the default everywhere. What am I missing out?

  • Every time I click a link in an email, it opens in Firefox instead of Safari. I want the links to open in Safari again. How do I make that happen?

    I'm pissed. How dare you assume I want my emails to open with Firefox, and change the settings on my computer without my permission?!!!
    How do I get my email links to open in Safari again?!
    I'm using a Mac 10.6.8 operating system

    No. If you simply click on a hyperlink in pretty much anything, Safari will open since it is the default browser. The only option you have is tap and hold on the link, and then select Add to reading list. It will then be stored int eh reading list in Safari.

    If you trust the site, choose Allow. If you do not trust the site, choose Block.

    Jaison James.

    The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
    Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
    To Reset Firefox do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
    #Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
    #Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
    #Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
    Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

  • The tab: how to make web links open in Firefox cannot be deleted only closed each time I log into my browser....

    The above tab cannot be deleted, it comes back each time I log in.

    You can check for problems with preferences.
    Delete a possible user.js file and numbered prefs-##.js files and rename (or delete) the prefs.js file to reset all prefs to the default value including prefs set via user.js and prefs that are no longer supported in the current Firefox release.

  • How do I force Outlook 2010 to use Firefox instead if IE8?

    Whenever I click a link in my emails, it opens in IE8. With only one link, it works fine, but when I click on multiple links in a techie email, IE locks up when dealing with multiple tabs. Firefox works great.

    Help files have not produced an answer.
    This is on a Win 7 Ultimate 32, Office 2010 Military version, with full Outlook 2010.

  • Window.open opens new Firefox page, not a windows exploer window

    I have a javascript code within Dynamics CRM to open a windows explorer window if a field is double clicked with the folder location in that field. For example, if our local server name was COMPANYSERVER
    If the field contained \\COMPANYSERVER\Accounts and you double click it, that windows explorer window shows the Accounts folder in the COMPANYSERVER, and I can navigate to any child directories.
    If we use CRM in Internet Explorer, this works fine. However if CRM has been opened in Firefox, instead of opening a windows explorer field, it opens a new tab in Firefox, with a File or directory not found error, obviously because it is trying to find a webpage rather than an internal directory.
    I was not sure whether to log this on a Dynamics forum or Firefox forum, so I have done both, but as I say, it works perfectly with IE so I guess it's something I need to do differently for firefox, or change a setting somewhere within firefox?
    I am very new to firefox, so if you can be quite basic with your answers I would really appreciate it!

    I personally have not done this before, however there are two old sources that have both referenced the IE Tab extension.

  • Cannot open .jnlp file when asked to open with firefox web browser in ubuntu 11.10 using firefox 6

    After upgrading to ubuntu 11.10 the firefox 6 browser cannot download and open .jnlp file from the interactivebrokers website. Usually I go to the IB website and download tws.jnlp file which is opened in the firefox web browser. But now when I click on the Open with Firefox Browser button, the firefox browser opens a new tab and display the same open window again.

    Seems that after upgrading to 11.10, jnlp files open with firefox instead of javaws (Java Web Start).
    If you right click the file on the download folder and choose "open with" you can manually select java web start.
    Ubuntu bug...
    You can right click any .jnlp file and select "properties", go to "Open With" tab, mark Sun Java 6 Web Start and click "Set as Default". Should fix it. I don't know what would happen if you have the default ubuntu java instead of Sun's. Maybe this wouldn't be necessary.

  • How do I get a website to open on firefox from my email?

    I have Internet Explorer. I just downloaded Firefox. An online store that I shop at regularly sends me emails. When I click on their link from my email it takes me to their site through Internet Explorer. How do I get the link from my email to open through Firefox?

    Usually links in other applications* will open web pages in your default web browser. To have Firefox make itself your default web browser -- if it doesn't ask you when you start it up -- you can follow the steps in this article: [[How to make web links open in Firefox by default]].
    Does Windows comply or resist the change?
    ''*'' Just to clarify: applications other than a browser, which handles links on its own.

  • Social media links opening in the same muse window. I'm trying to find a way to get them to open in new tabs.  Anyone know how to fix this problem?

    I know that the settings for Muse are supposed to have links open in new windows but that is not happening.  I've unlinked and linked them again several times.  Actually all of the outside links open in the same Muse window. Help please!! I'm ready to connect the domain but can't bring myself to doing that until I get this fixed.
