Safari opens instead of the default browser

When I use "Search with Google", Safari opens instead of the default Chrome browser. Is there anyway I can stop this from happening?

you are using....???
getURL("mailto:[email protected]");
This would be the proper syntax. What version of the Player
are you targeting 4,5,6 perhaps even 7?

When I click a link in email client (apple mail), it does not open in firefox. I have checked both Firefox and Safari and Firefox is the default browser.

When clicking a link in either apple mail or even from a word document, nothing happens.

Try to redo the default browser and make another browser like Safari the default and then let Firefox do it again.

Opening webhelp in the default browser

The sample code for calling Webhelp opens Webhelp in IE. Is
there a way to call Webhelp from an application that opens it in
the user's default browser, whatever that might be? Thanks in
advance.

Thanks for the reply. Here's what the deveoper responded:
"We actually use the IE COM interface and feed it the URL,
something similar to what he illustrated. Ours is like this:
“server/path/startpage.htm#path/topic.htm” But we are
required to launch the browser AND feed it the URL. Otherwise the
poor user gets nothing…. "
Is there some way to do this without launching the browser?

Opening a byte stream of HTML content in the default browser

Hi,

Thanks and regards

Weeeeeelllll. You could implement your own mini http server, then launch the browser pointing to localhost....
Some browsers have automation interfaces that you could technically use to do something like this, but you are way outside the realm of Java land at that point.
If your code is running as an Applet, there may be some sort of interface that allows you to do this (it's been so long since I messed with applets that I can't really say - my initial inclination is to think "probably not", as this could violate the security sandbox... but who knows).

How to change the default browser for "Search in Google" pop-up menu?

This issue has come up for the last three OS X releases, at least, and it's still here for Lion.
I'm in Apple Mail and select some text. I want to search on the term using Google. Right-click brings up the context menu with "Search in Google." This inevitably results in Safari opening for the search.
Chrome is definitely set as my default browser. Clicking links in email messages brings them up in the proper browser. "Search in Google" does not. Wherever this context menu item is selected (Mail, TextEdit, etc.) it opens Safari instead of the default browser.
As far as I'm concerned, that makes the context menu item useless, since I do not use Safari.
Has anyone figured out a workaround?
Has anyone in the OS X team at Apple paid attention to this issue? It is not new.

This post helped me.
https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=147510
Basically, the "Search in Google" extension is from Safari and it can be disabled in System Preferences.
System Preferences -> Keyboard -> Keyboard Shortcuts -> Services -> Searching and unchecking "Search with Google"
It worked for me and I also disabled a few other right-click options that I never use.

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.

Java Web Start and IE6 as the default browser on win2k

Hi,
I need to access web pages from my java web start app. These pages are on the save server and the same webapp context as the jsp page to launch the web start app, and are protected.
I have tried with basic auth and servlet filter with cookie to control the access to the web server. When I need to access web server resource from web start app, I create the URL to the page I want to access, set the auth header or cookie and call the web start BasicService to open it in the default browser.
With Netscape 4/7 or Firefox as the default browser, I have no problem to send the auth header or cookie from the web start app to the webserver for security checking and get access to the resource on the server.
But it seems not woking when IE is set to be the default browser. I am always asked for userid/password if I use basic auth; or redirected to the login page if I use servlet filter and cookie.
If anybody knows a solution for this IE dfficulity, could you please share it?

Make Safari become the default browser vs. IE

Is it possible to make Safari the default browser instead of IE so when I click on Mail in the taskbar, Mail opens in Safari rather than Internet Explorer?

so I am going to accept this truth.
Thank you,

No. That's a browser-specific function. In fact, it's much better
to make the scrollbar visible on ALL pages than it is to try to hide

(thereby preventing the content on longer pages from shifting left
when the scrollbar appears) with this simple CSS -

How to open a URL in the default browser via CC HTML Extension?

Hi,
I'm trying to open a link via the default browser in a HTML Extension for Photoshop CC built with Extension Builder 3.
With the initial example the "/indext.html" it look like this:
<li><button class="default" id="btn_PHXS" onClick="onClickButton('PHXS')" disabled="true">Run ps code</button></li>
and I changed the code from "/ext.js" to:
...function onClickButton(ppid) {    var csInterface = new CSInterface();    csInterface.openURLInDefaultBrowser('http://www.adobe.com');}...
This is what the "/lib/CSInterface-4.0.0.js" looks like:
* Opens a page in the default system browser.
* @param url   The URL of the page to open. Must use HTTP or HTTPS protocol.
* @return One of these error codes:\n
*      <ul>\n
*          <li>NO_ERROR - 0</li>\n
*          <li>ERR_UNKNOWN - 1</li>\n
*          <li>ERR_INVALID_PARAMS - 2</li>\n
*          <li>ERR_INVALID_URL - 201</li>\n
*      </ul>\n
CSInterface.prototype.openURLInDefaultBrowser = function(url)
    return cep.util.openURLInDefaultBrowser(url);
Since "util" doesn't seem to be defined I get the message:
Uncaught TypeError: Cannot call method 'openURLInDefaultBrowser' of undefined
Is the something missing?
Thx,
frankin

Hi Franklin,
Apologies for the delay but I have been trying to determine why this API is not been working. I have since discovered that, although this API is documented in the JS library, the behaviour has yet to be implemented into Photoshop CC. Offline I will try to determine why this API was included in the library when it was not ready but for the meantime, if you would like to open a browser, here is a workaround:
Instead of using:
//(new CSInterface).openURLInDefaultBrowser("http://www.adobe.com")
// Use the createProcess API to open a browser. The following shows a workflow in Windows to open Internet Explorer.
var csInterface = new CSInterface();
var rootDir = "/";
var isWindows = window.navigator.platform.toLowerCase().indexOf("win") > -1;
if (isWindows) {
                    rootDir = csInterface.getSystemPath(SystemPath.COMMON_FILES).substring(0, 3);
var processPath = "/usr/bin/open";
if (isWindows) {
    processPath = rootDir + "Windows/explorer.exe";
var url = "http://www.adobe.com";
window.cep.process.createProcess(processPath, url);
Apologies for this inconvenience but we promise to keep you informed when openURLInDefaultBrowser API is fully supported.
Kind regards,
Lea

The default browser is set to 5.0. I want it to open 4.0.

I just installed the Firefox 5.0 update. I currently have 3.6, 4.0 and 5.0 installed on my Mac Book Pro for development purposes. Many plug-ins I use for development don't work in 5.0 currently so I want to use 4.0 instead. How can I make my default browser 4.0?
Currently, 5.0 keeps automatically opening when I click on a link from an external source/RSS reader.

I am not a Mac user, but have multiple versions and profiles of Firefox. I note you ask about Macs, but have system details showing as Windows 7.
I can only speak from a PC perspective, but no doubt you can sort it out yourself. It is down to the OS which browser is the default, although firefox has the option to check and reset that at startup.
No doubt if I delved into the registry I could find how it sets the default browser, but in practical terms what I do is allow the OS to set itself up.
# Choose any other alternative browser such as IE, make that the default, and allow that to take effect.
#Then deselect IE as default browser checking.
#Now start up the chosen version of Firefox, use Firefox's options to set that as default browser. (Options -> advanced -> general system defaults )
It works, although some applications may choose IE regardless.

With luck something similar may work on a Mac

Is it possible to make Safari the default browser on my iPhone?

I'm wondering if there's a way I can configure my iPhone such that when I open a hyperlink in a downloaded app, it goes to Safari rather than the in-app browser. I want Safari to be the default browser for all apps (both native and third-party). How can this be done?

It's a matter of the app. Some apps give you the option to open the link in Safari or in app browser. iFooty is one of them.

Outlook keeps opening links in Internet Explorer, regardless of Firefox being the default browser

I have Firefox 4.0.1 running on a Windows 7, 64-bit computer. I have Internet Explorer 9.0.8112.16421 installed as well.
I use Outlook here at work and have Outlook version 14.0.5128.5000 installed, which is part of Microsoft Office Home and Business 2010.
I have tried to set Firefox as the default browser on the computer. When I go to Start->Default programs, Firefox is set to default. When I open Firefox and check in settings, it says it is currently the default browser. I have tried to set IE as the default, then switch back to Firefox etc. But still regardless of this, Outlook opens all links in emails in Internet Explorer.
It is very annoying as IE is a lot slower than Firefox, especially when I already have Firefox runnint and Outlook needs to start a new session of IE every time I open a link.
Does anyone know how I can force Outlook to open links in Firefox when Firefox is already the default browser on the computer but Outlook still opens links in IE?

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.
* Windows XP Pro SP3
* Microsoft Office Excel 2003 SP3
* Internet Explorer 8.0
* Adobe Reader X (Version 10.1.1)
* Firefox 8.0

If Firefox is set as the default browser, and any application attempts to open a new window, this fails and I get the error "Firefox is already running..."

Here is what I am running:
Microsoft Windows 7, Service Pack 1, Fully updated to 4/10/2012
Fresh Install of Firefox 11. No add-ons enabled as a result of troubleshooting.
I am a user with administrator rights
UAS is disabled.
To begin, this has been going on Since Firefox 10 or so. A few months now.
I am able to open Firefox. My add-ons worked (ABP, Flashblock, ABP Element Hiding Helper, IETAB2, Downthemall, Greasemonkey, 4chan extension) had no problems. Firefox is set and has been set for the last two years as my default web browser.
However Since approximately Firefox 10 or so, maybe before that, If I have a Firefox session open, and any other application attempts to open a session in a new window, I get the Firefox is already running, but not responding error."
I attempted to follow troubleshooting advice already posted (look for parent.lock files left behind [none present], multiple sessionstore.js files [none present], create a new user profile, attempted to clear out the "read-only" permission in windows 7, however as soon as it is cleared, the read only permission returns.)
As a last resort, I deleted the Firefox folder, the %APPDATA%/Mozilla directory in its entirety, then utilized CCleaner to remove any and all references to Firefox in the windows registry, then did a full re-install, no extensions installed right now.
I checked preferences and have the option "open new windows in a new tab" checked off. The problem persists regardless if this option is checked on or off. This problem persists in or out of safe mode, even with the brand new install.
Test Cases:
All cases:
Firefox is selected as the default browser for windows 7
Case 1: Open a firefox session. Utilize any other program that attempts to open a link to their website in a new browser window or new browser session. Experience "Firefox is already running" error
Case 2: Open a firefox session. Right click on Firefox on the task bar. Select "open in new window". Experience "Firefox is already running" error
Case 3: Open a firefox session. Select the Firefox Menu > New tab > New Window. A new window will actually open.
This is the only method of opening a new window in the same browser session or profile that actually works on my system. Attempting to open a browser session from the task bar "open new window dialog" or opening a new window while a current window/session is running will not open firefox in a new window or a new tab in the current session. The "Firefox is already running, but is not responding" error will occur every time.

Cor-el's suggestion resolved my problem. Apparently the MOZ_NO_REMOTE variable was set to 1 on my system variables. I never made it, and really have no idea how it got there, but deleting this variable and restarting firefox has resolved the issue. Thanks Cor-el!
Marking case: Solved
Solution: Verify the MOZ_NO_REMOTE variable is NOT set to 1. This can be achieved by simply deleting this variable.

I created a word document with hyperlinks. When my default browser is Chrome the hyper links work. When the default browser is Safari, the hyperlinks bring to pages that just lines and lines of symbols. I need these links to work in both browsers.

Firefox is set as the default browser, but if I click a link in MS Word, the link is opened with MS Internet explorer. Why?

Firefox is set as the default browser, but if I click a link in MS Word, the link is opened with MS Internet explorer. Why?

What version of Windows and Office is it? I had this issue with an older version of office and Windows XP. Basically, MS are using their browser (IE) because it's their software (MS Office). If you go to options in MS word though, you should be able to find an option to set the default browser to open links.
