Safari prefs show zsh in default web browser

I have uninstalled firefox and trashed all preferences and the application support folder. Now for some reason, in Safari preferences in the default web browser drop-down there is an item labeled with a folder named 'zsh'. This shows up along with Safari. When I install Firefox it goes away and changes back to Firefox. Not a big deal but I would like to get rid of the zsh since Firefox has been uninstalled. Anyone else see this?

Well, no responses and couldn't find a **** thing on how to fix this. My obsessive compulsive behavior prevailed and I reinstalled the OS.

Can't set Safari as default web browser

I recently installed Firefox as a back up web browser for when I have problems with Safari. Now whenever I click a link in an email it opens up Firefox even though Safari is already opened. My default web browser has set itself for Firefox and has even removed Safari as an option! I have to choose "Select" to get to my apps folder to choose Safari. But even then the email links insist on opening Firefox and when I restart my computer, Firefox is once again the seleceted browser in the Safari prefrences. How can I keep this from happening?

Hello Jazlow,
I believe to change the default browser all you have to do is open Safari -> Preferences -> General -> Default browser. That should change it for you.
Didn't finish reading the last post. You can try to delete the firefox preference file org.mozilla.firefox.plist or using a program like pref setter to edit the apple.safari.plist though I wouldn't recommend that unless your very familiar with the OS. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

Hello,
Many site issues can be caused by corrupt cookies or cache. In order to try to fix these problems, the first step is to clear both cookies and the cache.
Note: ''This will temporarily log you out of all sites you're logged in to.''
To clear cache and cookies do the following:
#Go to Firefox > History > Clear recent history or (if no Firefox button is shown) go to Tools > Clear recent history.
#Under "Time range to clear", select "Everything".
#Now, click the arrow next to Details to toggle the Details list active.
#From the details list, check ''Cache'' and ''Cookies'' and uncheck everything else.
#Now click the ''Clear now'' button.
Further information can be found in the [[Clear your cache, history and other personal information in Firefox]] article.

Thank you.

On opening default web browser in P1i shows error as "Corrupt"

Hi All,
I am Mahesh. This is my first thread in this forum. I have Sony Ericsson P1i. I purchased it 2 and half years ago.
Whenever i open the default web browser. i get the error saying "Corrupt". Can you guys suggest me how to fix this problem or reinstall the browser again?
Although i have Opera mini but this default browser is required for me because Track ID (which recognises the song) uses this default browser.
Thanks in advance.
Mahesh

Try updating or re-installing the phone's software using the SE update service on your PC, and see if this restores the browser.

Changing Default Web Browser After Reboot

Hello,
I am using Webkit as my default browser and every time I reboot the machine, it keeps changing my default web browser back to Safari.
I have used the settings in the preferences pane in Safari and applied the changes and after reboot it still occurs. I have read somewhere (I do not remember what website) that FileVault has something to do with resetting my saved settings. I do have FileVault enabled on my system.
Thanks for your help,

Launch a default web browser from my java application

Hello,
I have been trying to launch my default web browser from my java application, but am unable do it. Right now, I am using ---- "Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd /c start <url>"); to launch my webbrowser. It launches the browser but displays the command prompt for a second or so, and then replaces my already existing page with the new url.
Is there any way for me to launch the url in a completely new browser each and every time. And I don't want the command prompt to show up for a sec. Please help...!
Thanks in advance.
-BusyBusyBee

If by any chance your application is an Applet, you can use this to open a new browser window:
getAppletContext().showDocument(new URL(theUrl), "_blank");
But, you probably would have specified if that were the case. Oh well. Hope it helps someone!

How to set my default web browser

I remember choosing between Netscape and Internet Explorer my default browser nearly four years ago. Now I can't remember how to do it again. My browsers currently are Netscape 7.2 and IE 5.2.3.
Thanks in advance.

Never mind, friends.
I got a clue from doing a search on "default browser". Hello!
It's System Preferences/Internet --> Web tab --> Default Web Browser.

[SOLVED] Firefox won't start - "Failed to execute default Web Browser"

I've just updgraded from Firefox 3 to version 4 (by running "pacman -Syu") on my 64-bit Arch installation. I started XFCE and Firefox 4 worked fine for a few minutes before crashing and closing automatically.
A short while later (long enough to forget exactly what I was doing when it crashed!) I tried to run it again, but got the error message Failed to execute default Web Browser. / Input/output error.
I've tried rebooting the PC and re-installing firefox & firefox-i18n, but still get the same error. If I run "firefox" from a terminal window, I get the following response:
OpenOffice path before fixup is '/usr/lib/openoffice.org3'
OpenOffice path is '/usr/lib/openoffice.org3'
*** NSPlugin Wrapper *** WARNING:(/build/src/nspluginwrapper-1.3.0/src/npw-wrapper.c:3160):invoke_NP_Initialize: assertion failed: (rpc_method_invoke_possible(g_rpc_connection))

OpenOffice path is '/usr/lib/openoffice.org3'
firefox: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libvlcplugin.so: undefined symbol: NPP_Initialize
I'm not sure why there are so many references to "OpenOffice"...
Can anyone offer any suggestions as to how to get Firefox working again? (Thanks in advance!)

Thanks for that. After I posted my last message, Firefox crashed again on a website containing embedded video. I disabled the add-on, but when VLC was updated, I guess it installed and enabled the add-on again. Firefox worked fine initially, but I've just tried to open it again and the same "input/output error" message appeared. I rebooted, but the problem persisted.
Uninstalling the vlc-plugin package seems to have resolved that, though.

Photo Gallery not showing photos in computer Web browser

None of my photo gallery photos are showing up in a computer's Web browser? They show up fine when you click "View Web Journal in Safari" on an iPad 2, but when I publish them to iCloud and Share the Web Journal Link, the photos don't show up?? It's happening with all of my Journals. It doesn't work on a Mac or Windows? What gives??
You try it:https://www.icloud.com/iphoto/projects/#1;CAEQARoQdoVWsxptdYjcSQD-Rg1QVg;B692688 8-A220-4FF7-848F-6383BB15A5DB

Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh, matey. They all show for me in Safari but require several page refreshes to get them all to display. Those that don't display will if I click on it and then go back to the page. However, when retuning to the first page will put be back at square one and require multiple refreshes to get them to display, but not always.
Also, the page links are all messed up. Clicking on them just returns me to the first page. If I Option click on a page link from Page 1 I will get to the right page.
I am unable to get Firefox or Chrome to work at all on your gallery.

Issues showing PDF files in web-browser (Windows 7 x64, 32-bit version of AdobeReader X)

I'm not sure if this is the right way to share my experience, but at least I know Google will discover this thread eventually and maybe someone else will find what I have been looking for the past 3 hours
I'm deploying the 32-bit based AdobeReader X (http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4950) to Windows7 32-bit and 64-bit based machines. This is a MSI deployement done through our Active Directory. Everything goes well - no errors. Except for the x64-based machines having trouble showing PDF-files in the web-browser.
I used Adobe Customization Wizard X to customize our MSI installation - this showed out to be the solution once again.
Common for the installation on Windows7 32-/64-bit were that the value in the registry database for HKCR\Software\Adobe\Acrobat\Exe (Default) was set to "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 10.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe". This is valid for the 32-bit installation as Program Files is situated in C:\Program Files, but since it's a 32-bit edition of AdobeReader that I'm installing on the 64-bit based system as well, it's installed in C:\Program Files (x86) and the reference in the registry database to "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 10.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe" is therefore not valid - which explains why PDF files could not be displayed in the web browser. Changing the registry to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 10.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe" solved it. Now this is a manual solution which might be useful on 1-2 machines but on a bigger scale it's not the right way to do it.
I could change it with a batch/vbs script but still this is only a solution of the symptom and not a solution to the core issue. I therefore focused on Adobe Customization Wizard X again.
The problem was easily solved. I opened the MSI file, loaded the transform file that I've made previously. Went to Registry > HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Software\Adobe\Acrobat\Exe . I then changed the (Default) value from "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 10.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe" to "[INSTALLDIR]Reader\AcroRd32.exe", generated the MST file and replaced my current one for distribution. Problem solved! :-) The entry in the registry now shows : "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 10.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe" and PDF files are open without any issues.
I hope someone can save a bit of time on this one.
Best regards!
Alex Mikkelsen

I was able install and view the files in adobe reader 10.1.1 and in web browser window 7 64 bit machine. But when I go to Edit-preferences-internet and unchecking "display PDF in Browser" , I am not able to view the pdf files in ie 9 browser. I have used this javscript to check for pdf version.
Immediately after installing adobe--
when I do adobe test in ie 9---https://courses.worldcampus.psu.edu/public/diagnostics/Acrobat.html-- launches a test pdf file--Acro_Test.pdf
After unchecking-- it stays in the https://courses.worldcampus.psu.edu/public/diagnostics/Acrobat.html instead of showing test pdf file--Acro_Test.pdf
Tried to go back to "display PDF in Browser"--it is showing it is checked(eventhough I did not check it)
and in ie
it stays in the https://courses.worldcampus.psu.edu/public/diagnostics/Acrobat.html instead of showing test pdf file--Acro_Test.pdf

     // Build a command string which looks like "browser1 "url" || browser2 "url" ||..."
                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 (IOException e){
                             System.out.println("OS not compatible");
                                     }but it opens a page in already last opened window...and over writes it ....
what i required to open it in a new window of the web browser
so please suggest me the way to do it....
Thanks

.

you can open browsers new window using jdic...
unfortunately Desktop.browse() doesnt allow to do that, but we can do that another way:
        String urlToOpen = "http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5236723";
        BrowserService browserService = (BrowserService) ServiceManager.getService(ServiceManager.BROWSER_SERVICE);
        try {
            // exactly "_blank" allow to open necessary url in a new window :)
            browserService.show(new URL(urlToOpen), "_blank");
        } catch (LaunchFailedException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        } catch (MalformedURLException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

How to show a report in web browse

Hi all，
I have design a BI report in BI7.0 Query Designer，But I can't preview it in browse .When I log on BI7.0 System, navigate to the folder-favorite, click the report I have saved, it doesn't show ,but poped up the message:
Windows can't find the file :

lm sure the message server prameters are right for web application ,then is there other configurations?
Thanks!

Hi arya,
Thank you but it will show the same error message.
the question is I design the report in designer, but it can't be see in Analyzer ,or in the web browse.
as your solution , I click the button- execute , it will show the report in browse if it is configurated right.
I guess it may be something about system configuration, because in the directory error msg gave ,there are not the host name and port .
