Do a malware check with some malware scan programs. You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware. Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of the database before doing a scan.

  • Make firefox default browser for all users without firefox checking for default browser

    Hi,
    we have 2 citrix servers in the same farm . We want to make firefox the default browser for all of our users.We also want to ignore the settings that they decide themselves influencing the default browser.<br />
    Now the citrix forum suggested that i made a gpo that edits the folowing register keys:
    HKCR\http\shell\open\command Change the value in the default key to firefox.exe location.<br />
    HKCR\http\shell\open\ddeexec Change the value in the default key to Firefox HKCR\https\shell\open\command Change the value in the default key to firefox.exe location.<br />
    HKCR\https\shell\open\ddeexec Change the value in the default key to Firefox
    so i did that , and all our links now open through firefox.<br />
    However we still get the question to make firefox our default browser while it already is defined as default browser since it opens links using firefox.
    the 2nd strange thing we encountered is when we open pdf's using firefox , firefox opens but the pdf's won't open untill we make firefox default browser using the provided popup window when we start firefox<br />
    i have googled this for days now without a proper answer . i even tried to run the "firefox.exe -silent -setDefaultBrowser" command to fix it on my personal profile without any luck.that's why i am relying on your answer

    Just in case, check this article for the missing information

  • I want Firefox browser not,YAHOO (I don't know this came to be), I'm unable to use the How to make Firefox my browser because this requires a menu bar, and until I get rid of YAHOO! I can not see a menu bar. Help Regards Arthur Norton.

    I want Firefox as Browser. I've got Yahoo, but wish to delete it. I do not have a menu bar therefore cannot use How to make Firefox etc.

    The akamai servers are used by a lot of web servers to store large files (e.g. images and media files)
    A domain with fbstatic in it is likely a domain that is used by Facebook (fb), so you may have other problems if you stay on such a web page or get redirected
    If you use extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) like <i>Adblock Plus</i> or <i>NoScript</i> or <i>Flash Block</i> that can block content then make sure that such extensions aren't blocking content.
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
    *Do not click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.

  • I am unable to make Firefox my default browser. Please help

    I used to use Firefox as my default browser, and it worked as it should. I decided to try the Opera browser, and was not satisfied, and tried to switch my default back to Firefox. It would not switch. I uninstalled Opera, and once again tried to set Firefox as default....no luck. I uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox. It would not set as default. I also have IE and Chrome installed, and neither of them will let me set to default. So, basically, I have no default browser. When I go to my tools menu, and try to set Firefox as default, it says Firefox already is set as default. Any help would certainly be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

  • How do I make Firefox the browser but not make it the default browser?

    I want to use Firefox as the browser on some sites but not all. I don't want to make either Firefox or Internet Explorer as a default browser but use each on certaion web sites such as Google or MSN.

    For your choice of default browser, think about the one you want to handle links in other programs, such as word processors, Adobe Reader, or an external email program. Windows will use your default browser to open those links.
    Then when you want to visit a site in a preferred browser, open that browser and use its bookmarks or favorites to get there.

  • How to make firefox default browser

    When I try to access apps espn app for the droidx for ex. they are set to open with the stock browser. I would like them to open with firefox. How do I make this happen.

    # Open the Android "Settings" app.
    # Tap on "Applications" then "Manage Applications."
    # Tap on the "All" tab, then find Browser and tap on it.
    # Under "Launch by default" press the "Clear Defaults" button.
    Now when you open a link, Android will ask which browser to use, and offer to set a new default.

  • How can I make Firefox default browser for links in Earthlink emails? I have already verified that Firefox is my default browser, but clicking on links usually opens IE rather than Firefox.

    Basically I have verified that Firefox is my default browser and it works great. Earthlink is my default email program. About 70% of the time when I click on a link in an Earthlink email it opens with Firefox, but the other 30% of the time it opens with IE, which I don't want to happen. Is there any way to fix this?

  • Unable to download firefox web browser....stops at 1MB

    using google chrome or win exporer 8 whilst trying to download mozilla firefox it stops at 1MB and when I say run the message is file corrupt.

    It is possible that your anti-virus software is corrupting the downloaded files or otherwise interfering with downloading files by Firefox.<br />
    You can try to disable the real-time (live) scanning of files in your anti-virus software temporarily to see if that makes downloading work.
