Firefox will ask if you want to make it the default browser, and you can select no.

  • Firefox will not set as my default browser? My desktop icon only allows me to open Firefox as an administrator? My family's Firefox accounts work fine. I have 3 other accounts have parental controls. Would that have an effect? in English

    * Firefox will not set as my default browser, regardless of setting the option?
    * My desktop icon only allows me to open Firefox as an administrator, while my family's Firefox icons are accessible?
    * The 3 other accounts have parental controls and was wondering if that would have an effect?

    OK, I think I have this solved. After reading my post over, I decided to rethink the problem. First thing I did was download Chrome and I tried using that and IE again and surprise! I was having the same problem on those browsers as well. So now we know it wasn't Firefox. I then figured maybe a slow computer meant a virus, so I ran scans. I've had both Avast and IOBit for months now and I've never had a problem with either of them before. Then I downloaded Malwarebytes and ran a third scan. They all picked some stuff up, but nothing serious. Then I tried disabling all the antivirus stuff and that didn't solve anything. But then I decided to keep Malwarebytes and I uninstalled IOBit Security and whammo - problem solved.
    I have no idea why out of the blue IOBit would be causing a problem like this so if someone knows, please let me in on the secret. Additionally, IE was working fairly well last night but not this morning. I also don't know why removing IOBit would take care of the nsAppShell issue, because supposedly, that's related to Firefox plug ins. And one more thing...when Comcast hooked my neighbor up to cable, they did it by putting a splitter on my line. They were messing about with the lines yesterday before I got on my computer last night trying to decide how to rerun them and today they did that, taking the splitter off my line and giving my neighbor his own line. That was finished about 30 minutes before I uninstalled IOBit. So....who knows?
    But I ain't about to look a gift horse in the mouth. I have my Firefox back and I am so sorry for bad mouthing you last night - I love you, Firefox!

  • If Firefox is not the default browser is there anyway to create an "Open with Firefox" right click option for internet icons on the desktop??

    When internet icons on the desktop are right clicked and Firefox is not the default browser, is there anyway to create an "Open with Firefox" option in the right click menu? If not you should create one in future versions.

    You will have to create a copy of the Firefox desktop shortcut and add the URL to the target line if you want to open such an internet shortcut with Firefox.
    A normal internet shortcut will always open in the default browser.

  • How do I stop Firefox to be my default browser ?

    I have another browser (Safari) and I want it as default browser.
    I don't know why, the window asking wether I want or not Firefox as default browser has disappeared.
    How do I solve this ? How do I stop Firefox to be my default browser ?
    Thank you for answer,

    You can set your default browser on the Mac by using Safari.
    # Start Safari
    # In the Safari menu select Preferences
    # In the General tab, use the Default web browser pulldown menu to choose your default browser

  • Recently, whenever I try to open Firefox, I get a dialog box: Exc in ev handl: TypeError: brw is undefined (JavaScript Application). Firefox is definitely my default browser

    Question
    Recently, whenever I try to open Firefox, I get a dialog box: Exc in ev handl: TypeError: brw is undefined (JavaScript Application). Firefox is definitely my default browser.
    After clicking OK Firefox opens.

    Doesn't work out for me either, so I keep it disabled, because it slows down the searches, and it won't stream its additions onto the pages after the first page of search results. Streaming or page zipping allows me to scroll down to the next page of search results without selecting the page number.

  • Firefox is currently my default browser, but my work requires I use another. How can I change the pref?

    My work situation requires that I change my default setting so Firefox is not the default browser. Is this possible, via a preferences file, e.g., or do I need to uninstall Firefox (which I want to use for other things)? I have been through every help file available here.

    Every browser has the ability to make itself the default. For example, if you have IE8 and want to make IE8 the default, here are the steps: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-vista/change-internet-explorer-programs-settings (ignore the Vista in the URL)

  • Will there ever be an Oracle Express Edition for Mac OSX

    I am curious if Oracle Express Edition will ever be ported for developers who use Mac computers?

    This is about the same question as the famous question 'How many divisions has the Pope', asked by Stalin.
    This is mainly an issue of marketshare.
    I don't think Oracle will be very much interested in porting OracleXE to Mac OSX.
    But I might be wrong.

  • I have imported bookmarks from Safari to Firefox but the bookmarks bar does not change in Firefox and match that of Safari. That's the part I need most. Any ideas why? Also, I don't see where to choose for Firefox to be my default browser.

    I use a Imac with OS 10.6.7. I've just uploaded Firefox 4. I had Firefox 3 already but do not use it often. I've been using Safari. I imported bookmarks from Safari to Firefox, but the bookmarks bar in Firefox did not change to match that of Safari, and that's where the important bookmarks are. Any ideas?
    Also, I can't find where to choose Firefox as my default browser.

    Copy the files from the old Profile into the new Profile, replacing the existing files that are in the new Profile. That will make your new installation just like the old one.
    Or if you just want your bookmarks, copy only the '''places.sqlite''' file from the old Profile into the new Profile.

  • Links in emails continue to open in safari even though firefox is set to default browser

    When clicking on a link contained in an email it activates safari for the search rather Firefox my default browser. I have tried removing safari, but when I do that no connection happens at all.
    Any help?

    Safari is not going to open Firefox since they are both browsers. When you set a default browser, it means that if you click a link in an email, say, the browser that the link will open with is Firefox. If you want to launch a browsing session on your own, you select the browser you want to use.

  • Why does Firefox make itself the default browser when it upgrades?

    I deal with a lot of pages that aren't standards compliant and have to be rendered in IE, so my "default browser" is a tiny app that examines each URL and sends some to IE and the rest to Firefox. Every time there's a new version of firefox, it makes itself the "default browser" and now all of my non-compliant pages try to open in firefox, so I have to dig into the windows settings once again and tell it to use my app to open HTML documents. The "Always check to see if firefox is the default browser at startup" is not checked.
    This happens each time a new version comes out, and has been happening for over a year.

    Sorry, I can't answer as to exactly '''why''', but maybe it has to do with the fact that every new version of Firefox has a new '''firefox.exe''' file installed - even the "minor version" security updates.

  • Opera 9.64 browser download for Mac OSX 1..3.9

    Does anyone have any experience to share on downloading and using Opera 9.64 browser on an iMac OSX using 10.3.9? Specifically, did you use the "universal binary" download? Thanks

    Your iMac is considered a Power PC, so you can use Opera.
    Also try the Firefox browser for OS 10.3 (freeware)

  • After adopting Firefox 19.0 as default browser, I experience numerous occurrences of Blue Screen errors with MS XP

    Since I have installed Firefox 19.0 (first time installation and usage), my computer crashes several times a week: the Blue Screen Error comes up and I have to turn down my computer.
    I've run all recommended system and disk checks. I also have Norton as anti-virus.
    To my knowledge, Firefox is the only major modification I've made on my computer before the default started to occur.
    It seems that other users have encountered similar problems with version 18 and reverting to version 17 (which I cannot do) seems to have solved their issues.
    Occurences of Blue screen: when using Firefox, or while screen saver on, or etc.
    Have you got reported issues of compatibility between Firefox 19 and MS XP when IE was the former internet browser?
    What steps do you suggest I make?

    Blue screens can't be caused by Firefox, it is what is called a userspace program, which means it can't access the kernalspace, which is what causes bluescreens. There may be something else wrong with your computer:
    Check for Windows updates
    Scan for malware [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]]
    Run chkdsk
    etc.
