i run firefox browser and would like to have any link i press to come up as firefox not ie?

Question

i would like firefox my default browser, i've chose this when installing it but when some links are pressed ie still comes up. i would also like to know how to program my default hp keyboard so that i can control winamp and not just windows media player if possible.

k- well i went to tools, options and set default browser. went to control panel and chose default browswer but still some of the programs i've intalled on the pc have links to the web and still come up in ie... i dunno if this is fixable. i'm bout to restart and see if that works.

Answer 1

Some apps, most notoriously Microsoft Office, refuse to honor your default browser preference and will only open hyperlinks in IE.

There's probably a way around that by hacking your registry, but I wouldn't recommend it.

Answer 2

Select Mozilla Firefox as the default browser. You can do that from right inside Firefox. Go to Tools > Options. And you will see that option there.

Answer 3

Go into tools,options,main then click on Check Now to see if it is your default browser.If that doesn't work click,Start,Control Panel,Add/Remove Programs,Set Program Defaults. Check to make sure Firefox is your default there as well.

Answer 4

At the top of the browser window, select tools, option, then in the default browser section, click on Check Now. If it isn't the default browser you will get the option to make it so by clicking on yes. You can see step-by-step instructions at http://www.comcast.net/help/faq/index.jsp?faq=BrowserFirefox18082

Answer 5

you will have to go to option menu .. then select the main tab and check the box saying check firefox as default browser box .. this should fix your problem
