  • When I ask Firefox to get whatever it is, the answer is provided by Google, why, even if Firefox is my default browser?

    Firefox is my default browser, but the answers to any question search provided by Google.

    Mozilla never has not its own search site as a research site for example bing.com, google.com, yahoo.com etc.

    You can choose one of the search engines by default that comes in the search bar or you can add another site to say http://mycroftproject.com/

    It seems that if you do not use en Firefox as otherwise you would get from search results to Yahoo rather default since Firefox 34.0

    Uncheck the "always check if Firefox is your default browser"

  • Some Web sites require IE, and accidentally set Firefox as my default browser has completely messed up my desktop shortcuts.

    When I changed my default back to IE, changed icons back, but everything always opens in Firefox... How can I get the shortcuts to open in Internet Explorer? I tried to delete the shortcuts of origin and by creating new ones, but they always open in Firefox...
    Thank you

    Hello

    I'm not 100% sure that understand your problem. What you have said, I think you are saying that you have changed your default Firefox browser, and the desktop icons all passed under the icon of internet Explorer (blue e) to the firefox icon. You have changed the default back to IE browser, but the icons have not changed back, and when you click on them, they open in Firefox.

    If this is the case, the problem is with your default browser configuration. What you have said, you have already settled it in the browser similar to the support article. for some reason any Windows has not changed the default browser.

    You can try (in Win 7) open the Control Panel, then programs-> set default programs and click Internet Explorer in there, then "set this program as default.

  • Flash Player update is linked to the default browser?  -Flash not automatically updated when Chrome is the default

    Hello

    I managed machines for an organization where the majority of users have no administrator rights.  I put the Flash drive to automatically install updates.  In accordance with article (old)

    How the auto update feature does not work in Flash Player?

    "Normal Flash Player installations require an administrator account. However, automatic updates are executed even if the user is logged on with a standard account. »


    So I think my clients should be updated automatically to version 18.  However when I check, I see that they have not updated.  After watching cela some more I realize that when I use the control panel to check the updates that he launched Chrome, which is our default browser.  Of course, Chrome is up-to-date, because Google takes care of this.  However if I run IE and paste the URL of the version check in IE I see that flash is not up-to-date.  So, I try to run the update of IE, and when he is finished he launched a Chrome page again.  So it seems to me that Flash player uses whatever the browser is configured as default browser to search for updates with Adobe.  However this will not work if a user has Chrome as their default browser, and also has flash player installed separately for IE.


    Do you understand my point?  How can I get Flash player automatically updated when a new version is available, even if my default browser is set on Chrome?


    Thank you


    Scott

    Hey Piyush

    Thank you very much for this information.  So basically the feature to 'Allow Adobe to update Flash Player' does not work in all changes of the version.  I find it incredibly misleading.  Rather that engage in a cumbersome process to allow each year the opportunity to distribute flash and then create group policies to deploy, and then test the results to have these policies in place when flash tries to update itself, pay attention to the current versions of flash in order to deploy new .msi files and update our policies...

    I think I'll just remove the flash of all our systems.  It is clear that after installing flash is a continuous security risk and it is regrettable that we cannot rely on Adobe to help keep their own software update in a simple and effective way.  It's amazing to me that Google can do a better job of keeping flash updated in their browser at adobe.

    Thank you
