Firefox won't be the default browser for a user and pins himself to the taskbar

On my Windows 7 PC parents, Firefox always said my mother is not the default browser (giving him the possibility to make sure) and then when closing, he pinned himself to the task bar.

I checked and Firefox to default programs "has its flaws. I tried to get IE by default and then back to Firefox but the problem persists. The PC has no other browsers on it. Clicklinks in Thunderbird cause Firefox open, there'S no so it seems as if it is actually the default.

When Firefox is closed it still pin himself to the taskbar. I can detach it and when it closes, it is still there.

Search on Google, I have a suspicion that pinning occurs when the default configuration of Firefox. I also have a suspicion that something is wrong with the default for HTTP as it does not exist as a protocol to control custom Programs\Set Associations

I have it solved!

The command "Firefox.exe - silent - setDefaultBrowser" seems to have restored the HTTP protocol in control custom Programs\Set Associations.

I found this command on http://kb.mozillazine.org/Setting_Your_Default_Browser#Force_Firefox_to_make_itself_the_default

Thank you!

    I created a form with fields default text for a user to update/customize.  Is there a way to style of the text, so I can quickly identify the changes to the default text in a field?

    You can use a validation script customized to each text field that looks like:

    event.target.textFont = event.value = event.target.defaultValue? font. HelvI: fonts. Helv;

    This will make the text italic (Helvetica) when the field value is the value default and regular otherwise. There are other properties that you can use instead, as the field color, border width, background color, text or text size...

  • Assigning a default schema for a user.

    That would give the user permission to access the tables in the schema of the app, but it would not eliminate the need to qualify these tables with schema name, and it was the stated purpose of the OP.

    The solution to the OP's question is synonymous, as Centinul suggested. If it is for a single user, private synonym would be appropriate if, as it seems, many users, may need a public synonym would be more appropriate. If who is considered to be a security problem, then either the logon (ALTER SESSION SET SCHEMA CURRENT...) trigger or procedure run when a new user is created, a set of private synonyms.

  • Possible to make an element editable for some users and read-only for others

    Is it possible to make an element editable for some users and read only for others?

    I was able to achieve by catches of the select statement that I used to define an authorization scheme, placing in the State of read-only element. However, I would simply refer to the authorization scheme to use caching and to help keep things cleaner for future maintenance.

    Is it possible for a system of authorisation under a condition similar to the way point another element can be referenced by preceding with two reference points (e.g.: P1_First_Name)?

    I accomplished this in one of my applications by setting the value of a hidden Page 0 item on connect, for example P0_ACCESS_PRIVILIGES, and then use the feature 'Read only' integrated into the APEX for each article that I don't read for some users check the value of this element.

  • Set the default browser for Flash CS6

    How can I configure the default browser used by Flash when I hit the F12 key.

    Currently it is by default I.e. who doesn't there seem to be problems with the flash player even if it says it is installed. However Chrome works well, but for reasons that are other words that anybody's guess doesn't seem to like it.

    In any case, I think that the simple solution would be to simply change the default browser Flash wishing to use. UN fortunately an hour and a half of research has made no apparent solution to this task.

    Can anyone tell me where and how can I accomplish this?

    I expect it to be the same on Windows as on Mac, and it will use the default browser of your system. Try to change Windows so that the default browser is Chrome.

  • Suggestion: Add the ability to spedify default applications for modern desktop and "apps".

    One of the things that makes the Windows 8 experience feel jarring is the constant flipping between the office and the 'metro' style applications, especially when opening for example attachments to electronic mail, etc.

    Can you not an engineer (perhaps under a set of advanced options for default programs) a way to have both configured 'default' programs, when opening a file or an attachment to the desktop environment, and the other for when opening a file or an attachment of an APA 'metro '. This will become even more useful as developers to provide desktop computers and their applications ' metro' versions.

    For example, I'm in Outlook to send and open a PDF file. By default, it turns back to the app full screen (metro style) of Microsoft Reader, which is far from ideal.

    If, instead, I set the default PDF for Adobe Reader desktop drive, then it's better from Outlook. However, if I use a file browser in the metropolitan area or open an attachment, and then it comes back on the desktop to open it - that feels almost like a seamless experience.

    That kind of capability is especially important around things like photos, videos and music as well as files PDF - but would also help in other areas, for example WinZip (where they offer desktop and applications of metro style) and I am sure than others to go forward.

    It would be difficult to apply, but I don't think it's impossible.  But just my opinion here, I think that in most cases, people are not using the metro and the office.  If you are on a workstation, you probably only use Outlook and Adobe and all other office applications and never use metro file browser.  If your default program will be a desktop program.  But if you have a Tablet, you will probably not use the office. If your default program would be the metro application.

    I don't really feel like Microsoft for you allows you to switch backwards between the two experiences, because (as you say) it's very shocking.  But you (the user) are in control of that.  You would probably have a better experience if you just stuck to the one who is the most suitable for you.

    It is a point that I do not understand when people say they want it to work like Windows 7.  Except for the start menu, there is nothing doesn't stop that. You could put the programs and the shortcut on your desktop icons and the taskbar that you want and you will never see Metro again.

    Just my thoughts anyway.  I feel as if the switch is jarring (who he really is), do not switch. Stay in the most appropriate to your hardware and your preferences.

  • FF38.0.5 redirects to pages that doesn't open, asp/images/bg.png, won't Google as default browser.

    I just put to day and all of a sudden when I try to log in to some forums or Web pages, I see the page for a split second, then I see the box asking for Adobe Flash for a split second then it redirects to a page with the suffix /asp/images/bg.png, and the page displays "Page not found"

    I tried trashing and reinstalling FF.

    Could check you that you have all the extensions not recognized on the addons page? Either:

    • Command + shift + a
    • "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Add-ons

    In the left column, click Extensions. So, if in case of doubt, disable the extensions on the right side (or if it is completely unknown, delete). Remember that extensions are optional; none is included with Firefox.

    Often, a link will appear above at least an extension disabled to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links in the last step.

    Is that what helps you regain control of Firefox?

    If the problem persists, you use Kaspersky Security software? Some versions have a feature called "Anti-banner" who have been known to cause redirects to a GIF file. This is a different file, but it seems pretty similar to this problem.

  • Want to change the WordPad default values for font size and line spacing

    I use WordPad quite heavily because it is simple and fast.  But the new version of W - 7 seems to not allow you to change the default values for the font, size and line spacing.  The default values are not suitable for a large part of what I do and I'd like to find a way of quickly and easily, either make the changes permanent or change this to open with a single click of mouse or at most two.  Any suggestions?

    It is the "best" solution to workaround.  After you change your Default.rtf custom, simply move it to your system32 directory and add the "Default.rtf" at the end of the location of your target on the property sheet for your file WordPad.exe.

    Every time that you open its default location in the directory c:\program files\windows NT\Accessoires WordPad.exe, it defaults to now your Default.rtf custom.
