How can I make Firefox the default browser in a non-administrative account in Windows XP, where clicking to do has no effect?

I have two accounts for myself on my PC under Windows XP. In the administrative account, Firefox is already the default browser that appears when I double-click an HTML file, etc. Firefox knows that it is the default browser.

In my other account, whenever I start Firefox, it tells me that this isn't the default browser. By clicking here to make the value by default, or in the options, does nothing.

When I go to Set Program Access and defaults in the administrative account, 'use my current browser' is selected. Mozilla Firefox is not listed as an option. In my nonadministrator account, the Control Panel Add / Remove programs can be used. He says I don't have permission.

To check in the other account, you would have to temporarily give him administrator permissions.

  • How can I make Firefox the aspect that he used?

    I just bought a new computer laptop with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 and installed Firefox 21. Everything has been compressed to a small part of my screen and change the font size has not helped, nor have layout.css.devPixelsPerPx evolution. I tried updating to Firefox 22 and now, the toolbars are extremely fuzzy, not to mention that everything is always compressed. How can I get this Firefox looks like the way it's supposed to; Crisp, clear and use of my screen?

    Wow, everyone is complaining that their display is huge in Firefox 22.

    Your PPP of Windows setting is set to '100% size text' or 96 DPI? You can check the setting using the control panel display.

    When optimize you for Firefox, does not fully optimize? Apparently there were changes in Firefox 22 associated with window resizing (mentioned in another thread), but I'm not sure what it was.

    Moreover, for your screenshot, maybe you can fill half of the screen with Firefox and the half of the screen with IE, both on the same page for comparison.

    In case you mean that your windows everything changes to more than one low resolution screen stretched when you launch Firefox, on the compatibility of the shortcut tab program and make sure that none of the check boxes is selected it.
