How can I remove firefox as my default browser?

I need to use firefox for some courses online. However, it seems goof place I use other access. So I need to remove it as my browser by default and only access through it to the training site

It is on your Windows XP system?

First, disable the setting Firefox to check if it is the default browser. You can do so here:

"3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Options > general

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

Then open the browser you WANT to be the default browser and use any option it must have it be default.

(Windows has other ways to change your default, but let the browser do it is the most complete and reliable method).

Firefox has no button 'Settings' and 'Website Options' or 'Préférences' means making FF by default. Whenever I click on a link, FF appears as an option, however, and it works fine.

  • How can I remove firefox from the homepage video easily

    An irritating video appears on the start page of Firefox. Is there an easy way to block it and always to open the page in the normal firefox emblem? Any help gratefully received.
    Thank you!

    The best way to get around that is just set your own homepage.
    See - How to set the home page

    Many of us have disabled the changes made to the top [brandLogo part] of the Firefox Start Page, so that we do not see this 'trick '.

    If you feel adventurous, here's how to 'fix '.
    Type of topic: config in the address bar and press ENTER. Accept the message of 'dragons' to see the Advanced preferences screen. Use the search box at the top to enter the below pref.

    You can assign an empty string to stop your Firefox to retrieve "extracts" and brandLogo changes the browser.aboutHomeSnippets.updateUrl pref. Right-click this pref and select Edit then clear the value as pref in the box that appears, and then click OK. Who will also disable "snippets" that appear under the container of the research on the default home page.

    Then you must open the folder of your profile, via help > Troubleshooting Information > profile folder > > folder view button. Then close Firefox.
    Your profile file open with Firefox closed (Firefox '3-bar' menu key > exit/Quit), wait two minutes, then remove the storage\moz-safe-about + House folder in the profile folder of Firefox to remove the brandLogo and stored in IndexedDB code snippets to make Firefox use the default brandLogo and a defined default code snippet.

    If you later change your mind about these changes, you can reset the pref browser.aboutHomeSnippets.updateUrl via the context menu and Reset to retrieve the default to start to use the storage\moz-chest-fort-about + House record once again.

  • How can I remove Firefox update?

    It was corrupted once I downloaded it with a slow connection
    I want to go back to Firefox 41.0.0

    Sorry, but there is no way to roll back an update except by downloading a fresh Installer. Here is how I suggest to proceed:

    Clean reinstall it

    We use this name, but it isn't about deleting your settings, this is to ensure that the program, files are clean (not incompatible, corrupt or exotic code files). As described below, this process does not disrupt your existing settings. Don't uninstall NOT Firefox, that does not need.

    (A) download a fresh Installer for Firefox 41.0.2 of https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/ in an ideal location. (Scroll down your preferred language).

    (B) the release of Firefox (if any).

    (C) simply rename the folder of the current programme, either:

    (Windows 64-bit folder names)

    C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
    

    TO

    C:\Program Files (x86)\OldFirefox
    

    (Windows 32-bit folder names)

    C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
    

    TO

    C:\Program Files\OldFirefox
    

    (D) run the installer downloaded to (A). It should automatically connect to your existing settings.

    Firefox works normally?

    Note: Some plugins can only exist in this OldFirefox file. If it is missing something essential, present in these files:

    • \OldFirefox\Plugins
    • \OldFirefox\browser\plugins

    Otherwise, there is no reason to keep the old folder except research/curiosity.
