How can you make Firefox the default browser when the normal route does not work?

Im trying entirely chrome once a friend showed how my firefox got his act together. However I can't for the life of me set it as default browser. I tried the 'make firefox the default browser' button in firefox, making that opens the windows default programs Panel. Whenever I try to use the Panel she simply sets the Protocol http for every night, which is not yet installed! ( http://puu.sh/2vJHM ) I think that a possible solution would be to change the registry manually, but I don't know where to start.

Thank you for your help, but I managed to fix it by myself. The registry key for the associations of html and URLs of firefox have been corrupted so I scoured their in regedit (at HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\FirefoxHTML and HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\FirefoxURL) and them deleted entirely, then redid them by clicking on the make default firefox button in the options.

  • 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 browser but not to make the default browser?

    I want to use Firefox as a browser on some sites, but not all. I don't want to make Firefox or Internet Explorer as default browser but use each on sites such as Google or MSN certaion web.

    For your choice of default browser, consider that you want to manage links in other programs, such as word processors, Adobe Reader, or an external e-mail program. Windows will use your default browser to open links.

    Then, when you visit a site in a favorite browser, open the browser and use bookmarks or Favorites to get there.

  • How can I stop Firefox my default browser, to have to ask permission whenever I open it

    It's only a small thing, but everytime I open my default browser, Firefox, upward appears the page asking me to give permission.

    Right click on the desktop Firefox shortcut and choose "Properties".
    Make sure that all items are disabled in the tab "Compatibility" in the Properties window.

  • 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.

  • How can you make records open or preview when plane of the mouse on them?

    I would like to find a way to create a folder, in particular on the desktop, that would popup or show somehow its content just with the mouse hover to say a second or something.  Something similar to how the start menu can transform files to the right in the menus that can be done from there.  I want to put several shortcuts in a folder to save space on my desk but I want to show them with just a mouse pointer so that its essentially the same functionality that have it on the desktop without extra clicking involved or appear a window of the Explorer.

    Unfortunately, this is not possible. If we hover over a folder or a file, it will show us the default information that is by design. You can publish your comments on the following link:

  • How can I make firefox save my tabs when I close it?

    Why can't make you it more comfortable and easy to use? Firefox is a great program but its lack of customization. Personally, I think that all that lack of simplicity, unfortunately has no quality. How can I fix this without having to change to another browser?

    Firefox automatically records the tabs when the user closes the it. They are available in history > restore previous Session and at the bottom of the default (topic: Home) home page - restore previous Session
