• 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).

• xdg-open does not take into account the url and opens the different website when Firefox is the default browser in Ubuntu

  I am running Ubuntu 14.04 64 bit with Firefox version 38 for Ubuntu
  It is complected, and I tried to explain everything clearly.

  Today, I noticed a strange behavior.
  I have several URL saved as .desktop files.

  I use webupd8.org as example.
  The code for the exec in the desktop file is:
  Code:

  Exec=xdg-open http://www.webupd8.org/
  

  Today, I noticed that if I try to go to webupd8.org, or most of the other sites, by launching the .desktop file for this site, or by typing the url
  Code:

  http://www.WebUpd8.org/

  in the dashboard Firefox opens to a completely different site. The site that opens is a site that I set up for my children's grandparents to watch videos and see photos of the children. This Web site opens each time. I'm not be directed to a site at random each time. This is the case when I try to visit the webupd8.org OR one of several websites using .desktop file or enter the url you want in the dashboard. Whenever I went to my own domain.

  It happens that I have also several sites registered in a reminder in the Firefox icon in the Launcher sidebar thing in Ubuntu.
  In the case of the beast, the exec code is slightly different and it still responds as it should. In this case, I have:
  Code:

  Exec = firefox-new-tab http://www.webupd8.org/

  Also, if I change my default in opera browser, for example as .desktop files and entering the url directly in the dashboard work as it should.

  To recap:

  When Firefox is the default browser, enter a url in the dashboard or use a to surf to a desired site .desktop file causes my be redirected to my own domain name (which is hosted remotely and not on this computer).

  If, however, I change the Exec command in the .desktop file
  Code:

  Exec=xdg-open <url>
  

  TO
  Code:

  Exec = firefox-new-tab < url >

  the .desktop file will open Firefox and go to the desired site.

  If I change the browser by default Firefox to another browser, everything works as it should and has always so far. That is, with the Opera for example, both
  Code:

  Exec=xdg-open <url>
  

  and
  Code:

  Exec = firefox-new-tab < url >

  result in the browser by opening and going on the planned site. Typed a url in the dashboard is not a problem if the default browser is not Firefox.

  Anyone seen this before? If so, how to solve it?

  Thank you very much for your answers!
  I checked the url of the home page in Firefox and it has been set at startpage.com, but then when I looked at the default programs in Ubuntu, I noticed that the default program for the web had been unintentionally configured to use a .desktop file that leads to t he admin for my Web site login page.

  I changed this back to Firefox and the problem was solved.

• Why links will not open an e-mail if Firefox is the default browser

  I still have this problem and now it's starting to affect the functionality of browsers and ease of use. When Firefox is my default browser, any link outside of Firefox (as in my e-mail address) will not be open that becomes a nuisance. I am running Windows 7, which can be the cause of the problem through a setting but I can't find the needle in a haystack, or it may occur to an update of Firefox. Firefox is my favorite and only since Netscape 1.0 browser, but if I can't solve this problem I'll have to switch to another which I really don't want to do. Help!

  Tip: If you're feeling adventurous, try downloading FireFox 13.0.1 from:

  FTP://FTP.osuosl.org/pub/mozilla.org/Firefox/releases/13.0.1/Win32/en-us/

  This site is an official mirror of Mozilla and has the GpG signature file in the folder with the executable file.

  I had to go back to 13.0.1 to get my links to open correctly.

• Firefox is my default browser, but Bing is displayed when you open a new tab. How can I stop this?

  I installed Firefox as my default browser with Google as my default search engine. I've eliminated Bing in the drop-down list in Firefox of spare engines. However, when I am browsing and open a new tab, the Bing search page appears. Google is still in the line of research at the top of the page.

  I want Google to be the search engine displayed, not Bing.

• 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

  Did you expect from a url of mozilla.org results?

• Example: Want 4500: I have Windows 10. On hp 4500 want I don't want to "print to PDF" as default. How to disable or change

  I have Windows 10. On envy, hp 4500, connected by a USB cable for my CPU, I don't want to "print to PDF" as default. How can I disable or change. Print only word documents and it is difficult to do not forget to change to print to PDF. Please if you can help me. I'm not savvy in computer science. Thank you!

  It seems that failed to print to PDF prints are a problem for other institutions. Looks like you can change a setting in printers and Scanners which determines whether Windows manages your default printer or not. Based on this image, I found that the option below is the list of available printers:

  I found this and more information here: Windows 10 Tip: disable default printer automatic management.

  Please let me know if that solves the problem or not. As previously mentioned, I will continue happily help if necessary.

  Thank you.

• How can I open links on a page loaded with Firefox in my default browser (Safari Mac) instead of Firefox?

  I won't be my Firefox default browser, but I don't want to use it for certain things. When I use it, if there is a link on a web page, it does not respect my choice of default browser which is Safari (Mac). It always opens the link in Firefox. Makes me not want to use it at all. Can I fix?

• Is it possible to install Firefox without using default browser of the phone?

  I would like to install Firefox and Thunderbird on a new Galaxy S - III w/o accepting the default browser.
  Is it possible to download on a PC, and a port then it on the phone?
  The phone is running Android OS Kit Kat 4.4.2
  It's on Verizon cell network.

  First of all there is no Thunderbird for Android. Any application that claims to be is malware. You can try e-mail K-9 client for messaging Android open source instead.

  By default, we suggest Google game users get Firefox for Android, https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.mozilla.firefox

  If you're completely avoiding all Google services, we suggest the build Firefox Aurora because it has an auto updater. It can be downloaded from https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/channel/#aurora

  You can install the build buy using the Android SDK on your desktop or copy the apk on your phone and using a browser of files, such as OI file manager to locate the file and start the installation program. You will need change the setting of the Android OS for the installation of applications from "unknown Sources".

• 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.
