| 345718 | 2005-04-16 10:07:00 | Might be coz IE is set as the default browser. And changing it so firefox is the default browser may cause probs with some links after. If u change it. |

| 345720 | 2005-04-16 10:17:00 | And changing it so firefox is the default browser may cause probs with some links after. If u change it. Nuh shouldn't cause any. I have firefox set as default, yet any apps that require IE (such as getting your hotmail from MSN Messenger) still open IE no probs | Myth (110) | ||
| 345721 | 2005-04-16 10:20:00 | open explorer, go to tool/folder options, click the file types tab & set all the html to open with firefox instead of ie. you can set any file type suffix to open with any program there, so be careful | Phil B (648) | ||
| 345722 | 2005-04-16 10:36:00 | Aha! I'll try that - much appreciated :) | braindead (1685) | ||
| 345723 | 2005-04-16 23:07:00 | I know what you want and the answer is here. Its an extension. www.pikey.me.uk It called create shortcut.( Firefox Extension) Cheers John |

| 345724 | 2005-04-16 23:57:00 | Thanks John D. I'll check it out. Tweaking the File Types settings suggested by Phil didn't work unfortunately. | braindead (1685) | ||
| 345725 | 2005-04-16 23:59:00 | To set Firefox as the default browser: In Firefox, go to Tools -> Options... Under "Default Browser," click "Check Now." Click "Yes" if a dialog appears. To make a single link open in Firefox: Right-click in desktop -> New -> Shortcut In the text space, type in: "[firefox directory]\firefox.exe" [site] where [firefox directory] is the directory Firefox is located in, eg C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe and [site] is the site, eg google.com |
