jaws75 Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 Running Firefox normally if you select to set as default it won't because UAC won't allow registry changes without Admin power. The registry changes get redirected to program data which is only temporary.Right click firefox and run as admin. Then you can set it as the default and it will stick. Close and reopen normally. Firefox will now be the default.Just in case you wondered.I didn't see this posted previously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

duceyaj Posted December 25, 2006 Share Posted December 25, 2006 Another thing you can do to permanently make firefox your default brower (along with jaws75's tip) is to go to startmenu->Default Programs->Set Program Access and Defaults->Customyou can even disable your computer from accessing internet explorer from here.

It should but does not. Try it and then click a link in a windows app like Media Player get more skins. It will open IE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MGadAllah Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 but why not to make it directly from FF itself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaws75 Posted December 30, 2006 Author Share Posted December 30, 2006 Doing it in "Default Programs->Set Program Access and Defaults->Custom" only seems to change the icon in the start menu. Doing it in Firefox is the way to do it right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
