We're presenting a site that we've done for a client and put this all on a flash drive. I have installed Firefox portable because I'd like for the site to open in Firefox.
I've then created a shortcut which points to the index.html page on the flash drive but I would like for the shortcut to open the site in Firefox on that flash drive instead of IE, which will most likely be the client's default browser.
Can someone tell me how the Start In entry works in order to open the shortcut in another app please?
Thanks!
Sorry, I didn't notice 'Firefox portable'.
Put a batch file on your flash drive, and use:
FirefoxPortable\App\firefox.exe files\customers\index.html
Assuming that Firefox is installed in FirefoxPortable\App and the page to be displayed in files\customers\index.html

Context: I have three web browsers installed on my Windows 10 computer which are Chrome, Firefox, and Opera.
Problem: Whichever browser I newly open, they all start with this website:http://007eecfcfedlkh.jumpkj.chuairan.com/index.html
How it happened: I clicked a link on a website yesterday and it automatically downloaded several applications and automatically installed themselves without showing any instructions to install them.
Thing I have tried: I have reset the browser On startup setting to open my homepage, but it still opens with the aforementioned weird URL.
Thing that may help: Opera browser is very considerate cause it has this option regarding the On startup setting, which is Ask me when Opera is started by a shortcut specifying an URL.
Analysis and need your help: Usually, I start a browser by clicking on the shortcut in Windows start menu, or the shortcut in desktop. This worked normally until the problem appeared. According to Thing that may help, this hostile URL must reside somewhere. Where can I find this unwelcoming shortcut on my computer? How come this shortcut can attach itself to every web browser on my computer? What is the next step I can do to resolve this problem? Is this kind of a virus?
Usually when that happens, you'll have to:
reset the browser settings (or at least reset the startup websites on settings)
go to the browser .exe, open it's properties and remove any flags that were added on the path.
I think you shoud uninstall these applications first.
I am looking for a solution that will allow me to create a desktop icon that when clicked will open a url in the user's default browser.
The solution should work for mac & windows (or alternatively will need a separate solution for windows and mac).
For this situation, creating a webpage shortcut from the browser is not enough. It needs to be an .exe or app.
I remember being able to do this with Flash back in the early 2000's.
I am currently working with a classic ASP web application. What I'm wondering about is how it knows which browser to launch, I've looked over everything and am unable to find anywhere that it says to Launch Firefox in order to open the application. If i have firefox uninstalled, then it launches Chrome, however, when I hvae both Chrome and Firefox, then Firefox launched even if I have Chrome set as my default browser. Anyone have an idea?
your asp code has no connection whatsoever with what browser is used, it's browser independent. in order for you web app to run, you must open a browser FIRST, then go to the url of your web app, which will then fire off the asp code. It would be a huge security issue if i went to a web site, and it decided to open a different browser on my computer!
if you want to set Chrome as your default browser, follow these instructions:
https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/95417?co=GENIE.Platform%3DDesktop&hl=en
for firefox - https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-change-your-default-browser-windows-10
for IE - https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/17435/windows-internet-explorer-make-default-browser
Your default browser is a different setting than the "open this file type with this program" setting. If double-clicking an .asp file opens in Firefox, then that's the latter type of setting.
To change it, right-click an .asp file, choose the "Open with >" option, then "Choose default program...".
That all said, 99.999% of users will never have occasion to double-click an .asp file, because most of us don't use web servers as our normal everyday computers.
Trying to get all my client side software patched for the Poodle SSL3 issue. I have patched Firefox easy enough but can't for the life of me find any info on how to remove SSL3 from Chrome on Mac OS.
Anyone?
There doesn't seem to be an easy way round this at the moment. For now you can open the AppleScript editor and add the following code:
do shell script "open -a 'Google Chrome' --args --ssl-version-min=tls1"
Then click 'compile' then File > Export, from the Export options, save the file as something like 'Google Chrome Poodle-proof' (it won't work if you give it the same name as the 'real' Chrome app) and choose 'Application' from the File Format drop down list.
You can then change the script's icon to the default Chrome icon, by going to the 'real' Chrome application, right clicking and choosing 'Show package contents' , then opening the file Contents/Resources/app.icns in preview. Copy the icon and then right click your compiled app and choose 'Get Info'. Click on the app's icon in the window that opens, then cmd+v to paste the new icon.
You can now remove the 'real' Chrome application from your dock, and replace it with your AppleScript.
Bit of a hack for now, but it works.
I'm having troubles testing a StageVideo file locally. The HTML file that contains the swf loads perfectly in Chrome & FireFox, but when I go to open it in Internet Explorer 9 nothing happens (it just shows a white screen).
I've added the permissions for the location to the 'Global Security Settings' tab of the Flash settings manager (on the Macromedia website). I've also checked in the IE9 settings to make sure that it allows GPU rendering.
Has anyone encountered anything similar or have any suggestions as to why it might be blocked in IE9?
Thanks in advance.
My gut feeling is that you don't have the latest Flash Player for IE, but do have it for Chrome/FF since they're 2 different versions. The swf probably doesn't even load up because of the Flash Player requirement.
