The term "default browser" is used to describe the URL and filetype associations that determine which web browser opens when hyperlinks are clicked in a standalone mail client like Eudora, or when certain files such as HTM and HTML are opened from within an application like Word. Selecting Firefox as your default browser will also prevent problems with the Liquid Office timesheet form.
You would normally set a default browser using the the options or preference settings within the web browser. For example:
If that doesn't work, try setting another browser as the default browser, then (re)set Firefox or Mozilla Suite as the default. Read the instructions below for other suggestions.
Windows
In general, you can open Firefox and go to "Tools -> Options ->General -> Default Browser -> "Check Now" (or "Edit -> Preferences -> Navigator -> Set Default Browser" on Mozilla). If that doesn't work, try the following:
Force Firefox to make itself the default
If Firefox already thinks that it is default, exit Firefox completely, go to "Start Menu -> Run" and enter this into the text box:
firefox.exe -silent -nosplash -setDefaultBrowser
Setting default browser manually
