Re: [work] RE: [DQSD-Users] problem settin firefox as default (even with setbrowser)
Thanks for getting back to me. I renamed the LocalPrefs.JS - then edited and save the system prefs - reloaded DQSD with the ! - and it's still the same. I did not get the same results as you did. I'm stuck on IE from DQSD - but Avant for everything else.

RE: [DQSD-Users] problem settin firefox as default (even with setbrowser)
oh boy oh boy oh boy! I couldn't find that html file. I did a search of my whole C drive! HOWEVER your sugestion worked! I backed up my localprefs, changed the launch mode in prefs, reloaded the deskbar, and it works! THANK YOU! Turns out that I was being dumb after all. I'm embarrassed to say that there were TWO entries for launchmode in my localprefs. I kept changing the first one, but the second one still had launch mode as 0. D'OH! Never would have seen that if you hadn't told me the problem might be with localprefs.

The one dqsd is executing is in your temp folder and is called DQSDLaunch.html. Find this file and double-click it and see which browser starts. Could there be some formatting problem with your localprefs.js file causing it to not load properly? Try this - Rename localprefs.js to take it completely out of the equation and set launchmode=1 (not 2) in preferences.js /* Browser launch mode * 0=use IE * 1=use default browser * 2=auto (launches in IE directly if IE is default browser) [default] */ launchmode=1; Something to try..

RE: [DQSD-Users] problem settin firefox as default (even with setbrowser)
Based on Monty's reply you could always try setting it the hard way. I can think of 2 methods. 1. Have .htm and .html on your PC. Browse to them in Windows Explorer. Right Click and Open With... Choose Program. When the select app window appears check off the box that says always use this app to open this type of file. See if that does the trick. Else... 2. Open Windows Explorer. Tools... Folder Options... File Types. Find URL:Hyper Text Transport Protocol, HTM and HTML and make sure their default action is open ant that the application is the browser that you want. Let us know if that helps.

RE: [DQSD-Users] problem settin firefox as default (even with setbrowser)
Yeah, I can see that this must be a windows problem. I'm really at wit's end and may have to accept defeat. I had already tried manually associating firfox with .htm, .html, and url:blah blah... That didn't work. The reinstalling didn't work either! What I don't understand is that every other application I have accepts firefox as the default. When I click on any link or shortcut, even within Outlook, it fires up firefox ;-) And, like I said, the google deskbar sends its searches to firefox. Heck, even the windows address bar opens firefox! So, although I accept that it's a windows problem, I just don't understand how no other applications seem to fall prey to this windows weakness... I don't want to suggest it's a bug in dqsd, but maybe dqsd should develop some way around this issue for those of us who can't get it working. Why couldn't there be a preference for the path to the browser? Thanks all for your help! -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of John W.

Re: [DQSD-Users] problem settin firefox as default (even with setbrowser)
Does Firefox startup if you directly double-click a .html file? The one dqsd is executing is in your temp folder and is called DQSDLaunch.html. Find this file and double-click it and see which browser starts. Could there be some formatting problem with your localprefs.js file causing it to not load properly? Try this - Rename localprefs.js to take it completely out of the equation and set launchmode=1 (not 2) in preferences.js /* Browser launch mode * 0=use IE * 1=use default browser * 2=auto (launches in IE directly if IE is default browser) [default] */ launchmode=1; Something to try..

RE: [DQSD-Users] problem settin firefox as default (even with setbrowser)
Hi, I also use Firefox with DQSD and love it. Have you tried clicking the Set Default Browser under Tools - Options - General to reset Firefox as the default browser? I also made a file called user.js in the profile directory that contains one line: user_pref(advanced.system.supportDDEExec, false); which causes each search to open in a new tab. For more information see: http://www.mozilla.org/unix/customizing.html#prefs Hope this helps, Brent --- rij73 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Thanks, Tom, but I did try that already.
