Changing Address Bar in XP to launch Firefox

**Iphone** · 12-Apr-2007, 04:14 AM

Question: i have the Address Bar enabled on windows xp task bar. Firefox is my default browser, but the address bar always launches IE. is there a way to get the address bar to launch firefox instead?

I'm pretty sure the Address Bar should launch Firefox if it's your default browser. Check to make sure you have set FF as the default: This command will set Firefox as default, and should fix the http association settings automatically.

"C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -silent -nosplash -setDefaultBrowser

Type in Start/Run
