CommandLine plugin and opening Firefox when searching - kriten - 01-23-2006
I have just installed the Commandline Plugin and tried out the
search facility by typing g truelaunch and pressing enter.
Internet Explorer opens to a google page with truelaunch as the search criteria.
Unfortunately I use firefox as my default browser. :?
Anyone have an idea as to why this is happening? That is, IE is opening instead of Firefox? :oops:
Cheers

You need to set firefox as default browser. In the firefox Open Tools->Options->General tab and check the option under "Default browser".
If you are using Windows XP SP2 then open Add/emove programs, click "Set Program Access and defaults", click the "Custom" in the list and set the default browser.

Thanks for the reply. Yes I have done both of those suggestions.
The problem remains.

Fixed it!!
In case its needed in the future here's what I did.
In an explorer window, click Tools->FolderOptions->FileTypes
In the list that appears select the line that has
Extensions NONE Filetype URL:HyperText Transfer Protocol
and click Advanced.
Then click Edit.
Make sure that the "Application to be used to perform action" field
points to Firefox.exe. Mine says C:\PROGRA~1\MOZILL~1\FIREFOX.EXE -url "%1".
Uncheck DDE
Click OK and then OK.
Also do this for URL:HyperText Transfer Protocol with Privacy
After doing these things I am now able to use the Command Line plugin to launch a search in Firefox.
I hope this is clear enough for others who need this information.
Cheers
