Problem:
I want to use Netscape as the web browser, but every time I click a hyperlink in
an e-mail message, Internet Explorer web browser starts instead.
(Or the reverse situation where you want Internet Explorer to be your
default.)
To make Netscape the default web
browser
- In Windows Explorer, go to
C:\Program Files\Netscape\Users
In that directory, you will see your user folder, and inside is your 'Pref.js'
file.
- Right-click 'Prefs.js' and open it with Notepad
- On the line
user_pref("browser.wfe.ignore_def_check", true);
change the word true to false and save the file (ignore the text at the
topof the file that warns you not to edit the file).
- Next time you start Netscape, the dialog box will come up asking if you
want to make Netscape your default browser. Choose Yes.
