Ok, I ran both of these scripts. After fixing the header on the first
one. Firefox did then become my default browser. One exception, all .HTM
or .HTML files on my computer still had the K-Meleon icon on them. Even
after uninstallion K-Meleon, this persisted. This makes me wonder where
it obtained that icon, with K-Meleon completely removed (evne the folder
for it). I would have expected that after a reboot, that the icon would
be gone. NOPE.... Still there.....
I finally reinstalled Firefox, right on top of the existing
installation. I just installed it as an upgrade even though it's the
same version. That made the Firefox icon appear on all .HTM / HTML
files.
Now I have another problem. On my desktop, I have several icons that are
direct links to websites. For example, 1. Local Weather 2. Ebay 3. My
own webpage. With K-Meleon, I could open the local weather. If I
clicked on the" my own webpage" icon, that would open in another
K-Meleon window. Now, I can only open ONE of these at a time. If I have
the local weather page loaded, and click on my Ebay url, NOTHING
HAPPENS. I have to either close the open weather page, or copy and paste
the URL from my deesktop link into another tab or window in Firefox.
This is really annoying.
How can I fix this?
Is this a setting inside of Firefox, or a registry issue, or what?
I want to be able to open any webpage by clicking on my links, and have
them open in a new window for each one. That's how it should be....
