How to make Firefox the default browser in Precise? [Solved]

[fobq]

Hi,
I have modified my Default Browser in Puppy Precise 5.7.1:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh
# was exec mozstart "$@"
#
exec /mnt/sda3/programs/firefox/firefox "$@" 

When Puppy is booted and I click on the Browse, first time, nothing happens. I search the firefox file manually, click on it and it starts. If I close it and click again on the Browse on the Desktop it already starts.

This problem occured about 2 days ago, before everything was OK.
Why does it do that?
How can I solve this problem?
Thanks



The issue has been solved:

If you would put the 'programs' folder in /mnt/home, the 'browse' button would always work, because that partition is mounted automatically at boot.

Hi fobq,

I'm guessing a bit here:

probably your sda3 partition is not mounted when booting Puppy. By going into the firefox folder and clicking firefox, you effectively mount the partition, so that from that point on the desktop Browse icon can do what it is supposed to do.

If you would put the 'programs' folder in /mnt/home, the 'browse' button would always work, because that partition is mounted automatically at boot.

In that case you would of course have to edit the 'Browse' icon again to point it to: /mnt/home/programs/firefox/firefox.

Good luck!
