Browser Integration (Pathfinder)


JT Croteau
 

Dave,

Firefox is my default web browser. Additionally, it was set as
default before I installed DXLab.

DXLab's online help pages launch Firefox properly for all related
applications. However, I have a problem with Pathfinder. When I
launch a site from within Pathfinder, say someones homepage linked on
their QRZ bio, it always launches IE and not Firefox.

Is IE hardwired into Pathfinder or might there be a separate registry
entry for Pathfinders browser?

Thanks

Pathfinder is essentially a customized version of Internet Explorer.
There is no way to configure it to use Firefox.

He's not wanting Pathfinder to use Firefox, though. He's clicking links for stations he finds in Pathfinder, and the clicks open a new browser, currently Internet Explorer.

Understandably, Pathfinder is coded around Internet Explorer, and I guess there's nothing we can do about that. But can't it be modified so that when I click on a link that calls another browser, it opens the default browser set in Windows (in my case, Firefox)?

I understand, John. I have not been able to find a reliable technique
for intercepting the URL being clicked on by the user in Pathfinder
and routing this to another web browser.
