Forums mIRC Help Default Web Browser

How i can use firefox as default web browser on mIRC when open an url ?

Set Firefox as your default Windows browser. This is what mIRC uses. If you don't know how to do this, go to Tools > Options > General and check the box under 'Default browser'. Click 'Check Now'.

Also make sure you're using the latest version of mIRC, version 6.03 (that some people continue to use) has a bug that means mIRC only uses IE.

Regards,

Yes i do, but i don't know why, when i installed last version of FireFox (v 1.5.0.2), when i do doble click on url in mIRC open with Internet Explorer, i set FireFox my default web browser and nothing.

I need to change some windows register or something?

I find solution in mozillazine forum

Not sure what you mean in your question, but assuming you want to be able to double click a URL in mIRC and have it open in Firefox, here's your answer:

The current version (6.16) of mIRC and previous versions have a bug in it where clicking on a URL often opens MSIE instead of another browser. This may be corrected in a new version of mIRC, which is rumored to be being worked on. In any event, until Khaled gets mIRC fixed, you will need to add the following in your mIRC remotes:

on ^*:HOTLINK:http*//*.*:*:return
on *:HOTLINK:http*//*.*:*:run "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\mozilla.exe" $1-
on ^*:HOTLINK:www.*:*:return
on *:HOTLINK:www.*:*:run "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\mozilla.exe" $1-

The above is for default directories for Fx. Flavor to taste according to the path and your browser's executable file.

Thanks

I think Khaled now uses the more 'correct' method of opening URLs in the latest version of mIRC (6.17) by using the ShellExecute() api.
