default browser instead of IE #952 10/12/02 07:40 PM

knocte K	Hello. When I double-clic an URL, mIRC launches IE. How can I tell mIRC to launch the default browser configured in my OS? For example, Mozilla. Thanks in advance.

knocte K	I have seen the post, but I can only see some instructions to launch an SPECIFIC BROWSER, and not the DEFAULT one. In that post, I can read the sentence "When you click on a hotlink in mIRC, the browser which is set as windows default will open the link", but that's not true because I have PC's with Mozilla and Phoenix installed as default browser and mIRC ALWAYS LAUNCHES IE. What am I doing wrong? Last edited by knocte; 10/12/02 08:26 PM.

You can use whats in the post Merlin suggested and fill in the browser you want used. There have been a couple different workarounds suggested to use until the next version is released. mIRC is supposed to get your default browser from windows, but recently that isnt working quite right

I would however guess this is one that will be addressed for the next version.

I had the same problem. So i made this:

Code:

 
on ^*:hotlink:*//*.*:*: { }
on *:hotlink:*//*.*:*: { run "C:\Program Files\mozilla.org\Mozilla\mozilla.exe" -remote openURL $1 }
on ^*:hotlink:*www.*:*: { }
on *:hotlink:*www.*:*: { run "C:\Program Files\mozilla.org\Mozilla\mozilla.exe" -remote openURL $1 }
