Hello I have wine 1.15 running on mac osx (compiled darwine package) I installed firefox 3.x without problem and its running. But: I have a application that need more firefox. But everytime i run this application the gecko-engine ist started (which isnt functional and usable). How can i change the default browser to the installed firefox? Ihavent found anything on the web. (older documentation tell something about HKCU/Software/wine/winebrowser - but winebrowser didnt exist anymore). Please help to change the default browser to another one (firefox or opera or....) regards and thanks in advance Joerg ps.: If i start Firefox it tell me everytime that he isnt the default (yes, that true..) but i i say yes, nothing changes and after a new start firefox tell the same. in the winehelper-log i can see that always gecko is startet if some application try to call the default browser.

Hello Thanks for the link to the firefox bug. But nevertheless: Is there a setting in a config or registry of wine that i am able to a different web browser? I need a default webbrowser where i can install plugins in (for example djvu..). Additionally i need a webbrowser with a adressline to be able enter urls. any further hints? regards Joerg austin987 wrote:> On Thu, Feb 26, 2009 at 3:55 PM, ekah <wineforum-user at winehq.org> wrote: > > > Hello > > > > I have wine 1.15 running on mac osx (compiled darwine package) > > > > I installed firefox 3.x without problem and its running.

"Found a workaround! try closing completely firefox and run: wine ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/Mozilla\ Firefox/firefox.exe -silent -setDefaultBrowser worked for me..." That doesnt work for me yesterday night. I dont know why. After trying this the gecko-engine starts in again. (sorry for my english) Maybe because i am using mac osx with darwine and there are differencies i didnt know of? Is there a other way to set the default browser in wine 1.1.15? In the wine registry documentation is a setting like HKCU,Software,Wine,Winebrowser. But: I didnt have this entry (winebrowser). Is this outdated or should i create such an entry? regards Joerg

I compile 1.1.15 for ,yself because mike didnt create any newer (i tried to use his templates). Do you have a link to these registry keys? I didnt find anything useable. regards Joerg ps.: My firefox run without problem. But its nto the default browser.
Ok. Update. 1. I compiled a new darwine with 1.1.16 2. I used a completely new .wine envorinment. 3. I installed Firefox3 4. uncheck for "check everytime if i am the default" and tell firefox thats the default browser. Result: Yes, its the default browser Now my next Problem: The Application is use is written in an older Delphi-Version and use navigate(url) to tell the default browser to open a html file and show it in the applications window. i didnt get any information in this windows. the windows is white and empty. If i open the test-html file directly with firefox i can see infos. (the djvu plugin shows me a page corerctly). I have following log in wine: fixme:bitblt:X11DRV_ClientSideDIBCopy potential optimization: pixel format conversion fixme:shdocvw:PersistStreamInit_Load (0x14d8c0)->(0x1fb210) fixme:shdocvw:navigate_url Unsupported args (Flags 0x689414:10; TargetFrameName 0x689414:10) trace:loaddll:load_builtin_dll Loaded L"C:\\windows\\system32\\urlmon.dll" at 0x62bf0000: builtin fixme:urlmon:URLMonikerImpl_BindToObject use running object table fixme:shdocvw:BindStatusCallback_OnProgress status code 11 fixme:shdocvw:BindStatusCallback_OnProgress status code 14 fixme:urlmon:create_object Could not find object for MIME L"FirefoxHTML" fixme:shdocvw:PersistStreamInit_Load (0x1e04c8)->(0x1fb210) fixme:shdocvw:navigate_url Unsupported args (Flags 0x689414:10; TargetFrameName 0x689414:10) fixme:urlmon:URLMonikerImpl_BindToObject use running object table fixme:shdocvw:BindStatusCallback_OnProgress status code 11 fixme:shdocvw:BindStatusCallback_OnProgress status code 14 fixme:urlmon:create_object Could not find object for MIME L"FirefoxHTML" Can someone give me some hints where to search? As far as i can see there are problems calling the outside brwoser and getting information back? regards Joerg
