I currently have Windows XP running on parallels, mainly for Outlok 2007. When I click an http link in Outlook firefox for windows opens up, I'd like the link to open up in Firefox for Mac, which I can start in windows via the Parallels SmartSelect Feature.

How to I make this Firefox(Mac) the default browser in Windows ??
 
Thanks for your reply koolaidman.

However, this doesnt work for me.

After setting the defaults I see

> defaults read com.parallels.Parallels "Parallels.MainApp.Default 'http' App"
org.mozilla.firefox

>defaults read com.parallels.Parallels "Parallels.MainApp.Default 'https' App"
org.mozilla.firefox

However, in Outlook 2007 when I click a link it still opens up Firefox for Windows instead of Firefox for Mac. i speculated that this may be because I have firefox in both Windows and mac, so I uninstalled firefox for Windows. Now when I click a link in Outlook I get " General Failure. Url was : xxx .. Application not found "

Any ideas ?

PS: This may be my imagination running wild, but I am thinking could it be that the defaults link parallels called "org.mozilla.firefox" points to the windows version of firefox and not the mac version ? and when i removed windows firefox that link went bad ? If so, is there a way to get it to point to the mac version ?

Thanks !
 
I got this working today by setting default browser (htm) to "Mac Only" in the parallels settings.

thanks all for your help.
