Help with sidebar search

Shearer9 · 03-07-2007, 05:26 AM

I just installed the Google Desktop and I like using the sidebar. I love that I can hit Ctrl-Ctrl and do a quick search but I'm having just one big issue with it.... It opens in IE!!! I use Firefox and want to keep it that way. I made sure Firefox is my default browser and I don't see any settings in Google Desktop to fix this.

Can someone help?

set you mozilla firefox as your default... when you open your firefox select firefox as your default browser... or select tools option in you browser for the option...

Like I said, I've made sure Firefox is my default browser but I'm still having the issue.
Thanks for your help.

Weird... I opened IE and ran it's check to see if it's the default browser... it wasn't (as I knew) so I told it to be the default browser. Then I opened FireFox and ran the same check. After setting it back to the default the GD search worked.

Odd but glad I got it sorted out.

Thanks again.
