#registry

4 posts · Last used Jul 18

I sometimes have a problem with Firefox wherein it will refuse to open links from Thunderbird. It keeps asking me if I wish to refresh Firefox or run it in troubleshoot mode. I find this to be very annoying. I would like to make a portable version my ddefault broswer so that, when this starts, I can simply swap it with a working version instead of having to refresh, etc. How can I do this in Windows 7? I know it has to do with the registry, and I thought there was a premade script for it where all I would need to do would be to enter the location of the browser for it to work, but I can't find said script. Any help would be appreciated. Note: this could also be done with Supermium, thereby eliminating my issue with the inaccessible installer in the full version. Hence my accessibility and blind tags. #accessibility #blind #browser #DefaultPrograms #Firefox #registry #scripts #Supermium #technology #Windows7

@sereeena@infosec.exchange @pseudonym@mastodon.online same but if I’m honest, it’s my love for the deterministic era of computer software, in the 8-bit and 16-bit era when multitasking and machine “state” weren’t enforced by monolithic, undocumented registries and UUIDs Ah that’s probably why I hated MS-DOS 5 adding serial numbers to floppy disks #UUID #registry #windowsregistry #deterministic
