Samsung Galaxy S II :: Use Firefox As The Default Browser?
Jun 11, 2012
When I'm Twitter, and I click on a link, the "Orange browser" opens up so I can view whatever I clicked on. Is there any way that I can use firefox as the default browser? I've looked almost everywhere in the phone menus to alter things but can't find anything.
I am using an atrix 4g and lapdock, and whenever I use the lapdocks firefox browser/facebook shortcut the browser allways reverts to the "m" site rather then the full one. This happens using wifi or the phone connection.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S6. Recently the keyboard keeps defaulting back to the Samsung keyboard, rather than the Google keyboard which is my preferred option. I've reset the default in Settings repeatedly.
When I click a link in an app, I want it to always use the standard browser on my S5. But instead, it asks me if I want to use Chrome or the standard browser. How can I always choose the standard one?
How do I move my bookmarks from my BlackBerry browser to my PC browser - firefox, chrome?My bookmarks are already arranged in folder on my BlackBerry browser.Is there a technique, tool or app for this?
My s5 won't keep a default internet browser. I keep having to pick between chrome, internet, and dolphin. Especially in Google Search. It's annoying that I have to set a browser everytime.
When I send a email using FireFox for Android it don't give me a option to attach file. If it will where do I locate this option? What other browser are good that give the option.
Every time i change chrome to default browser it does not stick. If i click on a link in email, google+, or twitter i still get prompted to use chrome or internet.
I've searched and searched everyone says same thing but nothing works.
I've checked "always open with" chrome and does not work.
I've went under all apps and tried to clear default for internet but it is grayed out and i can not click it.
Under default applications it does not show browsers so i can't modify there.
Under application manager I've also reset application preferences and this did not let me change the default browser either.
I've downloaded an app called "default app manager" and it allows me to change the browser default but it does not "stick". as soon as i click a link i'm still prompted with an option for browser.
When I first got my lapdock I was very surprised when I first started using Firefox. It was just like what I was use to on my laptop. I hardly even missed my laptop. When I got upgraded to ICS on my Razr MAXX I just absolutely love Webtop 3.0.My problem starts there. Although I love Webtop, I hate the browsers for surfing the web. The closest browser that I could find to fill my needs on 3.0 is Chrome Beta. Now, while Chrome is a great browser, it doesn't have all the features of Firefox. I so miss Firefox.Does anyone have any suggestions that might me in my quest to find a browser that is closer to what Firefox was on Webtop 2.0?So far I have tried Dolphin, Skyfire, Firefox, Opera and the default Browser. I have been disappointed with all of them in one way or another. Like I said earlier, Chrome Beta has been the best so far.
I recently upgraded from an s4 to a s5 and am having trouble transferring My internet bookmarks to the s5. I already have it checked in the sync settings but there not showing up. I am using the same Samsung account on both phones. Also Im using the default browser.
Changing the default search engine in the stock browser doesn't work in new tabs?
For instance, I'll change the default search engine to Bing. That tab will use Bing for searches. If I open a new tab or close and reopen the app, it will use Google for searches again.
My name has accent marks. I write messages to my family in spanish. How can I type accent characters in the Firefox browser inside the Webtop experience? I have Gingerbread on my Atrix.
Or did Motorola break Linux in a way to make typing accent marks impossible?

hey friends,i wanted to know if there is any way of switching opera mini browser to default browser as the nokia browser is much slower than the opera mini. I would also like to know what is making thw nokia browser so slow compared to others.
I ticked a "remember this choice" for texting to one of my contacts that has more than one mobile number, so it became the default. I didnt realise that the choice also applied to phone calls. No problem I thought, just unmark it as default. But that doesnt seem to be an option, i.e. having set a default, the only choice seems to be to change it to another number not actually cancel altogether.The only way round it i could find is to add a new dummy number, mark that as the default then delete the number. Am I missing the obvious?
I would like to download the Australian National Anthem and use it as my default ringtone.i have downloaded it to my computer and can see it there, but do not know how to download it to my phone.
I have an Sii gt-i9100g running ICS 4.03 (non-rooted). Recently I've been getting an error when applications try to update: "Application cannot be installed in the default install location".
So I checked my phone storage. phone memory: 1.97Gb Applications: 647mb Free: 247mb USB storage has about 10.5Gb available.
I uninstalled a few applications I didn't need on a regular basis and then the phone was able to update the installed applications successfully. I went in to application management and there's no option to move the installed applications to USB storage (I don't have an external SD card). So this raises a few concerns:
1: How come there's a mystery 1.1 gigabytes that isn't accounted for in the phone storage? I thought all of Android ICS was stored in that missing 4GB of USB storage memory... 2: If the phone doesn't allow further installations to phone memory when there's only about 200mb available, and if the phone has reserved 1.1 gigabytes for some hidden purpose, then is it true that without buying an SD card, we only really have about 700MB available for applications?! 3: Why isn't the option to move applications to USB storage available under ICS? I believe this was available in Gingerbread.
I'm new to the SII, but if its the case that this supposedly 16GB device only truly has 700MB available for apps without an External SD card, then I'm gonna be pretty angry.
Most applications don't seem to have an exit option and the only way I know to close them is the via the "Back" button at bottom right.
In the native Web Browser this button doesn't close the browser but just goes back to the last web page; and then the next last, etc until it runs out of previous pages and then closes.
It's an awful way of closing the browser, going back though all previous pages; and often there are warnings that you may be re-posting data again.
If I press the left menu button I can get to "Windows" and if there are more than one there is a "minus" sign top right allowing it to be closed. But when there is only one window there is no minus sign.
So if I've been doing some interaction with my bank and want to close the single main window I have to select "Menu", "Windows", create a "New window", select the new window, go back to the "Menu" choose "Windows" again, find the minus sign on the original window press to close it, then go back to the new window and press "Back" to close that one.
Every time I try to download an app the phone says not enough storage available, but all the storage in the sd card is available. I need to make he ad card the main storage...
I have a problem with 3G data usage - going way over. I've installed TrafficStats and can't see anything going over - I've been told that it could be my email being set up wrong but I can't find how to delete the account and start again
How the heck to you do it on an AT&T Samsung Galaxy IIs?
1) Press the Web icon 2) Go to search engine images of your choice (Google, I choose you!) 3) Search for an image. 4) Click on an image from the search results
Now how do I save it to the phone? I can't find any way to save.

how to close the Internet browser on the S2. After viewing several pages via links I don't know how to exit the browser. If I just exit the app by pressing the Home button it means that the next time I tap the Internet button it takes me immediately to the last page I was viewing. Surely that's wrong and there must be some way of closing the browser properly.
I have been using Nova Launcher on my s5 and really like it. Before I get Nova Prime I was wondering if the unread counts will work using the teslaunread plugin with the Samsung email and Samsung SMS app.
