How do I set up iTouch to open Firefox browsers instead of IE?

[Mik3y]

Everytime I click on a shortcut button, it opens up a site with the Internet Explorer browser, which I really hate. How can I make it open up Firefox browsers instead? Thanks.

you can't

Logitech seems to hate mozilla, the shortcut buttons will not work with it. Only forward and back

Well my UltraX flat doesn't hate FF. If i push "www" button, firefox starts. Same goes with itunes

Firefox probably isnt set as your default browser?

Congrats but he doesn't own a ultraX flat. But we're happy for you.

Simply put, it doesn't work. ITs not supported by Logitech

Same here. You can have the buttons link to the firefox program itself, but that is about it... Sorry.

And I have sent a couple of nasty e-mails to Logitech about the issue -- and they (and me) have been ignored.

Simply stated, if hardware review sites (such as Anandtech) would ding Logitech for this kind of behavior, they would be more likely to fix it. An article is harder to ignore than an unhappy user or two...

Have the buttons link to the following program:

"C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" http://forums.anandtech.com

Works perfectly for me 🙂

this won't work except if you open up a EMPTY window, he is talking about one of the "shopping" or "My home" buttons

Use Netscape 8.0 which is based off of Firefox and has more features because it is IE compatible

set firefox as your default browser

Yep...set is at your default browser...

iTouch works fine for me--Dinovo KB
