  1. Windows 10 opening Adobe Illustraor help search in IE not defailt browser (Firefox)


    Whenever I search in the help box in Adobe Illustrator, the browser that opens is IE - despite my default browser being Firefox.

    On my Windows 10 machine, if I look in:

    C > Programme Files (86) > Common Files > Adobe > Help > en_GB > Illustrator > 14.0

    I can find the search page and it's listed as a Firefox HTML Document. If I double click this file - it opens in Firefox.

    So why, when I use the search box in Illustrator, am I being directed to IE?

    I have another machine running on Windows 7 Ultimate, with the same Adobe Illustrator programme installed, and when I use the Illustrator search box on this machine, the browser that opens is Firefox (my default).

    So it appears to be a Windows 10 settings issue. I've made FF my default for every file type and process possible, but some of the processes and file types only offer IE as the default.

    Any suggestions on how I solve this problem?

    ETA: Windows 10 Pro. Version: 10.0.19041. HP Pavillion 15. 64-bit. Intel Core i5-8250U

  3. New Windows Media Player Plugin for Firefox

    Anyone who uses Windows Vista and Mozilla Firefox may be pleased to hear that the Windows Media Player team has now released a plugin for Firefox that should allow the browser to play WMP content on websites. Here are the steps to get it working:
    • Installation of the Windows Media Player Firefox Plugin may require administrative access to your PC. It is recommended that you close all other open browser windows before continuing with the installation.
    • Click the Install button to automatically download and install the Windows Media Player Firefox Plugin.
    • Depending on your security settings, you may see a Security Warning dialog box. Click Install to install the plugin.
    There is a known issue if you are using Firefox version 2.0.0.3 on Windows Vista with the installer failing with error code -203. To work around this simply restart Firefox (you will get a notification that Windows Vista will be changing the Firefox compatibility settings) and then install again - the second time should succeed.

    The download is available here, and the new plugin works on all versions of Windows XP and Windows Vista (although it is mostly intended for Vista, as that currently has no WMP support in Firefox).

    Windows 10 will not permit me to select Firefox as my defaut browser.

    Hi Walt,

    Welcome to Microsoft Community and we appreciate your interest in Windows 10.

    Let me help you to fix the issue.

    Let’s try simple steps and check if this helps. I would recommend you to select the different browser as default browser and try selecting the Firefox as you default browser again.


    • Type default on the Windows search bar and select Default programs.
    • Now click on Set your default program and select the browser.
    Hope this works. Keep posting us with the status we will be glad to help you.
