I'd like to open a webpage upon login on Mac.

What i did so far: - I saved the url location from firefox onto my desktop. It's a .webloc file. Firefox can open this file at this point. - Firefox is set up as my default browser. - Added the webloc-file to my startup list on my Mac useraccount.

Then i try. The website will open, but it uses Safari instead of Firefox (firefox is still default browser).

Next thing it tried: - Associate .webloc files to open with Firefox by default instead of Safari (that appeared to be the problem). - PROBLEM: Mac/Firefox won't let me use Firefox as default application to run webloc files with.

How to solve this?

Hello Zeror, you have firefox as default browser in firefox preferences only ?

or you have it already and in your safari preferences ? check from Safari : menu > Preferences > General > Default web browser > firefox .

you can try the above if you haven't already.


thank you

Safari settings says that Firefox is the default browser. Problem isn't solved yet and still occurs.
