I learned about the 'a ref' code to put into a link that makes the new page open in a new tab. Is there a code to add to the start of a link that I post online so that it always opens the new page using FireFox?

hello sss30813, it's not possiblefor a link in a website to trigger the opening of a site with a certain browser. the only thing i could imagine to work, is when you create a local shortcut on the pcs for firefox (on the desktop for example) with the command line arguments to open a certain page: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Command_line_arguments
