Opening Greatnews links in non-default browser

October 4, 2006

I use Greatnews as my desktop aggregator & Firefox as by browser. I have not setup Firefox as my default browser for various reasons (that’s not the point here!). The problem I was facing was that all links from Greatnews would open in IE & with the way I read there would be a zillion IE windows. So to force Greatnews to open the link in firefox was to make it my default browser (which for me is not an option). Heres a little bit of config file addition which will get this done without going through all those changes.

ExternalBrowser=C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe

Note: I had originally done this at my work PC from a Greatnews forum posting, too lazy to find it now.
