Open a URL - Browsers and Tabs

[SoldOnParadise]

I searched for these answers first but didn't have any luck.

Is it possible to:

Select which browser opens a URL

and

Open that URL in the current tab or a new tab?

Thanks again!

Select which browser opens a URL

Yes -- you'll find this in the "External Tools and Plugins" tab.

Open that URL in the current tab or a new tab?

this is up to the browser -- though if you know a commandline argument to tell the browser about this you can specify it in the previous setting.

Thanks mouser, but I'm new to this. What is the command to call the overide...e.g. my default browser is IE but I want to open donationcoder.com in Firefox?

Thank you.

[mouser]

my default browser is IE but I want to open donationcoder.com in Firefox?

just specify the full path to your firefox exe in that option; for example:

[SoldOnParadise]

So this is a global change and I can't have a different browser for each alias? I use IE as the default but some sites work better in Firefox.

So this is a global change

correct.

however if you are using an alias, you can solve this simply by not specifying just a url in the alias but specify the entire explicit path to the browser with the url as an arguement.

so for an alias to open bing in internet explorer:

Code

Open Bing in IE | C:\Program Files\iexplore.exe "http://www.bing.com"

Perfect...thank you!
