Switch browser for GSAK?

Post by MalanDi » 23 October 11 8:55 pm

I appear to be having some issues with Firefox browser, which means that when I attempt to use tools/ polygon/drawing action in GSAK it will not open.
Can I change the nominated browser to Google Chrome instead of FFox?
If so how?
I have done a control panel uninstall of FF and then downloaded latest version, but it then opens up with my "old settings".
If I uninstall and then reload, surely all old settings should be negated?!
Thanks.
Malcolm

GSAK only supports IE as its internal browser.

AFAIK You can't change it to anything else.

It would be much better to ask GSAK questions in the GSAK forum

On my PC I just tried this and the ploygon tool just opened another tab in Google Chrome, which is what my hands are soaking in now.
I think this would be determined by your system defaults.
Just change your default browser to Chrome and try it.

If you have been using Firefox and you open Chrome, it will probably ask if you want to change your default browser to Chrome.
Unless you want to use some of the special purpose extensions Firefox has, then just uninstall it.

I have just been able to determine how to change my default browser to Chrome and have in turn been able to activate the polygon feature on GSAK.
Just have to sort out my other issue with FFox now.
Thanks.
