    Hi, well I have this Microsoft keyboard with Intellityper pro. And when I set a button to a webpage it will open it IE but i cant find anywhere to change that to firefox and my default browser is firefox. So i was wondering is there a command using start-run that will open firefox then change to the webpage u want (not the homepage)

    Thanks

    I'm not familiar with that program. However, it seems like you have to tell the program-itself to open Firefox instead of IE. If you only have the option of deciding which website it opens, then make sure Firefox is your default web browser.
