Changing the default web browser in Mac OS X, especially 10.3, can be confusing. This recipe describes one simple method for changing the default browser.


Start Safari (the standard browser).
Select Preferences… from the Safari menu.
In the General tab, find the Default web browser pulldown menu and make your selection from the list.
Close the preferences window (red x) and you’re done!

    I have made Firefox my default web browser. When I click on shortcuts I have saved in a folder called Weblinks which I put on the dock, they open up in Safari. I cannot figure out what is going on.
    Thank You
