10.4: Search Firefox bookmarks with Spotlight
Authored by: Han Solo on Aug 31, '05 11:03:35AM
But presumably those Safari bookmarks, once found by Spotlight, will open in... Safari. If Firefox partisans wish to open their Firefox bookmarks in, oh, Firefox, then it does matter to them. And then your suggestion is not nearly as helpful -- or relevant -- as this hint.

That said, if it were possible to change the default browser (from within Safari -- bad Apple!) so that all bookmarks found by Spotlight opened in Firefox -- including Safari bookmarks -- then your point is well taken. I haven't tested this approach... you?

(Personally, I have no issues with Safari, but I know of plenty of folks who will only use Firefox. YMMV.)

10.4: Search Firefox bookmarks with Spotlight
Authored by: genericuser on Sep 01, '05 12:09:40AM

Those bookmarks should open with the default browser regardless of the metadata folder they reside in. I also agree that Apple did a BAD thing by moving the default-browser preference into Safari. There's a system preference called RCDefaultApp (google it) and it lets you set defaults for all the protocols and filetypes. Check it out...
