If you are using more than 1 browser in your daily work life, make sure to use the small little “Browser Selector” tool from Marco
The good thing for me is:
- Firefox is my default browser (web apps like gmail, wave, … just work nicer)
- Opera is for reading (reading, zooming, 100 open tabs: Opera is still FAST)
- IE is for Microsoft sites like SharePoint, MS CRM, … (that require IE or Kerberos authentication)
My configuration looks like this
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> <BrowserSelector> <Rules> <Rule Url="microsoft.com" Browser="IE" /> <Rule Url="msdn.com" Browser="IE" /> <Rule Url="msn.com" Browser="IE" /> <Rule Url="live.com" Browser="IE" /> <Rule Url="sharepoint.ssw.com.au" Browser="IE" /> <Rule Url="crm.ssw.com.au" Browser="IE" /> <Rule Url="intranet.ssw.com.au" Browser="IE" /> -------SNIP SNIP SNIP SNIP ------- </Rules> <Browsers> <Browser Name="Firefox" Path="C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" Default="true" /> <Browser Name="Opera" Path="C:\Program Files (x86)\Opera\opera.exe" /> <Browser Name="IE" Path="C:\Program Files (x86)\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe" /> </Browsers> </BrowserSelector>
Get it from the dedicated “Browser selector” project page

How I can I get rid of the nasty authentication dialog, on connecting to SharePoint with Firefox... Don't want to use your tool!
You can use "Windows Integrated Authentication in Firefox"! See here http://www.ssw.com.au/ssw/Standards/Rules/RulesToBetterFirefox.aspx
OR better way: use "Browser Selector" :-)
Whats the reason for not using this tool, except configuration in XML :-|
