I am trying to set default browser for the add-in I am using to chrome, but by default it takes IE always. How do I change this
I assume you are talking about a scenario where your add-in generates a new browser window/popup. On Windows, this will always be Internet Explorer.
Keep in mind that for all Office desktop variants, add-ins are hosted within an embedded browser instance. For Windows machines, this is an embedded Internet Explorer instance. For Mac machines, it uses an embedded Webkit instance. When you open a new window, popup or follow a link it will always be executed within that same instance.

So I am trying to get started developing Office 365 Add-ins (previously Apps for Office), and I was wondering what browser or browser engine Office uses when it renders your app. I tried using JavaScript's navigator.appCodeName and navigator.appName, but due to the problem described here renders that method useless. What browser or engine do Office Add-ins use to render apps?
It depends on where Office is being used. If it's on Windows Desktop, Office Add-ins use an Internet Explorer to load the hosted webpage in Office. For iOS, it will rely on the native WebView control. If on Office Online, it will use a sandboxed iframe, in which ever browser you open Office Online with.
If you're trying to determine the browser Office is running in, I believe sniffing the user agent string will work for you.
I recently went to do a demo of some a CRM solution I had been developing but when I tried displaying it on my MAC in firefox and chrome it comes up with the mobile interface. The instance will never be used on mobile devices so I want to disable this functionality for the whole site...How do I do this?
I had the same issue when I opened crm on firefox (on explorer and chrome it was ok), I assume you are using roll up 12 since only from this rollup you have other browsers besides internet explorer integration.
The issue with me was that for some reason, it opened the "default.aspx" page, which opened this url:
https://mydomain:444/m/default.aspx
When the correct address should be:
https://mydomain:444/main.aspx#
I'm also guessing that you have set up ADFS..
I had the same problem and what helped for me was to add the site to the Compatibility View in Internet Explorer.
If you're using IE 11, try compatibility mode. Settings -> Compatibility View Settings
Description:
The project deals with interaction with the remote desktop connecting through web browser (Internet Explorer).
What we did:
We have created an activex control that and installs through the web browser into client machine which lets the user to connect to different servers through web browser.
What is in Activex
In Activex we used an MSTSC.lib file and by passing the relevant parameters to it. It connects to the remote Desktop.
What are the Problems facing now?
We are able to connect to remote desktop but randomly keyboard does not work in remote machine. Where as mouse works perfectly.
I would tend to think that this is either a problem with the ActiveX control you're using or the server you're connecting to. It doesn't sound like you have a programming issue that's under your control which you can fix. I would ask whoever provided the ActiveX control connecting to the Remote Desktop for support.
I use Firefox as my web browser, mostly for access to add-ins such as Flashblock and No-script. I noticed yesterday that the RAD Studio internal browser used for the Welcome Page etc has scripting and Active X etc enabled. Is there a way to disable scripting, or better still, block all access to non-local sources in the built-in browser?
The Delphi IDE uses an embedded Internet Explorer as browser.
If you lock down Internet Explorer, you will lock down the Delphi IDE browser as well.
Note that parts of welcome page in the Delphi IDE need JavaScript.
But you can replace that page if you need to.

I have installed IE8 on my system. I usually test my application on this browser, but the problem arises when i got to know that the client is using IE7. Now how can i test my application on IE7?
One possible solution is to have dual booting on my system. So on version of Windows i can have IE7 and on another i can have IE8. But i really don't want to use this solution.
Another possible solution is to use PC Emulator [ Don't know what is this, just heard about these ]. Using which i can have multiple IE version simultaneously. Have you ever tried this solution? Please name any good FREE emulator.
Please let me know if there is any other better solution.
you can use
http://www.my-debugbar.com/wiki/IETester/HomePage
and here can you see all browser versions as picture
http://browsershots.org/
I got the solution. :)
In IE8, click on Tools > Developer Tools | or press F12
Then in developer Tools > select the browser mode [ available: IE7, IE8, IE8 with compatibility view ]
This is what i was expecting. :)
Microsoft provides a free set of Windows Virtual PC images for testing various versions of IE on various Windows service packs.
Virtual PC is also free.
Have you ever seen Microsoft Expression Web tool? It contains kick-ass tool for testing pages in various versions of IE - SuperPreview. And this tool also available free, you can download it here.
It's much more easy to use it instead of Virtual PC images. But it can't replace VPC completely because testing in clear environment is also very important.
This is a quick and easy web service solution, good for quick testing.
