Web Browser for a site that with a single click install - browser

I would like to create a browser for my site that can be installed very easily. It should give the user the option to start with the computer, replace homepage links, etc. How can I do this....
The browser should be an executable which when loaded will show my website's homepage.
Thanks Guys

Chrome Extension "Go to Home"

I have to show a web project through a touch screen using Chrome in fullscreen and in Kiosk Mode.
People will be able to navigate a website in all its pages also pointing to external links. Since I don't want people to use a keyboard, I'd like to add a sticky button that points back to the home of the project and that is present in ALL the webpages that people open.
Can I do it with a Chrome Extension?
Do you know any existing solution that could solve my problem?
Many thanks! <3

Modify FTP default Internet Explorer page

I am trying to find the default page of the FTP webpage, as the one shown in
below:
How I can modify this page, or which HTML file / or FTP attribute I should change to get my needs?
Another thing, how I can add a link to that page to allow users to upload or add users, such that the users will not be created as a local computer users?
Can that happen? If yes could you guide me to the required tips that I should follow?
Thank you all in advance!
The page is not coming from the FTP server. It's just how the Internet Explorer renders the FTP directory listing.
You cannot change it server-side.
If you open the same ftp:// URL in another browser (Firefox, Chrome, ...), you will see a different "page".
You would have to implement a web application with your desired custom layout that does the FTP behind the scenes.

Trying to view website just on my personal computer while developing

I thought this would be simple enough but apparently not... Currently I'm just trying to make some simple HTML/JS files to test out bootstrap, and I'm leaving them on my C drive, and attempting to view them from within my browser (chrome). However, when I try, it just tells me the HTML file I'm pointing at isn't a website and that's the end of it.
What exactly am I doing wrong?
EDIT: It just says this
No webpage was found for the web address: file:///C:/.../test.html
Try starting your browser in admin mode. Open the properties window of your browser executable (C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe), go to Compatibility tab and check "Run this application as administrator"

open webpage in firefox

i am not sure..is there any chance to open my webpage in firefox. for example i am browsing mywebsite using IE. when ever i click link of the page then automatically it will open in firefox. this option is not for all pages only for specified page.
thanks.
If this were the case, ie6 would have gone out long ago. The best you can do here, would be to check which browser they are using (get_browser if you are using php) and refuse to show content to people using browsers other than firefox.
Instead you could redirect them to a page explaining why they need to be using firefox to access your websites services (I guess a link to the firefox download page would be nice too)
Sorry, it's not possible from plain HTML to open a webpage in a different browser. You can, at most, open the page in a new window of the same browser.
However, what you ask is not completely impossible. You could write a browser plugin that handles links and runs the Firefox executable
I would seriously hope this isn't possible.
What you ask for is not possible , but you could display a warning to your users that the page works best in the desired browser.

Dreamweaver CS4 - How do you preview in Browser?

I'm new to Dreamweaver CS4 and making my first website. I've watched a lot of tutorials and they all just click the Preview in Browser button and they can see what their page looks like in Firefox/IE/etc.
But when I click Preview in Browser a new Firefox window opens up and it goes to my homepage and that's it.
What do I need to setup in order be able to preview in firefox?
THANKS!
I don't use Dreamweaver, although I have it as part of CS4. But I just now opened up the app, created a test HTML page, saved it, and hit F12 (Preview in Browser). And there was my test page. I honestly don't know what you could be doing wrong. I thought it might be that you didn't save your file, but you get a warning dialog if you try to preview without doing that.
After some playing around I fixed the problem myself.
First I had to go to manage site and edit the basic preferences on my website.
I had to make sure the 'URL to browse to the root of your site" is valid.
In my case it I had to add:
file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/Linda/My%20Documents/website1/
